March 30, 20187 yr Looking for leather wallet recommendations. I'd like it to have room for DL and CHL. In addition to the 2 IDs, I normally carry 4 or 5 cards, a couple insurance cards, and some cash. No photos. RFID would be nice. I don't really like tri-fold, but willing to take a look.

Didn't know if I would like it, coming from a very large wallet. Will buy actual gator when this one wears out. Been a great wallet so far.
March 30, 20187 yr This is what I have and love it. It takes weeks to arrive as they all are made to order https://www.chestermox.com/wallets/56-ilcea-museum-calf-dark-brown-leather-minimalist-wallet.html https://www.chestermox.com/wallets.html Edited March 30, 20187 yr by Washpark

But I need one that can carry more.
March 30, 20187 yr I don't know why I can't figure out how to send a link to Amazon, but search on there for "Moon Glory RFID Wallet". Best wallet I've ever had. Those dumb little bands that pull your cards out are awesome.

March 30, 20187 yr Doesn't meet your RFID needs, but I'm a huge fan of Mitchell Leather, their money clip wallet is thinner than just about any other and is so easy to use. I've given a bunch as gifts and gotten only positive feedback. https://mitchell-leather.com/collections/money-clip-wallets Cool company, not corporate at all: https://www.size43.com/stories/mitchell-leather/ Sam Edited March 30, 20187 yr by Sam Lin
March 30, 20187 yr Unless you are hitting up new docs frequently, drop the insurance cards from the wallet. And many ins cards offer electronic versions. Another option is to scan the cards and email them to yourself. You can always forward it to a doctors office or even hospital Er. i know it’s only saving a millimeter in your wallet but it’s more of just getting rid of one thing that’s always in the way.
March 30, 20187 yr I’ve never loved a wallet as much as this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018W6US8W/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It doesn’t look as good as leather, but for and keeping things thin and minimalist it can’t be beat. I typically only carry three cards, DL, CC, debit card. Everything else is in traditional leather wallet that I keep in my truck. But I’ve carried as much as 7 or 8 in this just to test it out and even going from a lot of cards back down to a few it doesn’t stay stretched out or loose. It’s so much thinner than leather, it holds the cards tight enough, and is unnoticeable in my pocket. But if you want something classy looking this won’t be it.
March 30, 20187 yr I have a bellroy brand wallet. I’ve had it for several years, it’s held up very well, and it holds everything that was in my old leather wallet with about half the thickness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 30, 20187 yr I got this a couple months ago and have been really happy with it. Put coins in the pouch side when we were in Italy and they held with the cash surprisingly well. https://www.strapodesign.com/product-category/wallet/
March 30, 20187 yr I've had a front-pocket wallet for years. Nothing too fancy. I'll never go back to a back-pocket one.
March 30, 20187 yr Been using this for over a year. Have seen fancier versions for around $60 but this one works great. https://www.wish.com/m/c/5433010e3a025e0d49179021?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=US&_force_currency_code=USD&pid=googleadwords_int&c=%7BcampaignId%7D&ad_cid=5433010e3a025e0d49179021&ad_cc=US&ad_curr=USD&ad_price=1.00&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkIfPyMGU2gIVESOBCh0ODQ9MEAQYASABEgLm2_D_BwE

