I’m shopping for a new wallet. What’s yours?

The less other's actually see my wallet the better, so fashion is a low priority for me. I want leather, decent build quality and stitching, slender to carry cash and a few cards only. My current one is JM (Johnston Murphy). I think it was $40 and seems to be holding up well.

I got my new wallet today to replace my old Bando 2. The Bando was a decent little minimalist wallet. The Bando is definitely great value. But I wanted something more and less. I want my wallet to be as thin as possible in my pocket. I carry 9 plastic cards and 2 small, thin pieces of paper the size of cards. Yeah, I know a bunch of you guys have the card carrying pared down to one or two or three cards. I've pared mine down as far as I care to go. The only thickness that this wallet adds is 4 thicknesses of leather. It looks great, and gives good access to what I need.

I got the Open Seas Topsider LT.

The Topsider LT is ~1/4" thick when empty compared to the Bando 2 being ½" thick when empty, so this is a big improvement. Full, the topsider is only barely (<0.1") thicker than the empty bando.

You get to pick from a slew of colors for the leather and the stitching.

The "quick access slot" in the back is optional. I opted for it. I'm not sure if I'm going to use it or not. So far, "not", but we'll see.

That stitching is awful.
I’d be ashamed to ask $79 for something that looks that bad.
