Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future

CR Brand guy here. Thank you for the shoutout, Chase! I'm deeply gruntled to hear that yours has been getting some use, and I love your explanation of why it exists. Regarding sustainability: We both want to do right while we're here, so we made them without animal products, they're recyclable, and we plant a tree for each notebook we sell.

[@jonathancarmichael2391]

Get yourself a CR brand wallet, people! Dot grids, perfed pages (1st half), sustainable, a mini ("Joey") and the wallet size ("Wallaby'), both inexpensive enough use on the daily and to give as sales-call swag with your business card tucked inside. The cover will easily stand up to a couple years or more of rough, daily use - if you don't fill it with notes before that. And the row of idea-filled notebooks looks good on your shelf. *No I don't own this company. Just sayin'.

Been using an elastic card holder that attaches to keys for 2 years but it's wearing out and I'm liking the idea of a small pouch to hold a couple pens and a small knife also at all times

[@cademaw04]

I've been using the Bellroy Card Holder for a few years now and I absolutely love it. The magnets are fun to fidget with but they're never fiddly when I'm actually getting into my stuff. I also like that there's just two slots that way I don't end up filling up my wallet with shit I don't need, but if I do need to I can throw in a couple extra cards or something and it doesn't suddenly make the wallet super bulgy.

[@gamalassaad7777]

I'm the Orgashell guy! Thank you so much for the shoutout, Chase! Love to see all these amazing wallet options for people in the market. So many brands are making really cool designs! Glad to be in this industry.

Gamal! Cheers :)

[@AZEOforreal]

Hey, I like your designs in the Millenial and the Commuter! If I were to recommend one thing, I'm in need of a wallet that can contain 3 cards, license/ID, and cash slot. If you wanted a new wallet idea, something that could hold all of those, especially the cash part, I would snatch it up instantly. + I love bifolds, and the aspects of the commuter had slight turn offs to me, specifically the slide out thing. I definitely think it has its own niche. Some of your best products will be ones that can tailor to numerous customers at once, if you wanted the advice I guess haha! I do enjoy your work, though, keep it up!

@@DeeEllEff Correct, the wallet itself will be just slightly thicker than the thickness of the 10 cards you put in. And then of course the sides are wider for the slider mechanism.

[@AbdulRahmanNoor]

First time viewer, so I hope you don't mind some feedback: Firstly, loved the range of wallets you covered and the chapter timelines, kudos for that. On individual wallets though, you seemed to fly over most of them without even covering their main features adequately. For instance the Ridge and Aviator are not similar - the integrated coin tray, adjustable capacity and pull strap makes it a completely different beast. Likewise the Vaultskin zipper has so many features you can't compare it to a pouch. Finally I hope you're mindful that more people speak English OUTSIDE the US than in N. America, so the question of coins is a serious one and not everyone carries around "just a couple of cards" Thanks for your video, it was good to see all of those in one video!

[@chasereeves]

Good points. With this much to compare, it’s really a speed test. The coin thing in aviator wouldn’t be sufficient for me outside the US, some will love the strap pull and some will hate, but everyday use is similar to those compared to other categories in my living.

[@scottmuir2385]

Mate…. Awesome Review! I saw 34mins and thought no way from someone I don’t know…. Took a chance and now you have a new sub! Been rolling Bellroy since 2016 and have so much of their products - just a shame when I upgraded to my iPhone XS Max and tried to order the 3 card case they said no as making the 11! Learning lesson for me, buy early!