March 30, 20187 yr Been using a Machine Era Ti5 Slim Wallet for about a year and I'm never going back to the Costanza wallet I used to have. Fits unobtrusively in my front pocket and carries everything I need. And it opens bottles, too.
March 30, 20187 yr Another vote for Coach. I have this one. carries around 8 cards plus cash and a card or two if needed in the clip. Coach Money Clip Wallet
March 30, 20187 yr https://www.neimanmarcus.com/Frye-Oliver-Leather-Bi-Fold-Wallet-Dark-Brown/prod180340088/p.prod?ecid=NMCS__GooglePLA&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=NMCS__GooglePLA&utm_campaign=Frye Wife bought me this one a couple of years ago. It’s the best wallet I’ve had. It has help up well and holds the right amount of stuff.
March 31, 20187 yr I have a Dockers brand leather bi-fold wallet that has lasted for years and is still in great shape. I bought it at JC Penney. My previous wallet, given to me as a gift for being an usher at my sister's wedding, had fallen apart and I needed a replacement. I didn't have a lot of time to search and this one wasn't particularly expensive. It would do for now and I could look for a better one later. It's held up a lot longer than its predecessor. It's still in great shape. I would totally buy another one if this one ever wears out which it shows no sign of doing anytime soon.
March 31, 20187 yr https://m.macys.com/shop/product/tasso-elba-invecchiato-italian-leather-bifold-wallet?ID=598422&CategoryID=47665 Had this one for about 10 years before replacing with the same. Not RFID, but meets your requirements otherwise.

April 1, 20187 yr I like Filson wallets. I am a front pocket wallet guy so I like them small. I am currently using the "Bridle Leather Card Case." It's tiny and I can fit my DL, debit card, credit card, work ID card, Medical card, AAA card, a few business cards, and cash into it.
April 3, 20187 yr http://www.krsaddleshop.com/Cash-Clip Used this for 3+ years. Never going back to a rear pocket wallet.
April 3, 20187 yr Been using one of these for the past few years, really like it https://www.allegorygoods.com/all-products/the-kit-minimalist-wallet They used to be made of Kangaroo leather, not sure if they still are. This was after deciding over https://bellroy.com/products/slim-sleeve-wallet/default/black#image-8
April 4, 20187 yr Been using a Ridge Wallet for a few months and I really like it. Won't go back to the back pocket wallet.
April 4, 20187 yr I haven’t carried a wallet in 20+ years. Cash, debit card, drivers license and one credit card in front pocket at all times. Anything else I need is stored in my phone.
April 4, 20187 yr I'm a front carrier as well, and I've been using one from Rogue Industries for a few years and like it. It's got a curved edge to fit the shape of your pocket, can be ordered in a bunch of different leathers, colors, and materials, and has RFID protection. https://www.rogue-industries.com/
April 4, 20187 yr I've had this for a few years now: http://ezraarthur.com/products/no-8-wallet/ They have smaller wallets and phone case/wallet hybrids. All of the stuff is built to last but as a result it is quite pricey. Had too many Coach wallets fall apart so I wanted something a bit higher quality.
April 4, 20187 yr I was on tapa when I replied earlier to the thread and was too lazy to search for a link. I have the Bellroy Hide & Seek model. It comes in a regular and RFID model. I've had it for almost three years and it's held up very well. https://bellroy.com/products/hide-and-seek-wallet/leather_lo/black#image-8

April 5, 20187 yr Card holder >>> Wallet. Cash folded in half in front pocket. If you have to, just use a rubber band while you save up for a Louis Vuitton. Bernard

April 5, 20187 yr Like this one, the Latigo stitch. Can’t find a good pic online but I’ve gotten some nice compliments on it: http://www.krsaddleshop.com/custitem_websubcat/Wallets--AND--Money-Clips?_ga=2.82398742.1481963358.1522943874-1651953617.1458224212 Edited April 5, 20187 yr by achooloco

April 5, 20187 yr What’s the advantage of the front wallet for you folks who are advocates of the style? I’ve never considered one before and was a bit surprised at all the love for them.

April 6, 20187 yr What’s the advantage of the front wallet for you folks who are advocates of the style? I’ve never considered one before and was a bit surprised at all the love for them. So you’re not sitting on your wallet. Also slimmer, not as bulky in your pocket.
April 6, 20187 yr Buddy of mine used to brag about his wallet- made by a physician who did circumcisions and also dabbled in leather craft. Really small wallet, but when you rubbed it, it turned into a suitcase.
April 6, 20187 yr I'm a minimalist, and am a big fan of the Coach card holders. My dad got me one like this in the late 90s and it's still holding up.
