This compact wallet is made of beautiful and durable leather that is pleasant to the touch and easy to knead. The edges are stitched and taped with a smooth finish and it looks like it will last. The pull strap is an ingenious feature that gives you quick and easy access to maps in your back pocket. The "tongue" of the strap on mine is better than the picture because they sewed on a piece of black leather to match the wallet (instead of using the same material as the strap). The money pocket is perfect for folded bills, which I prefer to large bill slots (or bulky hard-edged money clips) on other wallets. Plus RFID blocking! It's everything I wanted and more, in a little wrinkle. KORE really surpassed that!
