Not sure that's one of those things I usually ask for as a gift don't think I've ever bought myself a wallet. No way a wallet would last me anywhere near 20 years I would guess about 5 years.

Quite some time, 15-20 years, probably. It was a gift and it has held up much better than any other wallet that I can remember.

I switch out about every year. I have a wallet style that I like so when I buy them I usually buy two or three at a time. They are not leather but made with an RFID blocking material so they don't hold up as well as leather but are less expensive.

17 years on mine. But I hardly carry it. I generally keep it in my work bag and keep my credit cards and money in my front pocket anyways

I just bought a new wallet last month on Amazon. I had my previous one about 10 years. The zipper was coming undone under use but since it was the longest lasting wallet I ever had I bought the same brand and design.

For travel in Europe I bought a thin, front pocket wallet last September. Was advised to watch out for pick pockets in the airports...

My wife actually found a very accurate reproduction of the one below and almost bought it for me for my birthday, but they were out of them when she went to order I would totally carry it

Current wallet is less than 10 years old. Fairly thin/small with a metal money clip thing to hold bills.
