I can tell this channel is going to cost me a lot of money...

[@GsxrGrl21]

Love love love my Contour. Have had it for going on 2 years and it still has that amazing leather smell. It's the talk at every party when I pull it out to pop open a beer. Best money I've spent!

[@09agentbill]

I bought the Huskk wallet when you showed it on your $250 budget carry video. I've been carrying it since then and can say it's a good one. I keep 4 cards and about 10 bills folded up in my pocket. It's still nice and slim and the pull tab makes it easy to get my cards out.

[@rianwelch1664]

Based on an older video I bought the Arc Bolder. I am supper happy with my purchase. The wallet is better than expected. I show it off every chance I get. Thanks for exposing small makers.

[@PaoloMix09]

I have one of the newest Gun Deck QuickDraws, it’s a really elegant wallet and holds just enough cards for my needs. Love the leather and craftsmanship. Totally recommend!

[@tee918]

I have the Misc Goods wallet and it is insanely great quality. I use it for 5 cards, MC registration/insurance and it has plenty of room. it's a wonderful wallet that holds things secure as well as being quite compact. 10/10

[@lightinthedark_]

Been using a Decadent Minimalist in titanium with money clip (in Ti too) since whenever their Kickstarter campaign was (5 years?). Absolutely love it.

[@CaseyHardman]

I've gone from the normal trifold/bifold leather wallets in the back pocket, to the Mstrmnd Apex 2.0 (great card holder if you don't carry much/zero cash!), to the Trayvax Axis (solid build but adjusting the strap to accommodate for more cards/cash is a huge pain - also the new version looks even more annoying), back to the Apex 2.0, and now I've finally (for now lol) settled on the Stow wallet. I got the 8-card version, but I can easily fit 10 cards and several bills. Even though I don't carry cash often, I needed something that could hold a few bills and this thing is perfect for that. The front card is quite exposed, so if you're worried about that, it might not be for you. Fortunately that doesn't bother me and it's currently the perfect wallet for me!

[@agillespie3]

I've been binging your shows while searching for a new minimalist leather wallet and then this video drops! Awesome!

[@williamtawiah908]

Truly love and appreciate what you do here Taylor thanks🤙🏾

[@davidaja1630]

I’ve also tried many, Trayvax contour is my favorite of all time! Going on 3 years and it still looks new, holds 13 cards and cash. Well built and a great look black and brass and brown leather. It will last for ever..

[@SashankShivakumar]

I've been using the Gun Deck for the last 2 years..built like a tank and has aged beautifully!

[@brianjohnson1519]

I got a Gun Deck Quickdraw, and it’s fantastic. Being able to get to my main credit card without opening the wallet is super convenient.

[@Migs3]

Excellent video. Thanks taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs

[@WesTheMarketer]

I bought the Saddleback Front Pocket ID wallet in 2010. It’s still my go to. Definitely worth a look in this category.

[@af1023]

Excellent show, thank you for doing this.

[@MorningBonner]

My wallet of choice is the Andar Pilot. They just came out with a model revision that looks dope.

[@TACLife]

Love it as usual! Thanks for keeping up the good work!

[@wayfindercarry]

Hey Taylor! Thanks for featuring our FLUX cardholder!

[@jpmccarthy33]

Frenchie mini is my personal favorite. Also love the summit and ascent from trayvax, but my frenchie is my EDC.

[@akseljohnson6146]

I love the Trayvax summit wallet. I got mine in that 50 summit wallet giveaway a while ago on the channel and I’ve been carrying it ever since.

[@vasilikivlastaras5255]

My fav wallet as of lately is the Charlie from Herschel Supply Co. Very slim, durable, leather and fabric options, and most of them are $22 but I've seen as low as $16 on sale!

[@abilash5768]

Boy oh boy I was waiting for a video like this

[@shumardi1]

Based on this review I ordered a few wallets, the Misc Goods being one of them. I love the Misc Goods wallet. When you see it online it doesn’t look like much, but it is perfect for me. It holds plenty, although less than I used to carry. It is soft and pliable, which makes it very comfortable in the pocket. I love the Misc Goods wallet and recommend it.

[@tee918]

I've been carrying mine for over a year and it's absolutely wonderful.

[@KPZvision]

Ive carried a Huskk wallet for a couple years now. i love it and its held up so well!

[@bothompson4911]

Talyor, love the vids, wish you continued success

[@ronmasters751]

Dynomighty Design. Have been carrying these Tyvek wallets with fun designs for more than a decade. Wore one out.

