I like my wallets leather, with plenty of space for useless bits of plastic, ids, cash and coins (preferably with a zipped compartment for the coins).
But the ones I use never seem to last longer then a couple of months before falling apart. Is it time to give up on leather, or do I just need to go for a better quality?
search easecase on ebay.

Never used one and never will, pockets are fine.
^That's my bad mother ****er!
My leather wallets last for years.
HTH.
Yeah I'm on my second leather wallet in the last 10+ yrs. Both were/are used a lot.
Mulberry, holds eight cards plus notes. £50 in the factory outlet in Bicester. I try and keep it out of the back pocket when cycling to avoid moisture. I suspect the need to hold coins is not doing much for longevity. "What's in your wallet?"
You want an Oakley kevlar wallet.
Had mine for 5 or 6 years and it just won't wear out.
Hermès make the best imho. Or Longchamp for cheap alternative.
Check Nixon wallets. I've got a Big Note model, leather, nicely made, still going strong after 3 years.
Oakley Kevlar wallet for everyday/biking (as stu says it won't wear out, had mine approx 10 years)
Paul Smith for all other occasions
Why are you putting coins in a wallet? Surely that's a purse?
rocking a slim clip here
it was a freebee with some corporate bull shit on it
Leather jobby from El Corte Inglés about 12 years ago, quite expensive I think (present) and very good quality.
Old Pace cycles one - its got to be over 10 years old now!
My current one is a John Lewis that my wife bought me a couple of years ago. Wearing well and loads of slots etc.
Mustard
An (empty) bangers and mash leather one.
CHB with easecase is winning me over at the moment, I don't see the point in spending more on the wallet then I'm going to put in there 😀
what wallet do i have? an empty one i tell ya 🙁
A Mulberry leather one
I have an animal leather one that cost me about £20 5 years ago and is still going strong and looking good
A Fender one I got from TK Maxx years ago for 99p.
a nylon quicksilver 10yr old one.
it is empty........ 😉
Another factory seconds Mulbery here (£30), 10 years plus on this one and still going strong but no coins in it - infact lately no much in it at all 🙁 . James has had an Animal Nylon for 5 years with coins in it gives it hell and still intact. Like the look of the Paul Smith and one has a coin pocket! But £149 !!!
What does everyone do with their coins then if not put them in your wallet? Pocket?
Put them in your pocket until you get home, then leave them at home.
do you sit on your coins - you know how bad that is for your hips/spine ?
I've got a Fox leather one, it still looks new and must be 8 years old.
Coins go in back pocket. I hate having large objects in my pockets, so a big fat wallet with half a lb of change in it is a big no.
jimi
oh coins = purse.
Paul Smith with a naked lady inside and bits of purple stitching
fishing around inside a wallet looking for change makes you look like an old lady paying for a packet of mints in the newsagents

Another Mulberry owner...problem getting on for nearly 15 years old but still going strong.

I am a student, notes aren't always in plentiful supply. And I don't have a cheque book...
I have one knitted from Peruvian aardvark leather that I found when tracking for Robert Falcon Scott in the Andes in 1691.
It even has a slot for an iPhone 7.
coins are ok - but you keep them loose in your pocket
"realmen" make a clinking sound as they stride about
M&S leather. Job done.
Coins go in an Oakley micro fibre bag
The Bridge (purse) here, but not for biking. It cost more than I've ever had in it. Thank you, Dearest! 🙂

Australian Kangaroo scrotum leather pouch.
Seriously - works a treat.
LOLs at the change etiqutte on here. Tools!
I lord it up by throwing all my change into the streets
I made a duct tape wallet, just died after three years use. I leave coins (small ones) in small piles on top of things.
You carry cash? How quaint? Ted Baker wallet for the gold cards here. Or my dole cheque. Both fit snugly 😉
I'm very disappointed no one has admitted to using the free wallet out of MBUK.
binners I hope you don't lower yourself down to my level by actually carrying your wallet - you get your man servant to do it for you right?
And no more dole cheques for you I'm guessing 😉
Another Jimi Wallet here, certainly stops me carry the crap I don't need to, bank card, driving license, and cash, job done
I was given a leather one from Debenhams a couple of years ago. Still going strong, and looks like new.
A tri-fold Quicksilver one, but the velcro's going.
Considering a Jimi, as I never carry anything except a couple of notes and a debit card. I like having change in the wallet though, as I hate having loose coins in my pocket.
A Ducti duct tape wallet, because it made me smile when I saw it.
Timberland
Unfortunately its sized for US notes so anything taller than a fiver gets munched in my pocket.
Ducti duct tape wallet. spine wore pretty quick, but used the spare bit of duct tape that came with it to reinforce the spine, and still good. love the luminous strips as well

Nice slim Italian leather wallet with money clip 🙂

I was given one of these for my 40th a few years back, a proper UK sized note one, and I love it. Use it everyday, and it's shown little sign of wear so far.

