I am a front pocket wallet guy. Saddleback to be precise. No cash, just cards and ID. Wallet and a Swiss Army Tinker knife in the front left, cash or a 380 in the front right (when the 380 goes in the right the cash goes in the left).
Funny Saddleback now calls it a business card holder but when I bought it 6 years ago it was a wallet lol.
If leather, Saddleback. But my EDC is a Spec-Ops Brand. It is 10 years old and still going strong. Two sizes. And it has two ID windows. USA made and lifetime warranty.

My wife bought me a Johnston and Murphy’s probably 15 years ago and it’s still in great shape despite being made of super soft and supple leather. I don’t like tri-folds because they end up being too thick. Plenty to choose from.

Coach in Bison leather is tough to beat.
+2 on Coach.

Saddleback leather. There is a good reason I am like the 4th or 5th to recommend one. Mine is a few years old and still in amazing shape.
I also have a briefcase and portfolio from Saddleback. Their stuff is excellent!
Do, Or do not. There is no try.

If you can’t find what you want and are interested in a custom order feel free to email me. I’m at 10-12 weeks on bags but I can work a wallet in at 3-4 weeks.

I don’t think Coach makes a Bison wallet. I know mine is water buffalo and over 10 years old and a great wallet. They have ID panel wallets available but not sure in the water buffalo but calf leather.

I have to vote Coach as well.
The one I am using is at least 5 years old and is in 99% condition.
I've had a Duluth Trading Fire Hose wallet for nearly 6 years. It's damn tough and comfortable to boot. No link but even a child can Google Duluth Trading.

I’m sure I’ll catch hell for it, but Louis Vuitton. My wife bought me one when we first got together in 2004. I used it everyday and it still looks as good as new. She bought me one of their Leather ones about five years ago. It is a great wallet, but doesn’t fit my front pocket as well as the original one she bought me. So back to the original I went.
I’ve got well over ten years in this wallet. It’s a coated canvas and leather, and thus far is pretty indestructible.

What pants you wear makes a difference. For me, I wear 5.11 Taclite shorts and pants 95% of the time, my wallet is a Saddleback Front Pocket. It's held up great, I don't take it out when hiking and never know it's there.

I’ve abandoned regular wallets and carry cards and ID’s in a MagPul wallet like this:

I’ve gone the opposite direction and usually spend like $10 to get one at Marshall’s or tj maxx. Lasts a couple years at least, if not more. I usually get a Ben Sherman branded one. It may be more cost effective in the long run to spend 10x more for quality but my tastes change and I like being able to get something slightly different when I want to do so.This message has been edited.
