I bought this wallet for my significent other about a year ago and so far its been holding up pretty well. None of stitchings outside have come out and it is so smooth to the touch for leather. ( usually some leather I've been in contact with feels a little rough) after some use it does get some rough looking spots around the creases and corners but that's with any wallet after taking out and back into the pocket. The only stitching that is just starting to come come out is the pocket in the inside. Overall, this is a buy I do not regret. Well worth buying.
