Have had the wallet for 5 or 6 years, I am 77 and not counting. Anyway when I first bought it I applied Obenaufs HD preservative to it and went on to abuse the hell out of it....overstuffing, washing with jeans once or twice, you get the picture. Checked the web site today out of curiosity and thought I share my thoughts. Definitely would buy another one but no use to.....Jim Osekowsky.
