I purchased this wallet with my own money and was not sent to me for review.
But even if it was, I would still give my honest opinion. Getting "free" stuff doesn't sway my opinion either way while reviewing gear.
(Just ask Olight, lol)

I have 2 Finnigan wallets and 3 Thin Finn wallets. Love them all. Nate does excellent work. I put my debit card in the flap area underneath the tuck enclosure as a sort of quick-access pocket. Works great and I've never had it come loose!

[@ChrispyThings]

Nice!

[@rossydv]

I’m this 🤏 close to getting this but fear it’ll be too big for my 5/6 card need. The thin fin is similarly beautiful but I just love the strap on the former! So then there’s the Franklin mini??🤔

[@alanberry2930]

@@rossydv - Of all the LD wallets in my collection, I carry and use the Franklin the most. It's Nate's "Goldilocks" of his wallet lineup and is always in my rotation. Plus, the buck brown leather just keeps getting more beautiful over time.

[@jonathonborges2914]

@@alanberry2930 I cant decide between the Franklin or the Finnigan. I want the Buck Brown color, but not sure what thread color would go best. Im thinking brown thread or caramel. Thoughts?

[@jonathonborges2914]

I really only carry 5-6 cards and maybe cash 5% of the time.

[@markmarangi73]

I have the original Finnigan and I love it. I have the opposite problem that some of you have with the rattling. I actually had to cut down the amount of cards I carry. A piece of advice for the rattling is to get two or three gift cards. They’ll fill the gap and you’ll have some emergency funds if you ever need it.

[@davidkopatz8270]

I ordered mine yesterday and can't wait to get it!

[@rossydv]

What’s the verdict? I ordered one yesterday.

[@jingledubz3989]

Been waiting for this review! Nice review as always! I have the Casey from Lost Dutchman, and really like it. Nate does great work! 👍

[@lostdutchmanleather]

Thanks for the review man!

[@luisbarrera5740]

What I do to have 2 quick access cards (debit and I.D.) is as follows. I insert the flap over those 2 cards and into the body. ID is behind debit card. The flap is grippy enough so that an upwards tug at the flap makes the id card shift up. Boom! Instant access. And what about that loose strap you say? Well...fold some cash over and it makes for a great improvised leather money clip.

[@richardburkow3792]

This looked so nice, I just bought one! Thanks for the review.

[@conwaystern911]

I have a Thin Finn and love it. I will be getting another one for brother.

[@dv95678]

I received the Finnigan by the Lost Dutchman as a birthday gift. At first glance, it was odd to go from a simple 4-sided small wallet to this simpler Finnigan wallet. I'm sure I'll get use to it and will learn not to carry any unnecessary paper because there's no place to put it. It's a positive switch though!

[@clownd2]

I daily a finnigan and love it.

[@rizzo9247]

My current carry, love it! Only negative is I wish it had a quick access slot but there’s the big Finn for that!

[@ChrispyThings]

A quick access would be a game changer on this.

[@rossydv]

Just got my Finnigan. Love it. But I’d be interested in a review of The Skinny Dutchman. Can’t find any.

[@Spartan7476]

You should get the Big Finn from Lost Dutchman, it has a quick access slot. It also can hold cash halved.

[@ChrispyThings]

Definitely!

[@jonathancaldentey4615]

The rattle goes away pretty quick honestly. Remember the leather will flatten and shape itself to the cards within a couple uses.

[@zvonimirbertic2531]

Great video as allways and nice wallet. And yes....up the irons.

[@fara.r.8181]

Reminds me of pouches for Nokia phones in the 2004-2005 era.

[@Andrew-gm6cl]

you can also fold the cash into thirds, it still fits and isn't as thick

[@hepgeoff]

So I bought the Finnigan, and since I only carry about 6 cards, it rattles like you show here. I rarely carry cash. I kind of wish I bought the Thin Finn instead. But I still like it. Only other negative is there isn't much of a leather smell, unlike my Correa Creative model 3 wallet, which smells amazing.

[@rossydv]

Do you still wish you’d got the thin fin? I can’t decide as I only carry about 5-6 cards but just love the strap.

[@hepgeoff]

I ending up buying the Finnigan and Thin Finn. I alternate between the two.

[@kylekenney2291]

You should check out the Franklin by lost Dutchman

[@wagstaff6135]

Try the Thin Finn for really minimal -- like your carry situation. I love the Big Finn, but I carry cards and cash.

[@rossydv]

Just ordered one today also in buck brown

[@ssjones350]

Looks super inconvenient for cash. I'm a All-Ett fan

[@RGMX92]

Just got 1. Love the feel of it.

[@rlr05091987]

Great review. Thanks for the effort.

[@dfordfl]

I think it is a gorgeous wallet but do you think the lever type wallet is better????

[@ChrispyThings]

Lever type? What do you mean?

[@hepgeoff]

Nice review! I only carry about 6 cards, too, so I may opt for the Thin Finn instead.

[@rossydv]

What’d you get?

[@hepgeoff]

I got the Thin Finn and the Finnigan. Like them both.

[@rossydv]

@@hepgeoff would the Finnigan be too big for 5-6 Cards?

[@hepgeoff]

If you only carry 5 or 6 cards, and no cash, I think the Finnigan is slightly too big. When I carry 5-6 cards in it, the cards rattle around a bit.

[@bhbecca]

I have 8 cards total that include my driver's License, Insurance card and Triple-A. I carry about $300 in cash with me-- seems like that's not an issue for this wallet,

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

Lost Dutchman has great products the only downside to the company and not really a problem because the prices are great for the quality is they don’t offer discounts or promo codes.. when you go online to search for promo codes or discount codes they don’t work so that gets a thumbs down but the quality is definitely without a doubt 5 thumbs up just like your review 👍🏼

[@ChrispyThings]

Yeah I don’t see discounts for Lost Dutchman. But honestly I don’t expect discounts from smaller companies. Most of them are literally just one guy making everything by hand. It they were a larger company such as The Ridge or Dango, even Trayvax then yes I’d want a discount code from time to time

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

@@ChrispyThings yes I understand as well .. I have a couple of his wallets, they’re great and watch all of your reviews by the way . You have a great channel..keep the great video reviews coming 👍🏼

[@rossydv]

I just ordered buck brown but this seems a little darker than on their page. Is it darker in your video?

[@jayvan4353]

Could possibly get it wet and form it around your desired set up. Wallet is cool but the shirt is cooler!

[@krunchyt4co293]

I have 2 wallets from Nate !

[@ChrispyThings]

I still only have the one, but plan on doing more videos with his wallets. Nice stuff

[@mikelindeman9755]

Nice wallet. Almost as nice as that shirt.

[@ChrispyThings]

Thanks!

[@jonathonborges8023]

Would you go finnigan or Franklin model?

[@TB-sf3lc]

Don’t know if you already ordered but Finnigan for sure. Also, he stated the cards rattle if you don’t fill it but eventually the leather molds to the number of cards you carry so you won’t have that problem if you carry less.

[@kylekenney2291]

if you have a work ID in the wallet, can you tap to open doors or would you have to take the card out?

[@ChrispyThings]

Technically yes because this wallet isn’t RFID protected. But that card would need to be right at the very end of the wallet. Some terminals require an actual “tap” of the card though. In that case definitely not

[@kylekenney2291]

@@ChrispyThings at the end works good enough for me! thank you for the reply, just ordered mine last night
