Outstanding Quality & Value!
January 29, 2018
Once upon a time I had leather, long-fold passport / boarding pass / wallet that cost me an arm and a leg. That thing was a little "too much", because it was so massive and sooo thick that I had trouble fitting it into jacket pockets and it wouldn't bend even the tiniest to conform to the shape of my massive, chiseled, rock hard pectorals*. I lost it in a recent house fire . . . I never realized how inconvenient those shortcomings were, until I found this as a replacement.
The buttery leather is much more beautiful than what one would ever expect for $25, and the stitching is absolutely top notch. When empty, it is rather floppy, but soon becomes a perfect combination of firm and giving when loaded with just a few items - Even with just my passport, and credit cards.
It comes in a nice, fuzzy kind of a felt bag (I'm not a clothologist, so I'm sure someone else has a better description of it in their review), with a little leather label sewn into one side, which reminds me of other leather goods I've purchased that includes a material sample. The bag has a string pull closure, to protect and store the wallet. This is a small, but much appreciated bonus, because I would like it to stay beautiful during those times that I am not flying around the world in my private jet**, seducing beautiful super models***.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was made in Ukraine. I would much rather support an ally, still figuring out how to fit in to their place in the democratic world, than another country whose name is synonymous with shoddy goods and underpaid labor****.
I love this wallet so much, I've ordered one for my mom, and every motor vehicle I own, as a better way to carry license, registration and insurance documents.
You won't be disappointed.

Looks great but has design flaws
February 10, 2019
The wallet looks great and appears to be of good quality.
However, it has 2 design flaws that would not make me buy it again.
1. It is too small. A folded letter (eg. confirmation) will stick out.
2. The elastic band used to keep the wallet closed is anchored inside the passport pouch. This makes it hard to insert the passport as it bumps up against the anchor. I pulled out the anchor in the attached picture so you can get a sense.

I rather like this style passport 'n' more wallet. It's very ... raw. That's not the right word, but it's the word that comes to mind right now.
It hold everything you need, a passport (or two if you shove and/or remove the elastic lump), ID, some money, & business cards.
There isn't any RFID blocking, so if you keep your passport or other items with RFID chips in this, you may want to put them in RFID sleeves. But those are cheap.
The main thing I would change is the elastic that goes around it to keep it closed. It's sewn together in a little lump that is on the inside under the passport area. You don't always catch on it, but you do sometimes. However, I modified mine with a thin cut leather strip to replace it. I tried to cut a ¼" strap in half, didn't quite get half, but ended up using the thinner half. Now it feels great. The photos show 2 different styles of using it.
I hope they come up with a better idea than the lump, but if not, the leather idea is easy to do.
I'd buy it again.

I've never used a travel wallet and usually carry my money clip when I travel internationally, but for my upcoming trip to Italy I decided to buy one of these travel wallets. I have to say I am so impressed with the quality of this wallet given the good price. The wallet has more than enough room for my passport and travel documents and a good amount of credit cards. The leather is surprisingly supple and actually beautiful. I'm so glad I decided to give a travel wallet a try and glad that I choose this seller and wallet. Can't wait to take out my US$ and put some Euros in this wallet! You won't be disappointed if you buy this wallet.

Very nice travel wallet! The reason I am giving it 4 stars is because of the black dye transfer. It scuffed a few of my paper items I placed in it.

I needed a wallet like this to carry boarding passes, tickets, etc. while in New York and this was perfect! Well made and stylish. It helped me keep everything organized and for that, I was very thankful.

Great replacement for my very old Cathay Pacific leather ticket and passport holder that finally fell apart after 45 years of travel. This one should last at least that long! Thank you for this great product. Well made!

it’s too tight, putting the passport or a card in their respective sleeve/pocket takes an “effort” and i mean a lot.... of effort
March 2, 2018
The quality feels and looks nice, but so many design choices are strange/wrong that render this passport wallet / ticket holder useless to me. First, the compartment for the passport is too tight. If it had been 1/16 of an inch wider, it would have been perfect. As is, it is difficult to put a single passport in, let alone 2 of them. You can also forget about putting any passports with a protective sleeve, as it makes them wider than the compartment (too narrow). They also decided, for some strange reason, to add tiny slits for storing stubs and stuff right in the same passport compartment. Because of these slits, and because of the narrowness of the passport sleeve, every time, and I mean every single time you try to slide a passport in gets caught in these slits, forcing you to pull it out to then push it again while being careful not to let the passport edges get caught again. I wish I were done, but I'm not. If you make it past the ridiculously narrow sleeve and the slits of doom, you are not yet home free, since the designers also decided to further hamper your efforts by placing a square peg/retainer for the elastic right inside the passport compartment. This means that when you slide the passport in it pushes against the square tab and gets caught against it, making it impossible to simply slide it all the way in. You now have to pull it out partially (but not too much or it will get caught in the slits of doom) and then manually flatten the square peg so you can then slide the passport above it all the way in. WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE SO DIFFICULT TO STORE MY PASSPORT? I hate this wallet.
