This is a crazy review because the Anson Calder Bifold Coin wallet is 1) discontinued, 2) super expensive for what you get (which is probably why it was discontinued at $135) and 3) not practical…who wants to carry just cards and coins?

Like all Saddleback wallet’s, they use full grain leather including a wonderful pig skin liner.

The Flipside 4 wallet is a polycarbonate (hard plastic) wallet with a spring opening and several card slots with cash capabilities. It’s fun to use, but is it really useful in day to day carry? Seems large for a convenient carry, but it grows on you.

Using Italian full grain veg tanned leather (or so we think), this wallet feels like it has two separate billfold pockets, but it’s a card wallet on steroids with 2 ID slots and 6 separate card slots. If you’re a card and receipt hound, this wallet is for you

Wingback’s Cash wallet is perfect for someone who likes to carry loads of notes. It can carry up to 20 slips of cash, which is excellent. It has an internal card slot which suits the minimalist if you’re looking to carry less than 6 cards, but anything more and you’ll be wanting. As is the case with all Wingback products, quality, customer service and ethos are excellent.

There’s nothing super special about the Serman 1.S wallet, it’s a version of many wallets you can find out there, including the money clip, which is the traditional spring-loaded type. But tried and true can also mean reliable, so if you’re looking for a wallet that isn’t fancy and doesn’t have crazy design unique, this will work.

When I bought it I thought, “oh, another simple billfold wallet…”. Wow was I wrong. The simplicity is actually elegance, wrapped in fine-tuned engineering, finished with decades of craftsmanship. Every millimeter of this wallet has been rethought over dozens of times over the years to reach this level of usability, quality and near perfection. Sometimes the most fabulous things are the simplest.

Combine that with a slimmer tracker card and you’re getting to where your vision of this type of wallet has always been.

Another finely crafted wallet from Aurochs in Pakistan. Made of full-grain veg tanned leather from southeast Asian tanneries, the cut, fit, sewing and finish of the Nova puts it head and shoulders above Bellroy’s competitive offerings. With great card slot features and a killer price, you have to add this to your collection.

Made from beautiful feeling and smelling Italian Buttero leather, Das Offene Meer’s Nimitz Gun Deck wallet is as much a piece of art as it is a fully functional wallet. With plenty of card and cash slots, it’s capacity matches its footprint.

Made from one piece of full grain veg tanned Tuscan Italian leather in London, and sewn with your chosen color, this expertly crafted card and cash minimalist wallet is clever. It’s barely the size of a card, but can hold up to 10 of them plus cash. And the smell? It’ll keep you so happy you’ll wonder why you didn’t get one of these sooner.

The Slim Sleeve is a very compact and easy to use bifold wallet from Bellroy, the leather and construction look solid, and it feels and smells nice. But for $79 can it live up to daily carry needs?

One of the most unique materials we’ve reviewed in a wallet, the wood and cork wallet is surprisingly flexible and durable. Carried as a slim wallet, it’s a talking piece that smells wonderful.

Bellroy put great thought and design time into the Hide & Seek wallet. Providing a second billfold pocket and card slot cleverly hidden behind the first, it’s a great way to keep cash, coin or cards out of the spotlight.
