It's a wallet. Let's be fair. A black leather wallet at a business event looks better (for awhile) than this wallet does new. It also doesn't magically make cash appear. So I'm hard pressed to give it Five stars. That said, it's better looking than I thought it would be and, happily, isn't equipped with Velcro. Something about opening Velcro to pull out your ID, cash or credit cards that just cheapens the whole experience of being an adult - thank you Hempy's for avoiding that!

So here's the list:

The Good:
* No Velcro!
* Durable Hemp - though I haven't owned it for long it looks like it will age fairly well
* Well constructed. No loose seams, no loose threads, no gaps or missed stitching.
* It flexes a bit in the pocket, depending on what's in it - so it doesn't retain that 'Fat Wallet' look after you take bulky things out of it, but since it's fabric it seems to accommodate a lot. I have had my ID, several Credit/Debit, Medical cards, gift cards, business cards and cash in it. Immediately after removing the unnecessary cards (and/or spending my cash) it went back to it's nice compact flat shape and size.
* Because of the 'knubby' texture it stays put in pockets other wallets would just slide around in, or even slide out of.

The Bad:
* Not a huge issue - but it has the plastic/vinyl window for the ID's/photos. As good as it is - it will doubtfully last nearly as long as the wallet or the newer screen/net style windows that seem more durable.
* Another not so huge issue - the center portion for ID/Photos (with the Vinyl windows on each side) is a flap that's sewn in place. While this is great as you won't lose your ID, it just seems odd to me. I'm getting accustomed to it though - and it's definitely not a deal killer

There's a certain look about this wallet that just seems to say, "I'm an honest, hard working wallet who doesn't need to be flashy and I'm proud of that."
