Just giving you guys some shit. I've used it a few times, it's in a drawer. I don't carry a wallet anymore, since there's no need. That's the problem I pointed out earlier. Some things I thought would be end of life, because they are well made, will be end of life because they've been supplanted by something else. I wear my "nice" watch to weddings and funerals for example.
Yep
It is a little yuge— fits all sorts of currencies...freedom bills feel small in there
tho the photo is fairly foreshortened
Go on, admit it. It's a man purse.
Give it a year or two. I've had the small bifold in chestnut for maybe 7 years now and it looks infinitely better than it did when it was new. The finish on a brand new one is fairly matte and unremarkable, but after years in my pockets and various sorts of abuse, it's developed a nice sheen and is far softer than it was new. It's the piece of Saddleback anything that I own, but I'm a fan.
Can you slip a passport into it? Like the front cover in a flap, for when it's handy.
No, it’s not THAT yuge
ETA...well, it is about that size but no, it won’t fit inside

Big skinny wallet. Going on 10 years and mine still looks new. Hate fat wallets. Minimalism at its best.

I have a 52 year old friend who has had the same velcro nylon wallet since he was 15. Lost and found twice. The velcro doesn’t really work any more.
As a collector of vintage gear, Van's shoes, etc my experience has been that even when something's built to last a lifetime we grow tired of things. Newer designs, innovation, different features cause us to walk back that "forever" thought more often than not.
A gun and one bullet.
Buy enough "Forever" stamps and you're all set.
That’s kind of the whole point of the Bellroy. About the same size. I can’t see every day use as I’m s front pocket guy but it’s great for travel.

land. last i checked, not making more of it.
I'm 35, the only objects that I'd wager that I have (and remain functional) until I die are my cast iron skillets. One was an old one I bought at a thrift store. It's the best thing ever. The newer, larger one I sanded down until it's smooth and reseasoned, but it still isn't quite as good. Still nice though.
I'm sure some of my tools will probably make it, but i wouldn't bet on which they will be. Most are pretty cheap. If I actually wear them out then I'll consider buying better ones. I can't imagine I'd break my jack stands given their construction and how infrequently I use them, so I'll bet on them.
I can't imagine any of my wardrobe making it the hopeful 45+ years I have left, nor my shoes, though I resole the nicer ones. I also like energetic dogs. That lowers the possibility a bit.
