Taiga wears quickly I have a few. Epi truly lasts forever. It’s amazing. Neither is supple, Epi has a nice hand though. It’s special.

The Utah is fantastic, supple leather. But not as contemporary as the other two.

Agree about Epi being a thicker leather and lasting a very, very long time.

Haha

My forever comment has been bugging me all week!

Very, very long time is much more accurate.

So you carry this in a jacket, right? Too large to put in trousers pocket?

Fits in a front pants pocket easily.. roughly 7x11 cm. only a cm or two thick

This is actually the exact reason this style is so incredibly popular with guys who know about it. It's has the function of a wallet (more than a normal card holder) while still going in your front pocket.

Thanks For everyone’s thoughts and feedback. I’ve decided to go with option number two which is a classic Epi. Now the last decision is to high color. I’m deciding between black or dark blue. I have no LV stores where I live so have not seen the dark blue but have seen the black. Please give your thoughts based on pics below. Thanks

enjoythemusic · 22 June 2018, 12:41 PM

Imho black. Goes with everything.

arinsd · 22 June 2018, 12:43 PM

black. Blue can look like faded black leather.

Laszlo · 22 June 2018, 12:45 PM

That blue looks pretty nice. My wife has that color but in a lady's bill sized wallet. It's very classy. Black though does go with everything. Just something to consider. BTW, I have that exact black wallet and it's well over 10-years old and still very, very presentable. I'm like GB with wallets... have a little collection going.

daveathall · 22 June 2018, 11:33 PM

I have something similar, it is black and blue.

Epi is my favorite leather from LV. Good choice.

dmash · 23 June 2018, 02:56 AM

I love blue everything, blue.

I have a blue wallet, a blue leather toiletry bag, blue laptop sleeve, I love the blue interior on my Rimowa luggage

I have an issue

I like those socks the best (I’m a sucker for patterned socks)

JasoninDenver · 23 June 2018, 02:10 PM