[@thomaswu3424]

Hi Chase, I've essentially been using the same wallet for the past 25 years from Kenneth Cole. It looks like... they no longer make wallets. The reason I've stuck with it for so long is that it was the best quality one I could find with the following features: - Bi-Fold for most of my cards and cash - A removeable ID sleeve that can I can use when I don't anticipate needing all the rest of the other cards / cash. Some of the seams are starting to come undone, so I'm looking for options. The only drawback of this wallet has been that it's a bit on the bulky side. It's a little longer than it needs to be, and instead of the single cash pocket, it's got THREE. Now that I'm no longer a kid out of college, I'd like to find something that's a bit more refined. But wallets these days don't seem to have this option anymore. Have you seen any you might recommend? The perfect wallet for me would be: - Slim leather bi-fold with a removeable ID sleeve - I've seen ID sleeves with the plastic window that extends edge-to-edge. These tend to break rather quickly. Would be nice to have the plastic window to have a leather bezel to protect it - Single cash pocket is fine. Double is ok too, but three cash pockets starts getting a bit much. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@livinthedream222]

The hunt to find the perfect wallet has taken me down a very expensive rabbit hole. Here are a few front pocket wallets I have recently purchased: Trayvax , Dango, Cedar Grove Leather, Hitch and Timber, Saddleback and Open Sea Leather.

[@arthuredwards1433]

What was the best one?

[@TheEgyptianStories]

I have been using the the Ridge wallet for more than 2 years now. I like the fact that it has RFID blocking, it is very slim, I don't feel it in my front pocket. I have the old version so it just has an elastic strap, the cash sits there perfectly. I carry 7 cards no problem. I put my business cards externally under the cash, with time the top business card gets worn out in my pocket, but it is not a big deal. Unfortunately, I do have the carbon fiber version not the metal one. Sadly the thumb push out curve or the knob is the weakest point of the wallet. The Fiber carbon layer broke in my pocket exactly where the screw is. I discovered there is another layer under the carbon fiber layer so I crazy glued it, and it doesn't show. I would definitely buy a new Ridge wallet, but this time a metal one for sure. I highly recommend it.

[@orbispictus6127]

Interesting. I'm not very familiar with carbon fiber but I've always thought it's as strong as metal but lighter.

Im a Belroy guy - I have an arctic blue Note Sleeve wallet - awesome. I carry everything in a tri-color Belroy Classic backpack- electronics organized in a Belroy Tech Kit, toiletries and sundries in a Belroy Classic Pouch, art supplies in a Belroy Pencil Case, keys in a Key Cover Plus- all color coordinated cause that's how I roll. Wheee! I'm a Belroy Shill! Throw in a hoody and rain jacket, a Swiss army knife and mini flash lite, and my 13" MBP and it comes in around 10lbs with room for my camera and a lens if it starts raining. A feller could have himself a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all this stuff!

There is a great co here in AUS that makes very slim bifold with 4 Card slots and space for the plastic cash we use here. Best part is they are made from recycled Merc seats. The leather from old car seats. Very thin. Very robust. Serves me well.

Hey mate what is it called?

I agree with what you said about the Ridge. Its all just just muscle memory. I always have to remove all cards to get any card but it’s like dealing with a deck of cards, it all becomes second nature. Definitely requires two hands though.

Wooooo first comment! Hi Chase. Aside from being first... check out the Slimfold wallet when you get a chance. It was a Kickstarter a while back I think. He started with Tyvek which was surprisingly durable, but now has this proprietary stretchy fabric that's amazing. I've been using using probably 5+ years.

[@maxwellhallel]

I was hoping someone else had mentioned Slimfold! The micro in particular is just amazing.

[@stevengrootaert7825]

I searched comments before posting my own... always surprised I never see the Slimfold in 'minimal wallet roundups'. I've also had mine (the Mirco Soft Shell) for 7+ years - everyday, all over the world and at sea... some stitching has come undone but still in great shape. It's still hands down the best front wallet ever. I bought another 4 years ago as an eventual replacement hah haven't needed it yet. I had the tyvek before that and literally wore a hole (2 years of use?) where the cards rubbed in the corner.

Oft-overlooked benefit of wallets like the Bellroy Note: they're sized to hold all international currencies. Your standard "minimal" wallet becomes an awkward mess if you ever try to slip a few Euros or Vietnamese Dong in there.
