Washington Irving's Life of George Washington (published in five volumes in 1856-59) was the product of his last years and remains his most personal work. Christened with the name of the great general, Irving was blessed by Washington while still a boy of seven, and later came to know many of the prominent figures of the Revolution. In these pages he describes them using firsthand source material and observation. The result is a book which is fascinating not only for its subject (the American Revolution), but also for how it reveals in illuminating detail the personality and humanity of a now remote, towering icon. Here is an intimate portrait of Washington the man, from Virginia youth to colonial commander to commander-in-chief of the patriot army to first president and great guiding force of the American federation. But one cannot read Irving's Life without marveling at the supreme art behind it, for his biography is foremost a work of literature. Charles Neider's abridgment and editing of Irving's long out-of-print classic has created a literary work comparable in importance and elegance to the original. George Washington, A Biography, Neider's title for his edition of Irving's Life, makes the work accessible to modern audiences. The extensive introduction provides a detailed analysis of Irving's life and times, and the difficulties he faced as he worked against his own failing health to finish what he felt was his masterpiece. This new edition of the superb biography of America's first citizen by America's first literary artist remains as fresh and unique today as when it was penned.

Soft Leather. Fits all my cards.
Color: Ingram Brown
I like the feel of the leather and it’s wearing in nicely. Some of the stitching on the inner liner has worn after taking cards in and out. Happy so far with my purchase.

Look nice
Color: Hayes Brown, Color: Hayes Brown
“I recently purchased a Fossil wallet, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The leather feels premium and durable, and the stitching is precise, adding to its overall quality. It’s the perfect size to fit in my pocket comfortably while still offering plenty of room for cards, cash, and even coins. I love the sleek and timeless design that matches both casual and formal outfits. Fossil truly delivers on craftsmanship and style. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish wallet!”

Buy it, will not be sorry
Color: Ingram Brown
Had previously ordered a Dockers Trifold after having two in the past, it fell apart within a couple weeks. This Fossil wallet, on the other hand, is VERY nice. Very happy with my new wallet, worth the extra $15-20

Only wallet I've owned for 40+ years, I expect this 3rd one to last another 20 years
Color: Ingram Brown
This is the second wallet I ever bought after the original wallet given to me by my father wore out. I love the trifold wallet and this one has been perfect for me. It's made of all leather which is key to long life. All my wrangler jeans have a faded outline on the right front pocket where I carry it. It has multiple slips for my many credit cards, grocery reward cards, insurance cards, business cards, driver license and passport card. There are some pockets behind those for my library card (I seldom need it since I know the number by heart) and my America the Beautiful pass which I only need when I visit a national park. The only complaint still remains from the first version and is that the pockets are about 1 mm to skinny on a new wallet. Maybe that's a good thing so everything doesn't fall out when I open it up to use it. I'm highly partial and highly surprised this wallet is still being made. I'm looking forward to buying another one in 20 years.
