Had to retire an old friend today

[johnniecakes]

I have been using this wallet for at least 15 years now. But it has worn and deteriorated enough that it is time to replace it. Not trying to rattle anyone's cage, just noting the passing of an era. (The wheel bag is in great condition though)

what are you going to get? My leather wallet is possibly 30 years old. It's still in relatively good shape, but I want a new one.

I just took the garbage out and ate some toast.

I recently retired a cheap leather wallet after 10 years. Got a beautiful new one from Leather Works Minnesota

I'm still using a Bosca from the early 80's
Its a bi-fold that holds the credit cards vertically. Could never find a suitable replacement as all bo-folds I've seen hold the cards horizontally.
The Leather Works Minnesota Capital looks like a good replacement for me (thanks for that suggestion), but holds 6 cards.

It's been replaced by an identical black one. I like this type, it's a very efficient design and suits my needs.

I like these. Usually they last at least 5 years.

Really like my Big Skinny wallet- the lack of bulk makes it easier to put in a big bag

Still going strong, although certainly less abuse than a wallet.

Thank god it’s just your wallet...post title had me working up condolences for a dog! Ow, where are my tissues?

Just a few months ago I retired my long-serving Amity leather wallet. I got it some time in high school, not sure exactly when, but that means I'd been using it since before 1979. I think that qualifies as well-worn.

Ha ha. Yep, confused this with Facebook for a moment there too.

Care to see what I had for supper?

Oh man if I could find one of these for sale I would do my happy dance.

I've got that same exact wallet and its still going strong...used to work for USPS so got it that way...think I still have a banner made from the same material with the same logo on it buried in the closet or shed etc...