[@joshgardiner3612]

Loved the outro with all 12 of those plugs 😂👍🏼

[@nolainnogain]

I use the trove wallet. Absolutely love it.

[@bionick4281]

I’ve been carrying the Flipside 4 tactical wallet for the last 3 years and I LOVE IT! It has the ability to protect my credit cards(RFID)and the plastic shell is indestructible! I will never carry a different wallet ever again, eventhough I know there are many great options out there!

[@markot1990]

I have carried a Trayvax Contour and a bunch of other Trayvax wallets for a couple years. Also been using Bellroy products. Now I wanted to change my edc again so I picked up a Trove cash wrap wallet. I haven’t got it yet but it seems to be an interesting design.

[@mattking8728]

Ezra Arthur makes some amazing stuff. The slim wallet shipped from Bespoke post is a thinner veg tan leather that I think was just for that specific club shipment. If you buy from Ezra Arthur directly you get better quality, and their gear is freaking awesome.

[@JimmyWangdi]

I’ve been waiting for this video!

[@alexbalcer5369]

Nice mention of Popov Leather at 3:03 min...best wallets hands down!

[@3wheelmannc860]

My fav. is the Ridge...not inexpensive, but the best I have ever tried...almost two years in...it's a keeper.

[@helms1453]

I been using the Husk wallet for last 2 years and it’s still works good, looks a bit worn and shiny! But hey it’s leather. Now I’m thinking switch to a forge carbon ridge style card holder just for try smth new.

[@SUMO.1123]

I was just thinking about when he's going to post next and here it is, thanks dude

[@titan90000]

Great timing, currently looking for a new wallet. I'm most interested in the Bobcat and the Nutsac wallets, going to check them both out.

[@davislarsen4426]

Killer vide man. Another smaller leatherworker I like it Lowtide Leather. They make some cool cardholders and even larger bifolds

[@JohnClausen]

I have never seen the appeal of a metal wallet. They just seem so sharp and obtrusive. I already carry and knife and phone with hard corners. A nice supple leather wallet is bae. I wish you had included a bellroy card pocket. I carried one for 3 years and love it. I’ll probably go back to it soon. I got a Das Offene & Meer stitchless, and it’s definitely super nice, I just love the card pocket so much

[@MarcWard]

Man.... I needed this video 2 weeks ago. I just ordered and recieved the trayvax armored summit this week

[@garrettmeyer9674]

I got my armored summit a few weeks ago too and I love it. How do you like yours?

[@MarcWard]

@@garrettmeyer9674 I like it so far the footprint is nice in the pocket. The strap does start to work loose though I've noticed and cards want to fall out after taking one out, which is kind of a bummer and then I have to worry about orientation when placing into my pocket. I do like the smooth edges and the strap does offer some pocket protection for my phone. How about you?

[@eye1dry138]

Allet leather sport wallet is the best wallet hands down. Super thin, super lightweight, looks nice, holds 15 cards, and a good amount of bills. Also has a little pocket for my metal toothpick!

[@jasonbrown6686]

Taylor !! Thanks for the video !! Take care !

[@Tyrael314]

I know you love leather but the Magpul wallet is truly minimalist IMO. Had mine for over a year and it has held up well.

[@KSZN_]

I just purchased a Trayvax wallet and I love that thing!

[@willynaylor7356]

Carried a ridge wallet for a couple years, really liked it, but was rough on CC mag strips, got a Hanks front pocket wallet, still breaking it in but it'll probably be a keeper, wish I got one with a ID holder but the quality is amazing, beautiful leather. Also have a Hanks belt, great for everyday carry, just my 2 cents

[@landscapingspecialist]

The brown leather with red thread reminds me of the Danner mountain light hiking boots.

[@burimsinani1]

The best one I've ever used is the titan x wallet. Love the look and the quality, been using it for almost two years and it still lives up to its rep

[@davidvance3527]

A good variety for minimalist.

[@KingsLoot]

This is a great video! Very interesting to see what you love most. 🤙

[@pxjx8324]

Man I was looking for a new wallet and then this dropped. You the man Taylor 👊

[@afterstars]

I’ve got a Flint Marlin Ultra Slim that I really enjoy and recommend.