10 years old and starting to show it but, soooo good

Not sure I'd spend that on another though
Used to use an Oakley Carbon wallet, until the zip on the change pocket broke. Got fed up carrying loads of crap around so got a Jimi Wallet. Brilliant, just have the essentials now, anything else goes in the old Oakley in my courier bag. Change goes in an old drawstring sunglasses bag so I know where it all is. Worn one Jimi out and a cloth bag as well over the last four years.
a slim mulburry number, i just throw my coins at poor people
Got an leather Animal wallet that was a £25 impulse buy after the bike shop didn't have whatever I went in for. Must be about 12-15 years old now, and has been properly abused with 3 months worth of receipts being crammed in before its quarterly clearout, lots of coins and the odd resident pop rivet/bolt/inner wire crimp end keeping the coins company 🙂
Was looking to replace it for something slimmer until I realised how long I'd had it...thought I should stick with it.
Animal FullFat Wallet which I bought 14 years ago. It still looks as good as the day I bought it and is tough as old boots. A good size too. It's an old friend now..... Think I paid £20 for it? Money well spent.
Anybody that keeps coins in their wallet doesn't have a wallet, they have a purse.
That's 110% of fact.
TUMI leather wallet here. Best quality I've had.
I had a freebie Fosters one I got given years ago, lasted 15 years then I spotted a MK I Golf Gti one in John Lewis for £3 last year. That's taking no damage either.

Although having seen pics of the Paul Smith Nake lady one's I'm tempted, think I know where some of my overtime from this month may go.

This is the truth. And I'll add anything under £10 goes in the pocket the rest is for the wallet.
Change in pockets till you get home, then in the special bike savings jar. When you're in a shop waiting for change and the salesperson says "sorry, we haven't got any notes", my heart soars, and I can replace an inner tube!
10 year old Cerutti leather billfold.
I was bought a Calvin Klein billfold by my parents but (1) the Cerutti is just fine and (2) the new one is embossed with "CK" all over it, which is rather naff.
Er, you lot do know the difference between a wallet, billfold and purse, right?
Wallet = notes go in unfolded
Billfold (comes in bi- and tri- flavours) = notes folded
Purse = what old ladies rummage through for 50 pence pieces to give to their snotty grandchildren
My wallet lives in my bag* through the week, as it travels to and from work with me on my bike, so it needs a space for my coins.
*A manly rucsac, not a handbag. Although I do like the look of the [url= http://www.rapha.cc/bonk-bag-1 ]Rapha Bonk bag[/url].
I may regret posting mine but I have a Paul Smith something or other.
I literally went into the shop, picked one I like and bought it (for £120 🙁 )

I do like the wallet shame it cant hold much cash, (I bought a new bike with cash over the weekend and managed to just get a free tube) 🙂
I have a Camel leather wallet holds 8 cards couple of paper money sections etc. Worn well as its over 10 yrs old and looks almost new.
a jimi

2 years old, no sign of wearing out yet, if it dies i will buy another. i very much appreciate the way it forces me to travel light.
I've got a Jimi for when I'm out on my bike but for everyday use I have an All-Ett Wallet - billed (pardon the pun) as the world's thinnest inside ID wallet.

Next time you're travelling on a short journey by train, use the self service ticket machine, and use the biggest note you have. They don't give out notes, I ended up carrying around £18 worth of £1 coins once.
Some leather Billabong thing. Rarely use it though - usually just carry cards, notes and change in my pockets.
Bought a jimi for commuting, found I use it all the time now. Pay for virtually everything with debit card now anyway, so coins are'nt much of an issue.
All-ett billfold for me, really clever thin design...

I've got one of these Paul Smith ones:

too small really but I like it.
Coins notes and cards all in the back pocket, I sometimes wrap the notes around the cards to keep things tidy.
Most of my cards are bent or cracked from sitting on them 🙁
Cheap M and S thing for everyday, and a Paul Smith one for when I don't need a months worth of expenses receipts in it.
Have just followed one of those links above to the PS site. Flipping Eck they're expensive, no wonder my missus was so annoyed when she thought I'd lost the one she gave me! Another case of wallet worth more than contents!
You carry cash? How quaint?
What do you use to tip your driver then?
A cheap DKNY one, its funny i just had to have a look in my pocket to see what brand it was. It doesn't see much daylight if i can help it.
Any change goes in back pocket
a Tony Perotti one and i eat my change.
