I travel internationally at least once a month.
First the bads: The leather seems a little fragile-thin and with tiny wholes at some areas. But I believe it will last for years if you treat your stuff with care. However, I am not sure it will endure if you use it as your everyday wallet. Also, the die came off and stained the packaging of the product. I am glad it happened before I actually used it. I washed and waxed it using leather-shoe products and this seemed to work. It now has a nicer brownish color instead of redish, it won't stain my documents, and feels soft.
Now the goods: This thing is awesome. I like that it is big enough to hold immigration forms, pen, visas, cash, passports, foreign drivers license, and foreign credit cards. It is very organized. The outside pocket is great too specially while you are going through immigration and customs because of the pressure of having everything readily available. It also fits several passports. This is great because I trust myself more than I trust my wife with important documents. The size is big enough to fit the stuff, but small enough to fit the front pocket of my bag. It would not fit in your jacket's inner pocket.
Overall, I wanted to buy this until I can afford a nicer one. I no longer feel I need a nicer one.
