...and you still haven't ordered the best one. [emoji9]
 
I recently picked up a Flowfold wallet -- made in Maine from high-tech kevlar and carbon fiber sailcloth. Super thin, lightweight and strong. They do several models, but this is the one I got:

^that's mad boo-zhee! I love it lol.

Here's a coach money clip card wallet. Tumi makes a similar product with a window. I had the same tumi for almost 15 years until it fell apart, they stopped Making that model so I went with the Coach.

I second Saddleback Leather!
My tobacco brown Med bifold could handle a nuclear attack 😜.
I have carried it stuffed full of crap and I've slimmed it down to where I could barely tell it was there while driving long distances.
Superb stitching, solid retention, doesn't break cards, and not smeared with hideous tags or labels.
I buy their products as gifts all the time and it never fails to impress.
Gets better looking with age and is my idea of what a wallet should be.

Ain't that the truth brother...!👍🏼
 
I have been using an Infinity leather Sting Ray for years. I pick up a new one at Blade every few years even though the old one it replaces is still going strong.
 
I got the Maxpedition Micro today. Arrived from Amazon. Within a few minutes I decided it's just not for me. Basically I don't carry enough cards. The card slots are wide--I presume to accommodate a stack of cards so the wallet can "flex" out a little. So my few cards ended up sliding around in the slots.

Here's the crazy part. It cost $12 on Amazon and I went into my orders to initiate a return. I just said "I changed my mind" as the reason in the drop down menu. They issued the refund and told me to just keep it! Seriously?

So I'm giving away this Maxpedition wallet to anyone on this thread that wants it. Just send me a PM and if you're willing to pay the cost of shipping (probably $3) it's yours. It's black BTW...

Saddleback should be arriving tomorrow. NY-LA wallet still my favorite so far.

I actually got mine yesterday and like it more than my old one. I just need more cards in it haha.
 
So a while back Spinny posted here and suggested that he had bought a Maxpedition Micro and didn't have a real use for it, and was kind enough to send it my way - thanks Spinny!

Well, I received it recently and its actually quite nice. I appreciate that it's quite thin and unobtrusive, has enough room to carry a number of cards, cash, and a spot for an ID (clear plastic), and a storage slot for bills or otherwise on the ouside exterior. I could post pictures here but there's tons of them out on the Innertubes if you want to see what it looks like.

Right now, I'm going to use it as a "false" wallet - one that I put some old expired credit cards in, a couple dollar bills, and use that as sacrificial wallet in case I get held up somewhere. My "EDC" wallet is on a chain in my pocket and out of view, so in the heat of a hold up, I'd prefer to have something else to offer up. This will be perfect for that - small enough to have enough in it to satisfy some idiot 2-bit thief, but not big enough to bore a hole through my pants pockets.

Thanks again, Spinny. Much appreciated. This would be a great, super durable, lightweight and slim wallet for someone who has minimal needs - hard to beat the ~$10 online pricetag.
 
I'm on the search, myself.
I recently purchased a Big Skinny slimline bifold. It's slimmer fully loaded than my old wallet empty. I don't dislike it; but it isn't quite what I want, either.
I went in on the kickstart of the Urban Slim 2.0; but the shipping date seems optimistic, based on the email I received about how things will be moving forward. I doubt it will be here for my trip next month, which is the reason I purchased it.
I also grabbed an Andar bifold cardholder with money clip, which should be here in a couple days.

If I don't like the Andar and/or Urban Slim; I can always use them as gifts. If I do, I'll use them...and not have to shop wallets for several more years.
I'm interested in feedback on the FlowFold, Roamad; as that is one I considered, as well.


*Edited to add - I ended up cancelling the Andar. It was purchased via Amazon Prime - the color I ordered showed up with today as the delivery date (I received the rest of my order on Tuesday). Not a big deal, really, until this morning showed that it hadn't even been shipped, yet. I went to Andar's site, and that color is listed as "Sold Out"; so there's not much reason to continue waiting. I thought about ordering a different model; but decided it's too similar to the Urban Slim that will get here eventually. I'll just use the Big Skinny - it's functional enough, for now.
