My husband has been needing a new wallet but he always hates the 'breaking in' period with new leather.  I read other reviews that the leather with this wallet was very soft so decided to give it a try.  I've had Timberland shoes in the past and they were really high quality and wanted a trusted brand that I hoped would last.  I was very happy when I received this that it's true to the hype.  The wallet is buttery soft and looks great.  I can't wait to give this to my husband for Valentine's Day.
