I can't urge you enough not to spend too much $$$ on a wallet. Here's why.
Over the last month, I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.
Here's how the scam works:
Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come over to your car or truck as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts (It's impossible not to look). When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's. You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also May 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 24th & and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for $.99 at the 99 cent store and bought them out in three of their stores.
Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from Lowe's, to Home Depot, to Costco, Etc.
Please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.)

If you want durability don't get leather instead get a stingray wallet. Make sure you get the real thing and not a fake!

Just make one out of duct tape. They even have NFL team duct tape now.
I bought a VanHuesen wallet that fell apart quick. Had a columbia wallet that did the same thing. Won a wallet playing bingo when I was stationed in Qatar that is still holding up, but its just too big.
Duct tape wallet never failed me. Actually I think Im gonna make another one. Just black though.
Actually I lied. They have MLB Duct tape as well. In a few weeks time I will the proud owner of a baltimore orioles duct tape wallet.

I find that wallets are rather impractical. I saw many people dropped their cards out of their wallet. I have to pick the cards from the floor and give the cards to the owners who just dropped the cards from their wallets.
I keep my bank cards and travelling card in silicone luggage tags and tie them on my lanyard together with my keys, so I will never drop the cards because they are securely held by the luggage tags which are securely looped on my lanyard.

I've been using a Money Clamp for over 10 years, instead of a more traditional wallet. It forces me to limit what to carry, and fits in my front pocket.
I use a mini wallet, mainly for cards and a few folded biils.

I used to use a hard-body small wallet but if it fell down, it would open and spill. This one is zippered.

Just get a cordovan wallet with a zipper. Duh.
BTW cordovan is a particular leather type, ie it is the material used.
Buy vegan leather products.

Uummm... the OP said "durability".
Yeah they are still not there in terms of durability.
Vegan leather and its different types do not have the same durability. They can potentially last for one-half to one-third the lifespan of genuine leather. PU and PVC leather last about two to five years, before showing signs of wear and tear.
