It is a very nice wallet with no visible defects.  Albiet, it does have a very strong smell of G-L-U-E.  Hopefully, it will dissipate in several days, if not I will decide what to do with it then.  I can assure you, it does not smell like a deerskin wallet from Cabella's or a calfskin wallet from Nordstrom's, both of which smell like animal skin's and not a glue pot.  Unfortunately, it has the same glue smell that permeates a large number of products coming out of China.
