Love my Franklin. Got the russet color.. it really is the perfect wallet. Love that it’s stitchless and will last forever!

[@MyNameJim]

the wallet design is fine and it is reasonably priced. but I was sent a wallet with major defects, terrible scars on the leather, and overall just a bad piece that Nate chose to use for my wallet. Kind of a head scratcher. I emailed him twice about it and he never responded. So I gave him notice that I would not be doing business with him anymore...at that point he did respond with "okay." So I can't give anything more than a 2/5 just for the service. Sorry!

[@ChrispyThings]

Scarring on full grain leather is normal. In fact the more scars the better in my opinion. How bad was it?

[@timothyzennie7887]

I will say that I hope my wallet comes nice because I have had similar customer experience as you. The seller is terrible when it comes to responding. I have emailed him twice without response. I ordered mine two weeks ago. After a week, I emailed asking about the status. I then noticed the next day a ticket was made with UPS to start shipping. However, nothing more happened for 5 more days when I received a message that shipping has received product. Hope the product is better than the customer service.

[@timothyzennie7887]

I did receive the wallet and it is a new favorite for sure.

[@alanberry2930]

I ordered one in mid-February during his introductory drop in the Buck Brown color. It's the "Goldilocks" of his lineup. Perfectly sized right in between the Finnigan and the Big Finn without the thickness.

[@Bear502]

Can’t understand comment about well finished edges. They look fuzzy and unfinished. Certainly wouldn’t be happy to receive in that condition

[@ChrispyThings]

The edges looked nice. But the fuzzy edges were coming from the inside that were sort of poking out from what I saw on the wallet

[@hepgeoff]

Nice looking wallet. I like the no stitching. I just bought the Finnigan, otherwise I would definitely consider this.

[@lostdutchmanleather]

Thanks for the review brother!!

[@jingledubz3989]

Great video and review as always! I was definitely interested in this wallet when Nate dropped it. Looks super functional and I like that it’s stitchless. Thanks! 👍

[@tec2224]

I’m really digging this wallet. Thanks for the review

[@Spartan7476]

I picked one up also during the launch and I have three of the Big Finns. All are great.

[@chrisvolnek6805]

I like the look of it. I'd be curious to see what the wallet looks like after a year of wear, in and out of the pocket....

[@ChrispyThings]

It’s made of full grain leather so this wallet will look better after a year of use and wear. It’s guaranteed for life as well 👍🏻

[@keithgreen5177]

I wish it was smaller and not as wide. I carry 5-6 cards and even with cash...the cards move around quite a bit.

[@Pokeonrocks5]

They do have a mini one, but you have to fold cash more.

[@keithgreen5177]

@@Pokeonrocks5 check how long ago I commented lol I’m well aware now

[@kylekenney2291]

got mine and I love it

[@sushantnaik11]

Nice love the wallet. Btw what watch are you wearing, that looks amazing too!

[@ChrispyThings]

A Timex Chronograph Standard. The band is from Popov Leather

[@ryanlavallee6342]

I’m trying to decide between the Franklin and the topsider. Which do you prefer or recommend more. Thanks

[@ChrispyThings]

Tough call man really. The Houbei 2.0 is one of my favorite wallets out right now and that’s part of the Topsider series. But this Franklin has its advantages too

[@ryanlavallee6342]

@@ChrispyThings out of the two you mentioned what would be better carried with 9 cards and cash

[@ryanlavallee6342]

Would you check out the Gondek leather envelope wallet

[@hyssean12]

There is no burnishing on those edges. If there was they wouldn't be fuzzy

[@ChrispyThings]

👍🏻

[@jonathonborges8023]

Would you got this wallet or Reform RE02 if I really only carry 4-5 cards?

[@brigadiamkwanda5474]

Great job my brother that’s wonderful

[@jamesstone7081]

Loved the review of the Franklin! What knives are you displaying during the review?

[@ChrispyThings]

That’s a Vero Neuron in brass.

[@pablonorte77]

Skin cuts are not processed. An inconvenient thing. Barely shoved banknotes

[@yokekitwong6355]

It is good one

[@thisgustin]

the problem i see is this stretching over time and getting too loose if you want to carry or need to carry less one day.

[@ChrispyThings]

That’s a concern with all leather wallets.

[@thisgustin]

Absolutely something to always consider and mention with leather wallets

[@WesternRAM]

@@thisgustinjust buy the Franklin and then the mini Franklin for when you want to carry less lol

[@thisgustin]

@@WesternRAM lol, naw that's too much. Less is better for me/my use.

[@saldomino1639]

You sold me brother ! Hey support my fellow leatherworkers what the Heck !

[@saldomino1639]

Nice Review! Amazing I have made no stitch wallet with snaps but only folds I would have to see the pattern !

[@SpartaButler8875]

First lol

[@ItzRennerz]

Just got one of these in shell cordovan, it’s absolutely awesome!!! A different maker made it but the design is identical

[@rockyhikes3080]

Where did you get one in cordovan?

[@bulbous9000]

I ordered my Franklin from Lost Dutchman the day he released it and it’s been nothing but amazing ever since I’ve received it!

[@bulbous9000]

I also have the big fin but like the Franklin much better.

[@bulbous9000]

I’ve got eight credit cards and 12 bills in mine right now and it holds them all like a champ. It’s honestly not all that much bigger than my ridge carbon fiber. I think this is the Goldilocks of all my wallets.

[@wagstaff6135]

Love this one. It reminds me also of the stitchless, Loyal Stricklin “Johnny” wallet. That one doesn’t have the cash wrap option, and side access to the cash (where I think you could put a credit card for quick access, too, if you wanted). I love that one, too. Not sure but I think the Franklin is slightly bigger, but really the same capacity.

[@leetmango]

I have both the loyal Johnny and the Dutchman Franklin. The Franklin is smaller and holds more while having more pockets and I don’t have to fold my cash. I’ll be giving my Johnny away to a buddy as unfortunately I don’t use it anymore after getting the Franklin. Don’t get me wrong the Johnny is a good wallet but the folded cash functionality makes it a deal breaker for me when the Franklin gives a quick draw option for both cards and cash.

[@wagstaff6135]

@@leetmango thanks for your comment - I really don’t much care about the cash-wrap feature, would likely fold cash in half with both wallets. This is an individual thing, obviously! But I do care about quick access to one or two cards. So wondering if the Johnny would have a problem with retention if putting both folded cash and a card in the “cash pocket”. They’re both really nice looking wallets!
