00:00 Best Men's Wallet Introduction
As card and digital purchases have become more commonplace. Some argue the utility of a quality wallet is decreasing but a wallet is essential for organizing your cards, string spare cash, temporary storage of ephemera.
In addition to practical applications, wallets are an extension of your overall look and help express your personality.
01:27 History of the Wallet
Origins of the word wallet are relatively obscure. For most of its history, wallet referred generally to any leather case. Indicates wallets could look more like a knapsack than a modern wallet.
For most of human history, currency, primarily in the form of coins, was transported in pouches, chests, on strings, or even in people's mouths, according to some passages in Aristophanes. It wasn’t until the introduction of paper currency in the late 17th century that wallets began to be exclusively associated with carrying money.
06:03 Wallet Types - a. Coat Wallet
Because there are so many wallet types and your choice is dictated by functionality, comfort, and appearance, let’s examine wallet types according to these criteria: even though digital wallets and electronic payments abound these days
07:23 b. Minimalist Wallet/Cardholder
08:47 c. Billfold Wallet
09:30 d. Case/Pouch Wallet
11:04 e. Specialty and Travel Wallets
11:34 Wallet Materials - a. Rigid Materials
Wallets may have begun as leather pouches but now they’re available in a plethora of materials:
12:25 b. Plastic
12:30 c. Leather
14:29 Leather Quality
Check for aniline-dyed, not pigment coated. Aniline dying can only be done on superlative quality leather because it doesn’t hide anything from you. Characteristic leather pores should be visible.
16:23 Wallet Features & Construction Details
Some manufacturers will use leather on the exterior but opt for cheaper materials for the interior, like the divider or slots. We use full leather dividers for our Fort Belvedere Wallets.
17:46 Wallet Colors
Classic colors like brown & black have been popular for decades and complement any outfit but can be a little pedestrian. And while you could get a wallet in any color in the rainbow, that could be distracting.
Pairing interesting color combinations give wallets unique visual interest and personality without being distracting. Also, consider Contrast stitching. Another Classic subtle detailing choice Monogramming. We recommend blind-embossing by focusing on timeless and versatile detailing.
18:26 What Wallet is Best?
There are so many in the market and we've tried quite a few for this video and the previous times but there's a lot of change going on in the marketplace. Rather than giving you specific recommendations, we urge you to learn the quality of leather and when you can identify that, you can find a wallet that will work for you.
19:13 How Much to Spend on a Wallet?
As you’ve seen in our Is It Worth It? series, leather is one material where you really get what you pay for. For wallets, the cost is often dictated by how much leather was used to make them.

I purely only carry a wallet for 3 cards, everything else including ID and driver's license and 99% of everything else is on the phone apps/wallets. I haven't carried cash in more than 5 years now.
Wallets need to stop with those plastic windows for IDs. We always have to take our IDs out to show it so that plastic window doesn't do anything. The other gripe about those plastic windows is that over period of time, they change colors. To me it makes the wallet look cheap.
I actually just replaced my old $20 faux leather wallet I had for years with a Ridge wallet. It was a Christmas gift from my uncle who gave one to my brother and I. Even if it’s not refined looking I find it functional enough and it was a nice gift.

I purchased a fort belvedere wallet. The burgundy and teal one. I got it I think 2 or 3 years ago and it almost looks like the day I purchased it (minor scuffs only from dropping it and having a few drinks and deserts spill on it when I put it on the table when I used to date) I carry it with me every day and I am impressed with the craftsmanship. I would recommend everyone to shell out these $270 for the wallet as it will last you (from what I see for now) a lifetime, during which you will probably use 20 wallets that cost $20. You save the planet, and you save your future self money. Go for it!

I have the Grip6 wallet. It’s a spring wallet with a full grain leather glove around the metal frame with some space for cash or an ID. I think that the one without the loop could fit more easily in the classic gentleman’s look due to that leather glove.

I have had a slim Travando wallet for sometime now. Card slots, money clip, keeps me from turning it into a filing cabinet. The design is pleasing and fits comfortably.
I actually use a women's wallet that closes with a snap. All the men's wallets I've seen and own has the card slots facing outward. The card slots in women's wallets face inward, so there's no concern for the cards to slip out without me noticing. I always keep it in my front pocket because having it in the back pocket is too uncomfortable. Plus, nobody can pickpocket it.