[@barddzen]

Ive been in to gadget wallets for a while now and I go back and forth between HuMn and a slim leather wallet. The leather versions I swap in and out always seem to get worn or stretched a bit to the point that cards come flying out and I go back to the HuMn. I recently got a Trayvax Summit and also ordered an XSTO to try out. Thus far the Summit seems pretty great s you've reviewed, slim, easy, durable. I ordered some elastic to swap out the canvas strap to try something I saw on another video that seems more versatile with the Summit.

[@Mike-cu6gk]

Love my Das quick draw 3 years old

[@JuanGonzalez-qg3oc]

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your work.

[@SuperDesignguy]

I've used a lot of minimalist wallets over the years, and I think the Exentri tri-fold is an amazing, compact, do-it-all with full cash slot wallet available. If you use multiple cards and carry cash, and want a small footprint ( front pocket friendly ) this is something to check out. It really is nice. I picked up a couple different wallets since, but can't find anything that compares to it's size and functionality ( you don't have to play origami with bills like other wallets)

[@orthomechanic]

Have you used the Metaliums Wallet?

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

I've been using a radix one for a few years, two slabs of plastic and a silicone band holding it together

[@W.CambridgeLeatherCraft]

I know you're very unlikely to see this but I absolutely love your videos, their so informative and satisfying. You inspired me to create a new video, I'm only just starting out so any advice would be massively appreciated.

[@lfish21.]

Been using a ridge wallet and I truly do enjoy it. I like how “modern” it is. But something about a slim leather wallet has been calling my name lately.

[@jonathanoehlert5672]

I like the pull tabs.

[@SilverWatcher.]

my trayvax element in Mississippi mud has been with me 6 years + 😊

[@MegaMmm4]

I'm still running that Nomad Slim Charging Wallet that you reviewed like 3 years ago on your other channel, it's almost time for a replacement.

[@envrnmntlsm]

these seem great but i love the durability of my forged carbon ridge wallet. lightweight but durable and it holds a lot of cards while still being pretty slim

[@tnan123]

Those leather ones look really nice.

[@ladelacruz4945]

The EDC wallet at 7:03 is so very nice.

[@p.t.benzinger2179]

Perfect timing cos I'm learning leather crafting, and I was looking for ideas to make my own, I can never find the 'perfect wallet' so I'm just gonna make one.

[@landscapingspecialist]

My edc comprises of a minimalist Fidelo wallet. It has a strong neodymium magnet money clip flap. And also a sandvik/D2 steel Kershaw Leek. This way when i empty my pockets after work i can stick my knife to the backside of my wallet so they stay together

[@mikestrusowski5071]

I own many of Open Sea Leather products. Love Michael’s work! Great review man! IMO no other better wallet option out there besides the Topsider! ✌🏻

[@6bluestrings]

You have to get a Das Offene Meer Topsider Quickdraw. BEST wallet ever! Thanks for the cool videos.

[@rickm8388]

You need to try the Jon Hart Design Mcclip wallet, so many different color options in leather, never switching to anything else

[@Monkey_business01]

That's a lot of all time favorites 🤔

[@halo3762]

Definitely should have had Oak City Leather Supply Wallets on there!

[@mumu132]

Thank you for the video! If you haven't taken a hack at the Saddleback Leather Front Pocket ID wallet...you need to. I love the ID display and in typical SL fashion, these things are made to last with daily abuse. I've used mine every day since 2012. Since you like leather, check out there belts, bags and other gear...would recommend to anyone.

[@marethepoge9502]

I just gotta say dude, you are awesome.

[@JohyeahM]

I use a Speed Wallet Mini by The Frenchie Co. It's perfect. And more minimal than all the ones here.

[@TakeCareMan]

It all depends on the purpose of a "minimalist" wallet. For me, it means it must be thin. So far that criteria, Vanquest's Cache takes the crown due to it's 2x2 card design that spreads out the cards into the flattest configuration possible.

[@frankgeorge9387]

The Colonel Littleton front pocket wallet is by far the best minimal wallet I've tried for cards and cash. I've tried alot of them.

[@Cycle774]

You should check out Lost Dutchman leather too. Completely enamored with Das Offene Meer wallets.

[@darkkiller1485]

I always used a leather trifold/bifold wallets. Might have to give one of these a try

[@darkkiller1485]

This might be a dumb question but are these back pocket or front pocket carry?

[@paul_miller43]

I love my STOW wallet and will soon be upgrading to the XSTO

[@wilberstarz8736]

Currently waiting for my Gundeck to arrive in the post!

