If you have a phone with NFC you can just get Google wallet or whatever and not carry credit cards. It's also safe since you can turn NFC off

>They fell for the Bellroy meme.

>Gigantically logo'd, poorly stitched and poorly constructed wallets from shitty leather with an aggressive online market campaign.

They get rave reviews but that's from idiots who bought their first 'real' wallet after their high-school duct-tape or bad motherfucker wallet finally vaporised in a cloud of dust, musky ball sweat and teenage angst.

They use fold-over edges, a technique so simple and weak that if an exotic four year old boy in Bangladesh would show it to his boss he would be slapped around the factory with a whip and get relegated to the dye-pit.

Bellroy sucks dicks.

my bellroy wallet doesn't have a logo

it says "bellroy" really small in one corner but to be honest i can hardly read it

seems like someone hopped on the "i hate it because it's popular" meme train, good riddance!

>>11702229

No, I have just one wallet, bespoke by an old French man who used to work for Hermes.
He also makes perfect belts.

>>11702197
I don't know anything about their marketing campaign. I saw one in a bookstore one day and I bought it.

I've had better quality wallets, but they're too bulky, too stiff, have too many card sleeves, some shitty flap that serves no purpose but to make it thicker, etc.

I also don't care for having an indestructible wallet if it destroys my cards and destroys my back from sitting down on it.

What I like about the Bellroy is that they are soft and only as big as they need to be. My Bellroy bifold is thinner than most card holders that don't even hold bills.

>Le reddit answer

I've been hating on Bellroy the moment I first held one in my hands.
The leather is decent for the price but the construction is poor.
They use simple fold over edges such as on the left here.
That's a weak, poor construction and a sign of cost cutting and being cheap.

Yeah it makes the wallet thinner by introducing a weak as fuck construction.

A proper construction should have a double fold over with internal burnishing.

>>11702267
They have a 3 year warranty

If I'm using the thing for 3 years and it's good then I am satisfied

>>11702260
It's infinitely better made then that Bellboy crap.
>>11702258
It's a light simple billfold with stingray outer and full grain deer skin internally.
It's 8 years old and still looks perfect, the harder stingray leather protects it without becoming bulky or uncomfortable in tight pants.


Stop convincing yourself that your first big-boy wallet made in china or India is so good just because you are not used to it.

I've looked at millions of slim wallets. Most of them are either not a bifold (see >>11701126) or are some shitty paper wallet. The thinnest bifold I've found is Bellroy.

If there's a better bifold that's just as thin, I'd be happy to look at it, but I'm seen one.

>>11702319
>haven't seen one.

>>11702310
>No, but you are rocking pleb core in the meantime.
Doesn't matter. It's the wallet I've always wanted, and now I have it. Why doesn't it trigger you so much that somebody is making a product that people like and that wallet makers were too stupid to realize there was a market for?

I got this card holder. The middle opens up for cash. Any coins I just stash away in the coin pocket in my jeans. It's Alton Brown btw, they sell a million different wallets.

Btw, I can't believe that people actually put their wallets in their back pocket at all. Wtf.

My capybara wallet. Tough to tell its capybara because of a lot of use, though.

I bought one of these in tan (which is no longer available) over a year ago. Stitching has held up well, money never falls out of the middle pocket, and it holds all my cards easily.

And its 9 bucks.

>>11701126
Really quality leather.
It's my favorite wallet I've owned.

>>11702197
I did buy it after seeing an online ad (old one, used on eBay, with a Vanderbilt logo stamped on the front), not gonna bullshit
I've been very happy with it so far
But I've also bought two new bellroys, one of which I didn't like at all. In retrospect, I like my slim sleeve so much that I'm to stubborn to try anything else.
I got a bellroy pocket wallet just to try out and have been using that for a year. It still looks brand new and I have it organized exactly how I like, so right now I'm staying with it. But while driving a long distance or otherwise sitting for a long time I still take my wallet out of my pocket cuz it's uncomfortable. No matter how thin the wallet is the cards I carry are still bulky

is this a good option? it only has one pocket. Does anyone has experience with these kinda wallets?

Op here.

Bellroys look convincing. I also like Tanner Goods Journeyman. As does this >>11702540

But the most important question for me is: can it fit in your front pocket with no problem? If bellroys can do that, I will probably go with one of those because they seem to have more areas to store stuff than the Tanners.

>>11703734
Specifically, this Bellory looks nice.

But I question if this one is any better than the Tanners? I mean for one it comes in different colors.

It's just been the custom for ages. My parents do it and my grandparents do it. But it hurts my butt and also makes me feel paranoid when im in downtownish areas in the city.

I decided to settle on this wallet, cocoa color. Im looking forward to testing it. http://bellroy.com/products/slim-sleeve-wallet/charcoal

>>11704407
no, buy a real wallet. I bought a MMM wallet and I went back to my $100 plain brown leather wallet. The MMM was just terrible quality and I thought it was cool but it was just too flashy even for the 15 seconds it was out per day.

>>11704640
What qualifies as a real wallet?

>>11704498
Slim sleeve is great
It's another one of their other wallets that I just flat out didn't like

>>11704104

Thanks friend. Just ordered some Collonil and a brush.

>>11705580
He likes the slim sleeve by that brand, he doesn't like one of the other wallets by that brand.

>>11705593
Ah ok. Yeah some of their wallets seemed really gimmicky. Even the slim sleeve was kind of a gamble because it has that pull out tag, which looks like a problem waiting to happen.

>>11705505
If I get turned off by the slim sleeve, I will return it for this. This looks really nice, and that leather looks amazing in the pictures.

>>11701015
front pockets aren't any harder to pick than back ones. To even be a deterrent you need an affirmative closure, and /fa/ will go autismopocalypse if you wear cargos

If you're really worried about gypsy faggots niggering you, use a money belt with metal reinforcements so it can't be cut and foil lining to block RFID attacks. But I'm gonna warn you, they look gomer as fuck

>>11705601
yeah, I just checked today and they've bumped up the prices massively unfortunately but I'd still recommend

>>11701299
what about when its on? the only safe option is coins, no robber will take your cash if u have 100 dollars in coins, if u had bills they would take it, and credit cards can be skimmed, nfc can be hacked, coins is the one true method of buying shit

>>11709805
how many cards do you hold?

>>11709903
Three debit/credit cards, two ID's (school and drivers), and I occasionally hold cash.

>>11709942
that might be enough for the $9 wallet
I carry a lot of cards, like 15
Debit Card, Credit Card, Sam's Club card, driver's license, CTA card, Kinokuniya membership card (I could take this one out, to be honest), couple of gift cards, a $20, and all of my insurance cards

>>11710059
that's like 6 inches of stacked plastic

>>11710059
Exactly, I carry very little, so I see no reason in owning a big wallet that takes up all of my pocket space.

I just hope Bellroy has good return policies and they arent dicks about it. I guess thats why you should always order from Amazon whenever able, because you can return without question.

I hate big wallets, need something slim in my front pocket that still holds a few coins (cash country) until I can put them in the piggy bank at home.
So I made myself this one here from a single piece of leather, pretty /fa/, some advanced avant garde shit desu with the raw edge on the flap.
Actually it's two pieces now that I think about it because of the CC compartment but still, very slim and functional.
