$250 for a wallet? Fuck me. That's just irresponsible spending.
I used a $30 wallet for 14 years until my wife thought it was ridiculous and bought me a new one.

I get that if you live in the US with $1 bills but in Europe the smallest bill is 5 so you always end up with a lot of change.
Seems just like a budget guideline for the OP. Kinda like when you go buy a suit. I don't think he wants a 350 dollar wallet or bust.
I'm not exaggerating when I say there is zero wear and tear on this thing, even on the plastic window.
If you're against how it looks in general I understand, but if you're really only worried about it wearing out I don't think it would be a concern with that wallet. If it started looking old I'd just buy a new one, they're only $15.
Every single wallet that I've bought meets the OP's requirements and I've never spent more than $25 for a wallet.
So my $20-30 genuine leather wallet is what... a knock-off? Not actually leather?Spending a little more is worth it. A genuine leather wallet (like the ones from Saddleback) will cost at least $50-$100, but will last pretty much forever.
That $20 wallet is going to fall apart.
I've got a single fold Coach wallet that's held up great for years. Just quality dark brown leather. It's slim too. They're probably $100 or so.
Pockets for life.
on the highly-inexpensive side of things, this one in black ran me $20 back in january of last year and it's still in perfect condition (there's a plastic insert for cards that's kinda falling apart at this point, but it's not actually part of the wallet)
I got one from here in 2013. Barely any wear or tear.I bought my dad one of these for fathers day and I got myself one of these a couple of years ago as well
I got tired of wallets falling apart

These look useful as well as stylish...and not a gaudy $350.
Awesome post right here.
I really like these. Best thing I've seen in this thread. Not as expensive as I thought it would be too
EDIT: you got me actually considering buying this to replace my minimalist wallet, lol
Yeah no problem! I love it probably best wallet I've ever owned. Here's some pics of mine.
Yeah I like some of the ones posted here, but I'm a minimalist to the core lolquite functional. putting the parliament and senate on my list, but still prefer a more interesting design.
does the flap piece detach? not feeling that if not. also, a bit too conservative. trying to do something more lively this time around.
Same. Why would you need to spend so much on a wallet?Jesus Christ. I felt guilty spending $15 on my wallet from amazon.

Ghurka, this'll last a lifetime. The one I have isn't a removable pass case, but that shouldn't be an issue.

that flap piece in pictures #4 and #5 does detach, yeah. (i think that's what you're talking about? all i know is i set it aside somewhere months ago and forgot where i put it)
and that's totally fair, i just went for this because my last wallet was some ancient hot topic shit from like 2005

Dumb name but the product is simple and works great. Have had mine for awhile now and it hasn't lost its abulity to secure. Holds my stuff better than a regular wallet and not nearly as bulky.

I don't understand why people are dropping $500 on wallets. That's nearly the value of a damned ski pass. I will take my ski passes and use a $10 wallet.
That's not nice, that's just stupid.

Gucci has some nice simplistic designs and colors. Can find some on sale or just around your $350 range. They can cost more as well so you may be limited on selections.
The leather ones hold up nice for years with a little care and dont fall apart.
Don't know if this has been posted yet but check this one out

And how long until it's supposed to fall apart? My previous one lasted about fifteen years, and it's still usable, I just felt like a change.
This is my next wallet, and is just under your budget.
I'm linking you to their Fat Herbie in the limited colors, and reverse colors, but check out the rest of their site as well.
These are just a bit funkier without being too crazy. If these are too big they have smaller types as well.

So I don't get what the issue is with wanting to spend a bit more and get something you really like.
okay. we have a gucci store at the mall next to me (http://www.simon.com/mall/town-center-at-boca-raton/stores) along with several of the other brands mentioned in here. I'll head over there now and see what's what.
interesting! but probably not available soon? will watch vid
This rationale...my $500 is more well spent than yours...
guess what when that snow melts they still have wallets and your sitting looking at your photo on your pass?
You also have a Nieman Marcus, Saks and Nordstrom's there that may carry the various designer wallets mentioned. It's possible they may have some discounted on sale if it's the right time.
Shop around!

On neogaf you're not allowed to spend money on anything other than graphics cards without being made fun of.
