Favorite slim wallet?

Allett Sport for me. Thin, soft leather on the outside and ultra-thin nylon inside means it is only as thick as what you put into it. Makes for a great front pocket wallet. I'm on my second, the first lasted a decade or more.

After trying several slim bi-folds, I moved on to a zip pouch type wallet. I currently use the Waterfield Designs Finn Access Wallet.

I sprang for a new Bellroy slim sleeve.
Gotta say that I am impressed. I really couldn't ask for anything slimmer.
The card capacity is big, but the size is very small.

Tough to beat a Filson wallet. Not the thinnest you'll find, and it's going to be pricey, but it will be damn well made. I have one like SP120K recommends, and a simple billfold cardholder style that I use in my front pocket. Both bought about 5 years ago for a ridiculous 75% off on a Mr Porter clearance. I've been using the billfold since well before COVID, and it's a beast. It's picked up some patina, but it could outlast me.
Very nice the billfold. You really found a great deal well done! I’ve been using mine for about 6 yr and it has a darker patina now. It was bought at Filson located in Seattle which was a nice place to visit. My Filson belt is over 10 yr old now.
I have bought a wallet several times, but I always regret it later. The thing that bothers me the most is that it can't fit in my pocket. I have wasted several hundreds of dollars buying different types of wallets. Finally, I found one from Nab Leather. It's slim, so it can fit in my pocket, and it also has enough compartments for me to put my credit cards and cash in. I think it looks cool, and it's of high quality. The best part is they have a variety of wallets for men and women. Now I don't need to carry a bag everywhere!

I just got a new wallet that I have great hopes for.
The Lost Dutchman is a single-man operation.
Their Franklin Wallet left me seriously impressed.
It's custom-made to-order from a single piece of leather.

It has a quick-access card slot on the other side
And it fold up nice and neat

In the world of wallets, leather is practically disposable. Spring for shell cordovan. Looks great, lasts forever. (Costs a mint, it's true...)

How is the reverse side engineered? Where the quick access is. It looks like it’s folded together. can it open up?
I see on the site it’s stitch less.
I like saddleback leather and see it's already been mentioned.
Past couple years I've been using a Kings Loot bifold wallet. I love it and is very slim for everything I've jammed into it. My son picked out the king's fold.

And goes well with this forum as I believe it was originally used to make razor strops
My last post on this thread, I was using the Ridge Carbon Fiber w/money clip then.... in August, last year. I'm still using it and it shows zero signs of wear and it remains a pleasure to use.
Large binder clip with a folded rectangle custom-cut from a blue plastic pocket folder (to keep the dollar bills from fraying)
It's a bit thick right now because I was given 5 Dunkin gift cards at Christmas

Good morning! Today, I'm carrying . . .
. . . a card wallet from "Access Denied." When it wears out, I'll buy another one for ten bucks. The sterling money clip is from Tiffany; I've been carrying that for more than 35 years.

Now there’s a wallet that looks right up my alley. I have been using Coach slim card wallets for many years, but they don’t make them the same any more, and my current one is wearing out. Thanks.
