I got this as a gift for my son who loves this style of wallet, and I have to say I was very surprised by the quality of this when it arrived. The chain was a nice heavy gauge, not the cheap lightwieght stuff that you sometimes find put on these kinds of wallets and the leather was also firmer than I was expecting. It wasn't flimsy in the slightest and the even the threading was heavy duty, which is a plus because my son isn't exactly easy on his wallets. They have to be able to hold up and this one, I have no doubt will do just that. Even the belt loop was well made, being a slightly wider loop than the skinny one's that end up wearing out and completely killing the entire purpose of the chain. The snaps are a bit hard to close, but not to a point that it will cause any concern of tearing from opening or closing.

Don't be discouraged by the fact that it's so stiff when it arrives and the fact that you may find it a bit snug to fit all your cards and stuff inside because it will soften up and when it does, you'll have a well broken in wallet that will not fall apart easily. I'm very glad that I bought this and so is my son.
