Large Bifold - Question on card pockets

[kaneman23]

Does anyone have a newer large wallet that they can post pictures of? The wallet that I received has smaller credit card pockets than what is pictured on the site and my cards seem to 'hang over' further than I would like. Saddleback stated that it was supposed to be that way but I could return the wallet for a refund. I just wanted to check with some others before I make up my mind on whether I'm going to send it back. I like the design of the wallet on the site over this one.

I have had both designs for the large bifold and like the one pictured that you have best. It is easier to get the cards out as opposed to the older style where they kind of made an impression into the back piece of leather and was more of a struggle than the newer ones. The newer style style seemed less rigid in the back pocket because it didn't have the extra leather stiffening it up. Lastly, when I opened the newer compared to the older style, I seemed to have more room to look for bills and receipts as it opened up a little more because there was less sewing on the bottom where the fold is. Hopefully this all makes sense--it seems to as I am writing it.

Thanks for confirming Matt and it does make sense. It doesn't look as good but I'm sure it's more functional to some.

I have the old style. Like the look of the old style better, and while extracting cards was definitely a struggle at first, it is definitely getting easier as the wallet stretches and breaks in. Had it for a little over a year and the "suede-like" finish has given way to a nice smooth vintage leather sheen. And that is one of my favorite things about their products - they start out stiff as wood, and then break in really nicely …

The cards in mine look exactly like the picture you posted. I like the functionality of it. Once the pockets loosen up a little the cards slide in and out pretty easily. However, I never feel as if they're going to just fall out on their own. I've heard the pockets can be loosened up more, but right now I just keep one card in each pocket.

I'm reviving the thread to ask how you carry the large bi-fold. I'd like to get my friend one - he has one of those trifold things and I think he'd like this one if he could get it into his front side pocket. Thanks.

I carry mine in my left front pocket, but that has always been my wallet pocket for me. It is a pretty big wallet, but it holds alot without getting crazy thick like the trifolds I see most people with. Seems like everyone I work with has a wallet that is so stuffed it is visibly starting to tear apart at the seams lol.

I apparently have the "old style" with the cards that do not hang over, but I bought mine in Feb this year, so this new style must be really new (I have the current logo on the front, not the older one).
