I think I may have found the perfect wallet for me.

If I didn't carry as many cards as I do, and if I was going to carry something in leather, this is the one I would get:

For now, I'm a big skinny user.

What are your first impressions? I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the Horween Dublin Chestnut one. But I am concerned that it may be too thick even only carrying 5 cards and cash. Which material, CXL vs. Dublin will carry and wear the thinnest?

Lookd good! How about a side profile shot, so we can see the thickness? What is the approx. thickness the way you have the wallet loaded up? The logo stamp is quite excessive in my opinion. I would go with the smaller logo or perhaps no logo.

I really want to try one of these, but I carry too much cash most of the time.
I'm pretty much stuck with a traditional bifold or trifold.

Thanks for the profile pic. It will break-in quite nicely and "profile down." My Superior Titanium mini-Viper money clip measures just about 1/2" at the thickest point, so this one may be doable.

Uh, I think I have about 20 various bills, a few club cards, medical cards, ID, etc in my worn out trifold right now, and it may be 1 inch thick.
No way that Mitchell is going to hold 20 bills.

I think I may have finally found the perfect wallet for me. I was in Nordstrom yesterday and stumbled upon this Bosca Weekend Wallet...

Same wallet on Bosca's website...

http://bosca.com/weekend-wallet-4433.html

The Nordstrom reviewer hit the nail on the head on all acounts. This is nice and slim with 4-5 cards and a small amount of cash. I especially like the single gusset currency opening. Nordstrom does pricing matching and they honored Bosca's 10% off first order promo.

Where do you guys keep your change with all these wallets? In the EU I always seem to overflow with coins.

Last wallet I got was off Etsy and that was 4 something years ago and still holding up great.

These are the best companies I can think of. All make thin wallets that will last a lifetime and beyond.

I just put coins in my pocket and transfer them to a jar when I get home. In other words, I don't normally carry coins, and often I will use a credit card to pay even for things that cost < $2 just to avoid having to carry change.

If I lived in a country where coins are important, I would either get a wallet with a coin section (something like the taxi cab wallet, see http://aliciaklein.com/collections/all-leather-taxi-wallets or http://www.bigskinny.net/taxicat.html) or get a separate coin purse (more likely).

In the EU, do you tend to have a ton of cards?

When I was a kid (< 8 years old) and didn't have any real money, I used to buy a really cool money-clip wallet (I bought several because I would keep losing them, my mom was easy on me). It was made of faux leather and it had a coin pocket that opened on one side and a leather clip to hold money. In those days there were no cards or credit cards, and even the driver's license was a small booklet, not something that could be carried in a wallet. How times change...

Now with Apple Pay, I can easily see the day when wallets, like watches, become a thing of the past. You can have all your cards (including the driver's license) in the phone; anyone that needs to read/validate it can do so via NFC. The technology is all there; it's just a matter of infrastructure catching up.
