    Highly recommended.

    I received my tobacco tint Saddleback Passport Wallet this morning and it's my second Saddleback product. I have to fly international routes a lot so I regularly carry a passport. This is the first passport wallet I've ever had that would be suitable as a daily use wallet, and I won't name the brands but I've had a lot of passport wallets in the past, both leather and nylon, at prices ranging from cheap to hideously expensive. Most of them are pretty awful. The Saddleback Passport Wallet, loaded with 6 cards, some cash, and my double thickness highly inflexible 52 page passport, is only approximately an inch thick overall and it is still comfortable to sit on. Without the passport in place, it is as comfortable to sit on as the Saddleback Large Bifold. I would recommend Saddleback's passport wallet to anyone who needs to carry a passport regularly. I haven't tried it in a pair of dress pants yet, but it does not stick out the top of the back pocket of a pair of Levi's 517's. After trying the two big Saddlebacks, I am never going to go back to a "normal size" wallet again.

    A note about the leather quality

    I wrote a more detailed review, but wanted to make a note about the leather quality, to address one of the earlier reviews. The leather on mine (coffee) is very thick and smooth -- it's just as nice and just as thick as the leather on my satchel and other SB stuff. I would suppose leather has natural differences in texture, but I don't see any sign that they are skimping with this product -- it's wonderful leather.

    Excellent for travel and daily use

    I use this as my full-time wallet, whether or not I'm carrying my passport. It has a great size, slim and not too heavy. It won't hold a billion cards, but I wanted to pare things down a little anyway. It does just fine with a reasonable number -- 8-10 credit-type cards, plus a few business cards tucked in. The outside pocket is great for receipts. It will hold 2-3 passports easily -- you could add more, but it would take a bit of time for the leather to stretch so they'd fit comfortably. I use it for my passport and my son's -- my husband wanted his own wallet. :) I put blank 3x5 cards in that section when I'm not carrying my passport. I can also fit a Midori "passport"-sized notebook (the refill that goes into the Midori Traveler's Notebook) in there very neatly. There's no pen loop, though, and there's not a good way to attach one that I can see. I love that you can get any kind of currency into the bill area. I travel enough internationally that I like not having to have a separate wallet when I go overseas. Doesn't hold coins (I got a SB coin purse too, and mighty nice it is). For currencies with high-value coins (EU, Canada, etc.) that might be a downside. One oddity -- I got the coffee because I wanted the lighter pigskin lining, I thought that would look cool. (Kind of a "black and tan" thing going.) But this wallet doesn't seem to have any pigskin -- at least, there's no lighter colored anything on the wallet. So maybe I got old stock, or maybe the design just doesn't have pigskin. It's awesome either way and I'm happy with the coffee color, it's very classic. It's bulletproof, of course, and I like the RFID shield, esp. as I have a Global Entry card. It will last forever, of course. It's beautiful, of course.

    Not the same quality leather as before

    I ordered two wallets and a belt back in 2012 and loved the quality of the product and especially the Dark Coffee Brown leather. Just received this passport wallet as a gift after talking about how much I liked the Saddleback products I already own. I'd love to say I love this product as much as the others I own, but the leather quality is different. The previous products had leather that felt thicker and was smooth. The leather on this feels thinner and has the feel and texture of a vinyl checkbook cover. The pigskin interior is also different, only one side contains pigskin, the other side is raw leather and is of lower quality than my other products. The stitching is the same high quality with no defects, but due to the lower grade of the leather, it doesn't have the same quality feel as the other Saddleback products I own. The picture shows the previous leather version used in the other products I have, but I don't feel it accurately represents the leather in the current version I received.

    Solid but not as nice as the one I bought last year

    I love Saddleback. I love the company culture and they definitely know how to build brand loyalty. But here's the thing- I bought three passport wallets (one for me, two as gifts) last year and they were tough, stylish and robust. Then I bought another one a month ago for another overseas trip and it wasn't nearly as thick or solid-feeling. The stitching was good, the design was the same, but the actual leather seems thinner and more synthetic-feeling. Not sure why it changed over the past year, but I'm definitely a little less enthusiastic to place my order for the Classic Briefcase if it's not going to be as awesome as the circa 2012 Messenger Bag I've been carrying thus far. I own multiple ipad, iphone, and other goodies from SBL and I hope my latest purchase is a fluke. It wasn't a Dave's Deal or anything.
