Default Need a new leather wallet. Help!

I've been limping along a moco wallet for about 3 years now and it's on its last legs. I will not buy another one. This thing started falling apart in about a year. Where's a good company online that sells real leather wallets that you've personally had experience with and can either vouch for or steer me clear of? I like the tall wallets that stick out of the pocket a bit and keep your money laid flat, not folded. Bifold or trifold, doesn't really matter. I need slots for cards inside, too. Any advice is appreciated!

I am well aware of the high quality of your stuff and very much appreciate the custom work you have done for me. That being said, I, like sixshooter would like one that has plenty of space to put cards in and I don't see that in your link. Any chances of adding a couple more card pockets? And $40.00 is a steal considering your quality work. Tired of the HD junk as well.

Good wallets are hard to find these days. I got a USA made tri-fold leather wallet with 2 heavy duty snaps and the little rivet for a chain 21 years ago for my 14th birthday. I've been carrying it since. I don't know who made it, the only markings are the Made in USA stamp on the inside. It makes those $50 MoCo wallets look like something you'd find in a Mexican flea market.

I don't live far from there, have bought jacket, boots and chaps, all great stuff. Their wallets are not all that impressive IMO. My next one will probably be from Captain Itch, especially if they will customize.

all i use is harley wallets.
i got one as a gift when and i have not been without one and i am 37.

its not that it says harley or anything like that. i usually get all black anyway.
they just hold up very well.

im particular about my wallets and they always have one that is just right.
tri fold only.
2 snaps to keep it closed.
few slots for credit cards
always comes with a chain that i always take off.

they usually last me about 3 years. i could ride it out probably another 2 but after 3 years it has some wear to it so i figure that i might as well get a new one
