Wallet recommendations (sopuli.xyz)

I usually just buy a leather wallet at some store and it starts to get grungy after a year or so. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I like Slimfold wallets. They are thinner than your standard leather wallets and are more of a "front pocket" wallet. They have different configurations and materials. They come in tyvek or soft shell material.

I have the "Original" in tyvek. Used it for close to a decade and it held up great. I switched over to the "Micro" in soft shell just because I wanted something new. Had it for 2-3 years now and no complaints. They've both been great. Personally I like the Original more because it's slimmer, I could put it behind my phone in my pocket and not even feel that it was there. The Micro is more of a traditional wallet shape, so it feels a tad thicker. After trying both I like the soft shell material more than tyvek.
