I'm thinking of find some holders for my friends who just got their first passports. Any suggestions on where to find some nicer ones, leather?

Thanks!

I love LL Bean. They have this one:

Sorry the link is so long, I don't know how to do the little links.

I got my dad one from Bosca for his birthday because he was finishing his career with a job promotion that has him traveling across the country and throughout the world 25 weeks a year. I bought it from a specialty travel goods/leather shop at an upscale mall and they did free monograming on the front of the leather holder.

The one I got my dad was taller with a clear spot for the passport, spots for ID and credit cards, and a flap for airline tickets and also money from around the world. There were also smaller ones that that fold out to hold tickets or tuck in to just hold a passport. Good quality ones will range from $40-90+ (more money buys higher quality leather, style, finer details and stitching and more natural colors/finishes), but you can get something inexpensive from Target or Walmart in nubuck/vinyl that does the job just as well.

Are you talking about ones for just passports, or other things too, like tickets, etc. I got one of those travel wallets, for tickets, FF mile cards, etc. for DH who used to travel alot and it came in handy, Eddie Bauer outlet I think. As for the passport holders themselves, I got a soft leather one at a luggage outlet, but found it useless b/c you have to take the passport out to show it, so it actually kinda gets in the way.

There are so many options. You can search by brand here: http://shopping.msn.com/narrow/shp/?bcatid=6486,page=10,aclaId=2

My passport cover (by Patek Philipp) has metal corners which I personally think is essential if you travel a lot. If you decide to buy an organizer, make sure it has a transperent ID pocket. HTH!

ETA: did you check Amazon? They have an amazing selection in a bunch of colours :). I am tempted to pick one for DS in baby blue as his passport does not have a cover yet. DH is out of luck, after loosing his passport and Barney's cover, and than another passport, he is not getting any.
