“I received my current wallet from my kids about to years ago on Father’s Day. It was made from a recycled vinyl surf poster, and I just love it. The vinyl is really heavy and durable. After 24 months of abuse it still feels great. The stitching is also some sort of substantial material, and makes a bulky seal around the thing.”

“There’s a little color variation on the inside with the one blue pocket. Speaking of the interior, it’s pretty basic: two pockets on the left, two on the right and a single slot for bills.”

“Cashiers often comment on it (“Oh, that’s neat”) and it reminds me of my kids every time I pay for something. Which his usually for them anyway, so it’s only appropriate. The wallet came from a small surf shop here on Cape Cod, so I’m afraid I can’t say where to pick one up.”
