Sadly, my first wallet which was almost identical to this one was stolen....I think I was more upset about losing my cherished wallet than I was about the cards, license, and cash in it. I was so happy to see that I could replace it! My original was at least 5 years old and had held up very well. Its unusual and very functional. Great craftsmanship!
