[@Frizzlefry7]

Was waiting on this one, Thanks Mark! 😎

[@landmarkleather]

These videos are fantastic. Literally nobody else does this.

How insane a channel dedicated to how to muse a wallet, next charmin of other

[@moeharri]

Thanks for another informative review. I don't know if you mentioned it already or not, but you used to use fountain pens in your videos (all Pelikan?) and no longer do. What was the reason for stopping that? By the way, Pelikan makes stunning pens; I have an M805 Stresemann myself.

I've looked a so many bellroy wallets and imo none beat the flip case, I know that's probably not a popular opinion but I just really like the hardshell design. I work in some pretty tough conditions and a normal wallet like this would be ripped to shreds. I have a V1 tho so the issue with embossed (thankfully I only have 1 card that is embossed). Trouble is I have yet to find anything close to it outside of sketchy wallets on like shein, temu or aliexpress. With the exception being maybe the pelican wallet but it's quite bulky. I could see myself using something like this when I'm not working though.

Hi Mark, do you know if they will bring back the Micro Sleeve? micro sleeve V2 maybe?

[@bonjbonc]

Wow I can spot Ringgit Malaysia there ❤❤❤

I think you should test wallets that has magnets also with metal cards.

[@zhuzai86]

Those leather crack turn me off.

[@1977NOBODY]

I just can’t buy wallets from big companies anymore……Not when I can get a handmade and hand stitched wallet from a company like open sea leather.

[@lowspeak]

Same, bellroy looks pretty plastic-y too

[@ahmedaffan3095]

Full grain too…rather than plastic leather

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

@@ahmedaffan3095 it is a top grain leather. All their wallets are top grain which is just as good quality as full grain. The leather maker Rose anvil actually took apart one of Belroy’s wallets and was pretty impressed by it.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

@@ahmedaffan3095 it’s not plastic leather. It’s made out of top grain leather. That’s why it looks smooth.

[@mccrimmon574ify]

Looks like a cheap popov 5 card at same price easy pick

[@barndroid]

Popov does not finish the edges nor line their wallets nearly as nice.

[@lowspeak]

​​@@barndroidTheir finishing is roughhh

[@ahmedaffan3095]

@@barndroidthey dont put paint though. Although burnishing is not done in popov wallets, it will naturally burnish as it is full grain leather

[@nirvana3677]

Seems like after you put in the bank notes, the closure is not aligned properly. Is it because it interferes with the spine? Pls advice as I really wna get this 🫡