[@MichaelQuisao]

I've had a Billykirk No. 155 Card Case for years and years now and I love it. Love how leather wears. Got a Magpul DAKA Essential Slim Wallet at a trade show and it's the smallest, thinnest wallet I've ever used. Still go back and forth between the two.

[@GorggW]

premiere body armor has a regular wallet that they put level 2 kevlar in, it is bulletproof, when it's folded closed it's level 4, not minimalist, but pretty thin and pretty cool.

[@blaineyh920]

Why in the absolute fuck would you need a bulletproof wallet?

[@christianrodriguez607]

@@blaineyh920 say that to the old man I that got saved by a quarter

[@DrStfuFool]

@@christianrodriguez607 Hell, or look at the story of Teddy Roosevelt surviving an assignation attempt because the folded up speech in his breast pocket stopped the bullet. Nothing for people to turn their nose up at. Sometimes the littlest things make the biggest difference in our lives.

[@HankBukowski]

@@blaineyh920 You won't. Men might.

[@ashtonhatch7145]

My favorite minimalist wallet is the Grip6 wallet. I work for Grip6 and I make them myself. It is all done right here in the U.S.A.

[@TRIP730]

I'd say the ridge wallet wins out on the minimalist factor, the perimeter of the wallet is literally the size of a card. I've had mine for well over a year, no problems at all.

[@Mike-cu6gk]

Love my Das wallet 3 years now

[@PrinceAnt722]

I've been using the Armored Summit from Trayvax for the last three years. One of the cool things about the face plate; it's also a bottle opener.

[@enbardis]

Mitchell leather makes an awesome wallet. I won't carry anything else. Absolutley awesome

[@southernlogicyt]

I have at least 10 cards I need to have on me at all times during the week because of work, I’d, ccp and a list of certifications and licenses. I love the small leather wallets and have a cheapo from Amazon I bought to see if I’d like it. It has 6 pockets and magnetic money clip. Also a pocket on the inside where I keep my pry tool. I’d love a custom leather wallet with a similar design now. Where should I go to look into having one made

[@janodewald6087]

Have an i-clip, plastic frame and clip with a leather cover. Made in Germany (where I happen to live), affordable and weights close to nothing. Plus you get a wide selection of leather designs. Still thinking about trayvax though... Maybe some day?

[@sutach]

I make wallets like this, minimalist wallets are great. I made a wallet like cave but with 2 pockets and leather strap, looks much better, because of you can't see the stitching on front pocket and much more useful, 2 pockets are better than 1. But one of my favourite models is 3 pocket vertical wallet, only stitched in bottom, you can find STR handmade wallet, this is almost thew same. Easy to operate and very spacy for this size, easily fits 8 cards and couple slips of cash. Mini bifolds are nice too, 3 card pockets and flap for cash inside, 1 card pocket outside

[@scottbergman8662]

You should take a look at the Slimmy wallet. I have used it for several years and they hold up extremely well and holds a lot for a minimalist wallet.

[@LogicBob]

Apparently Taylor and I have VERY different taste in wallets. 😁 I'm digging the minimalist beard though. 😎

[@Essex626]

I carry the Magpull DAKA Essential, which is a lot like the Wayfinder wallet. Only $18 though.

[@judgementgaming3270]

Things from Vaultskin London are very good in my opinion.

[@x-rayimage1696]

Saddleback Leather Company has a great slim card holder, 10 stars

[@JC-bg5dd]

You got to try the Saddleback Front Pocket Leather ID Wallet. It has 100 yrs warranty too

[@RichardCheshire]

I'm looking to upgrade at the moment. I'm using a bulldog clip to hold everything together but my debit card is getting a bit scuffed on the corners

[@cjt1982]

How about a follow up? Best minimalist wallets that have an ID window. I love your videos. Keep it up.

[@jakeshaw1661]

I’m using the Herschel Charlie

[@money23mike]

Johnny wallet from Loyal Stricklin needs to be on this list!

[@jakeduke5563]

I agree, perfect wallet for every occasion and it’s slim.

[@cdazzy8441]

I can 100% vouche for this wallet i bought it when i was about 15-16 and am now almost 21 and has always bee my favorite it used to be very beautiful about the 2 year mark but ALOT of accidentally washes and ALOT of sea water has made it quite ugly now i am wanting to buy a new one with the more premium leathers but im also just wanting to go for a change and find a different wallet for a while
