Kattee Men's Vintage Look Genuine Leather Long Bifold Wallet (Large, Brown)

As a quick aside, I wanted to say I received the following item via Amazon Locker which I have been using for many years now, and the service is outstanding. I just love the versatility of picking up most packages from Amazon on MY SCHEDULE, MY TIME and not having to wait around for a delivery person. So, that's just a quick plug and 5 STARS for Amazon thinking outside the box and offering this service (and useful for RETURNS, TOO!) Anyway, I wanted to replace my aging leather checkbook that I've had for maybe about 20+ years now (see pictured attached). While, it is still functional and not falling apart, but has some cracks in the spine, I still wanted a new one. I decided to get the Kattee after browsing and looking at about a dozen or so checkbooks on Amazon. The prerequisite for me was definitely something leather and a brownish color. I didn't anticipate the additional features these new checkbook wallets come with money pockets, a pocket with a zipper, ID card slot and credit / debit card slots which are pluses and icing on the cake. The feel and craftsmanship of the leather is feels and is quite nice (though I'm not an authority of leather grades and such), but there was some subtle scuff marks for light handling; not sure what that is about. I have no card in the photo ID slot and in one of the other pocket slots which are the right standard sizes which fits perfectly snug (not too tight or too loose). While I hardly ever write checks anymore, I do still balance my checkbook with the checkbook register associated with my online banking account so that was the greatest benefit of buying this product. Of course, besides the quality of the leather, I think the other MAJOR attribute is the STITCHING! Since, I just got the item today, the stitching looks fine and no loose threads and none of the pockets are coming loose... SO FAR! Hopefully, over time the grade of this leather and stitching will last. If anything changes in weeks or months form now with the quality of the checkbook from use, I will come back and update this review with my thoughts. For now, and at this point, a HIGHLY RECOMMEND product. UPDATE [11-12-2020]: If you're using a paper checkbook register to balance your checking account with this product, when you turn the page register up to write on the next side, you have to buffer it with a small rectangle carboard flyer or something buffered inbetween because the credit card sized pockets on the upper part of this wallet are not flat and it's hard to write. After all these months, I still LOVE this checkbook wallet!

En general el producto está muy bien me gusto mucho, solo que el olor no es muy agradable ya tengo usándolo unas semanas y el olor no se le ha quitado, ademas la costura de las tarjetas que se ponen horizontales donde no está la de identificación es una costura de un solo hilo la que divide una tarjeta de la otra supongo es de donde va a fallar más rápido,

Its simple yet elegant and genuine materials

Good but could be better in this range

It's a pretty good wallet! I got the long one (large/long), and I have to say it's rather nice - especially for the price. My one and only complaint is that this wallet is not as thin as I would like. I considered altering it, but it has a zipper pocket on the inside behind one of the cash pockets; I guess it's for change or keys? It makes the wallet a little thicker - I just partially open the zipper and that helps. This wallet (the long one I got) is not ideal for jeans or very tight fitting clothing, but is perfect in relaxed gaberdine style slacks or in the pocket of an overcoat. The leather is very "leathery," very strong leather/tanning smell comes off the leather and just as the page for this wallet says you need to let it air a bit or you'll smell like leather strongly for days as it airs in your pocket. It looks nice and you can tell that it will age really well - grandpa's wallet well. It feels solid in my hand and I believe it's plenty rugged for daily use. Fun Fact: "Crazy horse Leather is this style of leather finishing. Because of this as you use it it will gradually change back to it's natural color. Also called "Apache leather," it's pretty nice to the touch and over time. A manly and adult wallet. TL;DR: it's nice, a little thick, but very nice.
