Review on Bosca 12 Pocket Credit Wallet: Sleek Black Men's Accessories for Organized Style by Robert Hines

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far promising - this wallet has held up

The best wallet I've ever had was a Gold Pheil I bought from Malm Luggage in San Francisco, CA over 30 years ago. Yes folks, this German made leather wallet was awesome, as was the $100+ price tag at the time, but it was worth it. When my Gold Pheil finally broke about five years ago, I tried to buy another one but to no avail as the Gold Pheil is no longer imported and the Malm cases have not existed since 2012. So I bought a Hartmann purse, made by the same people who make luggage. Well, let me tell you that not only was the Hartmann expensive, a little over $100 five years ago, it didn't last very long either. The main problem was the separation of the leather and the faux viscose or whatever the lining was. I suspect the problem was in the quality of the stitching. And the liner is also torn. When I saw this Bosca Old Leather 12 Pocket Credit Wallet and read the reviews I decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. Not only is the wallet roomy for all my credit cards and other items I carry in my wallet (actually, the wallet is in my back pocket), but the design lives up to the hype (so far). The quality of the leather, although not as good as the German Gold Pheil, seems good enough at this point, six months later, to last quite a while. In fact, I like the quality of this wallet so much, both the leather and the build quality, I've bought a second one (before Bosca makes the line cheaper, which I don't know, but I'll have a backup of the ongoing production on the day of the first one uselessness). Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others. Don't pay attention to the price, if there is quality, it will be profitable! Four stars for now because I haven't had this wallet that long but so far so good. If I'm still using this wallet after more than five years, I'll upgrade it to 5 stars.