I don't feel right without a wallet. I have coat wallet and I love it!
I discovered the vertical bifold many years ago. They tend to be slimmer. However, they are very hard to find in stores.
That was by far the best comprehensive breakdown of gentlemen's wallets or young men's wallets.😉 Thanks for taking the time to put this together it's always great learning something new. Takecare!
I definitely need a slimmer wallet so very informative video and right on time. By the way thanks for the previous response it's truly helpful. I have a follow up question regarding sweaters. When you wear V-necks and Cardigans with Dress shirts can they both be the same size? I already size up on Jackets so just making sure. Hope you gents enjoy your weekend!
Leather is the most stylish. I guess most don’t care for their wallet like they would their shoes.e.g polishing. What do you think of coin purses. Nothing worse than change putting holes in trouser pockets? Always had to repair holes in my partners trouser pockets..
I bought a leather vertical bifold wallet from a street seller in Italy and it's been my favorite wallet for over 7 years now. I did get the wallet from my favorite movie but I eventually went back to the vertical bifold. Never going back to any thing else. Vertical bifold for life.
Just came back to this video...I just got a Bellroy Hide & Seek in Green Leather. Bit expensive around $100 but I've had other products from this brand and they've gained my loyalty. 😅
The Ford Belvedere one looks sick!!💯
Quality does count. I had many regular wallets that don't last but my Gucci wallet is still hanging in there after 20 years.
For an upcoming Scotland holiday I’m getting a jacket wallet since I’ll likely be wearing a jacket every day. When wearing a jacket I find them much more convenient and when wearing a kilt the jacket wallet is eminently practical
Especially in these times my chain wallet has kept my valuables safe several times from pick pockets, doesn't go well with long overcoats though with it bulging. My inside pocket becomes my wallet at that point and people dont mess with people with long coats.
Something about the minimalist wallets that's great is that they can actually fit in the coin pocket of your jeans, neat and out of the way!
I use an Ashland leather shell cordovan amaretto wallet that is fantastic! When I find it too thick with 6 cards and 10-15 bills, I switch to a Il bisonte billfold that is very thing, too! Great video! Very relaxing:)
Card holder is my preference wallet. Especially the one where you can insert a bit of cash in as well.

Call me old fashioned but when travelling I carry two wallets, both Swaine Adeney. One is a coat wallet because I like the smooth non-bulky line of a coat wallet, plus a regular wallet for the back pocket when not wearing a jacket. Yes, it can be a bit awkward moving cash and cards from one to the other, but it works for me.
Billfold is the best. A fee card slots. And a clip for money.
A few years ago o bought a Sherman brand leather wallet for about $20. Made in China. It’s the only wallet I’ve seen that has all the features I need. Like the clear part for my license, two slots for my main cards, and enough room for a bit of cash. Plus a few other features that I like. It’s still Going strong.
Thank you, this has been quite informative.
I tried using a cheaper leather wallet and it held up for maybe a year, planning to invest a little more for a higher quality wallet soon
I wonder, is there a protocol describing where you should hold your wallet? I mean, what pocket, trousers, jacket, etc... What is the correct use of all your other pockets. This may seem frivolous, but after some real-life scenarios and experimenting, I've got to say, it's paramount to wallet use and/or pocket use. I just wonder if there are guidelines for this subject from which I could learn on. Thx.
in these days of mobile phone hacking credit cards, the most important thing for me is that the wallet islined with anti RFID anti cloning material, and i carry two slimline monogramed wallets, one for notes or bills and one for cards, cash in back pants pocket or inside right jacket pocket and cards inside left

p.s. I also carry my visiting/calling cards seperately in a high polish silver card case in the small inside left jacket pocket, much more stylish to hand a calling card than fumbling with a mobile phone to give personal details
The pockets for credit-cards MUST face the fold and not 'up' where a worn wallet will spill the contents.

Currently, my cell phone case has an integrated wallet and I get compliments on it. Really very nice. Probably won't last as long as my Eel skin wallet from dept store 10? yrs ago. Still looks great.
You did not mention the front pocket “taxi” wallet. I used one in the 90’s and came back to it a couple of years ago. It is safe in the front pocket. Driver’s license and debit card fit in the top pocket. It has a coin pocket for a few quarters. I will never go back to any other wallet.

