Not just leather it has to be "naked leather" aka full grain will never buy another wallet unless it is naked leather.
For those that don't know grades of leather it is leather that is not sanded done. If the cow had a scar it will show on the leather.
It is the minalmal amount of work done to the leather. It is the toughest.

Full-Naked Cowhide Leather
Full-Naked cow is a premium soft leather that looks and feels natural to the touch. They are made from full grain leather hides and are not grain corrected. Therefore they need to be hand selected for uniformity and only the highest quality hides can be used to make naked leather products. However, since there is no grain correction, they still have their natural markings. They are not defect free, but they do have fewer imperfections. Full-naked leather has been dyed, but no other treatments or finishes are applied. Other leathers are corrected by sanding etc to remove the imperfections.
