This leather can develop a very attractive worn' look with age but many people like to have completely unblemished calfskin leather wallets that they only use for best'.
* Pigskin Leather this type of leather is resilient to scratches and abrasions and is hard wearing. It is not as soft as calfskin but makes a great everyday leather wallet.
* Nubuck this is a luxury leather made from cattle and has a smooth and soft surface. Nubuck has a wonderfully velvety feel which is surprisingly tough and resistant to wear. Nubuck is commonly used by designer brands that provide practical day wear lines.
There are also a number of wallets that have leather finishes'. This is when regular cattle or pig leather is made to look like a more exotic option.