Hi Sven, great insight into wallets' history and thanks for providing gentleman's opinion. Wallets are such elegant accessories that I am really interested in their future in the context of modern ways of payments. As a leathercrafter I would like to provide some comments/recommendations/observations. Here, I disclaim that leathercrafting is my hobby and I have no intentions to support any leathercrafting businesses. By a gentlemen I always understand a man that, besides "being a man of good and courteous conduct", carries a certain "nobility" in his lifestyle. 1) Wallet is a very personal piece of accessory, selection of which very depends on deep person's taste and preferences. I strongly recommend NOT to provide a wallet as a gift unless the gifted person chooses it. High risk of the gifted person will not like it. 2) There are a few grades of leather. The best is full-grain vegetable tanned leather. Only full-grain does consists of the entire top layer ("skin") and has the most dense fabric structure, which ensures its durability; other types like top-grain, split, or genuine leather are cheap alternatives that try to look like full-grain to disguise a customer. Veg tanning lasts longer and uses natural ingrediencies (e.g., tree bark), while chrome tanning is a cheap mass production that may chemically interact with metals in your wallet. 3) Exotic leathers do not necessarily have better material properties than good old cow hide. 4) Like watches, different wallets are used for different situations. Gentlemen shall use different wallets for travelling, for visiting theatre, for a dinner in a restaurant, for every day carry, etc. You can have a "bigger" wallet in you briefcase and a "smaller" wallet for your essentials or the most frequently used items; actually, I have seen this operational model for quite a few of my customers. 5) The best way for a gentleman to have a wallet that reflects his personality is by ordering a bespoke wallet at leathercraft shop. Gentlemen can then define his needs and preferences - purpose, design, expected wallet load - these are the key questions I ask my customers. You may have a set of wallet with matching design, or a design that matches your other leather accessories (maybe made by the same leathercrafter). No limits. Leathercrafters have plenty previous projects that may inspire a gentlemen. 6) Like watches (again), by using a wallet custom made by a professional leathercrafter a gentleman shows off an accessory of an ultimate craftmanship. If the gentlemen wants to show off an expensive product, exotic leathers are not necessary. Leathercrafters have no problem to incorporate such an artistic level to a wallet by using carving, stamping and other artistic techniques that the price can be high enough so that the gentlemen is not ashamed :). 7) A gentleman takes care of his surroundings, including environment and its future. Firstly, the gentleman shall generally opt for a high quality durable timeless products so he minimizes waste production; full-grain veg tanned leather fits this perfectly as humans use leather for quite a few thousands of years. Secondly, the gentleman shall prefer leathers that are side products of other agricultural processes (e.g., cow hides, shell cordovan, goat leather) instead of using leathers of endangered species. I hope you find my comments interesting and useful.
Shell cordovan leather is the best, highly recommend the brand ashland leather who use horween leather.

What's the sweater? Colhays?
The bulk and heaviness of my wallet is really bugging me. I opted for a new one the other day that looked slimmer (my previous on is worn out anyway) turns out the reason why it looked slimmer was because it's actually bigger so it's more cumbersome than the previous one, i wait to see how it gets old (and even though it was cheap, I will wear it out long enough to get used to it and to fond the right way for me to carry: my id, my debit cards, my bus subscription, my license in the future, bank notes, coins and some fidelity cards (might upgrade those to a seperate card wallet but coins are the biggest of the bulk for me and i have to constantly have a coin on my person since i'm grocery shopping once a week) I do not keep my wallet in my trousers as i find it uncomfortable so i'm glad to discover coat wallets exist Ooh i really like the idea of the cigar/pouch/makeup holder wallet I'm non binary,i knit and sew a lot and i have a huge clasp (think tiny minimalist granny purse clasp, i guess i might make a pocket purse or something)
My Coins are always in a little coinbag on my belt. Disliked them in my billfold wallet, because they stretched it on long terms. Now I use in combination to my coinbag a coatwallet usable even for larger papers like receipts for payment.
Burgundy is a great color for a wallet.

Suggesting that you need to spend $250-300 to get a good quality billfold is ridicilous. You can buy a whole leather jacket for that kind of money.
My Saddleback Leather wallet is super thin, holds all my cards and various sizes of cash. Plus they are warranted for life. Basic, well constructed and real quality leather.
I have a black leather coffin shaped wallet with metal studs at the corners. It flips open and fastens shut with a button. It also says, Never Trust The Living on the front. Only problem is it doesnt have a coin purse or bill slot. It's a bit of a goth style, but i think its slim size and black color can fit with just about any style.
I use a Coach card holder. Theres 3 card pockets on one side. A clear id pocket on the other and a middle slot where you can fit folded bills. Its way thinner than any folding wallet.
Thank you sir ❤️

I hate having stuff in my pockets, so the ridge works because I never carry more than a few cards on me, and took the money clip off, so on the off chance I have cash I use a separate money clip.
The biggest problem with a good wallet, is that in our country we use a lot of coins (euros is currency) so in most cases the coin part is getting broken for a lot.
