It's time for a new wallet and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions of a well-made, leather bifold. I don't mind spending close to 100 USD if it'll last me 5 or more years. I'm sure ripster has something pretty nice... right?

Check out Saddleback Leather. I have a front-pocket wallet of there's that is the best I've ever owned. They also have some awesome laptop cases as well.

I have a J Crew leather bi-fold with a clip inside...couldn't be happier with it. It was a Christmas gift.

100 year warranty sounds promising.

For that amount of money I'd rather have a nice hand made wallet via etsy or ebay. The sellers will often do custom stuff as well. Something like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/280854585790) would fit the bill (SNERK) nicely.

I had their FP wallet in black, got it as a gift. Took a small mental adjustment at first, but it turned out to be the best I've ever used. I thought it would hold only 4 cards and a little cash, but it held plenty more when I needed it to, and it's small (I hate things in my pockets, and that's weird, I know). It had been SOAKED in beer many times. When I lost it, I ran out and grabbed a wallet that looks like it, but doesn't fit the bill unfortunately. It does't have the feel, and doesn't "hold" things as well. It's looking bad after a year and a half, so getting another Saddleback :)

I think ill be going with a medium saddleback bifold. Hopefully its not too thick for my taste.

You might try those plastic-film wallets-- they're dirt cheap (like 10 USD) and indestructible. I bought one as a lark a while ago because it was done in a design of a favourite banknote, but the print quality was disappointing.

Saddleback: It'll be kinda stiff and inflexible at first, can be a bit of a pain, but it slowly 'eases up'.

The paper one is made of TYVEK so it lasts for a long time.

Just ordered one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZO3592/ref=s9_simh_gw_p193_d0_g193_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1CZ9X92TB3NMEM8VSYX5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846)

Great looking wallets, but it's a real bummer so few have a change compartment. Or space for more than 4 credit cards. I agree about buying from Etsy though – if you're already willing to spend $100, you might as well go the extra mile and have something that's custom made.

My favorite wallet.

I've been using a tula wallet for what seems like forever, was looking to replace it a while back with a bridge wallet. But the tula just lasts and lasts.
