John Lobb Caviar Billfold Wallet. Quality of leather is very good (as they're excellent shoe makers, and have access to great leather), and the finishing (like the stitching and burnishing) is well done. I believe they are owned by Hermes.

How did you decide which credit cards to carry? What was your criteria? Thanks in advance.
I carry my driver's license, a debit card, and a credit card. My insurance cards are small pieces of paper, so I don't count those. They hardly take up any space. What made it possible are 1) Google pay, and 2) the realization that I can stash cards where they'll be used. So my phone has multiple cards saved to it and I stash my only-for-refueling card in my car. Wasn't feasible until a year ago.

I carry my govt access card separately so that I don't accidentally take it places where it's not needed. Work badge is too bulky for any wallet, so it just goes in my pocket or bag.

The only credit card I carry is the one I know I need day to day. The cafeteria at work only supports card swipes, for example. It also covers the few random things I can't use my phone to pay for.

If I need, say, my PP card because I'm traveling, that goes in my carry-on.

I would urge you to reconsider carrying around that many cards, though. I used to, but now I carry three with no problem.
Three cards? Not possible for me. Driver's license, health card, gun license, one ATM card and two credit cards (business and personal) would be the absolute minimum when at home. On the road added to the aforementioned would be would be supplementary insurance card, second credit card and Aeroplan card. A third credit card and second ATM card would be back in my hotel safe.

I’ve got two Louis Vuitton wallets that I carry, depending on the occasion. One is a regular, plush leather wallet for the back pocket. The other is of a canvas style that can hold 3-4 cards or so and goes in my front pocket.
