Mitchell Leather Money Clip Wallet is as perfect a cash/card wallet you can get

QOTD: ⚡ I know several in the community own this wallet, what's been your experience?

[@Richard_Barnes]

Love it. Awesome wallet even with UK notes in it. Mine is Dublin leather and has worn very well. I ended up with a split of cards across the 4 slots but left one front slot for one debit card only so it didn’t stretch out. That’s how I liked it. 😀👍🏻

[@kevincannon771]

I’m a big fan of the MCW. Got mine a few months ago, I got the “base” cowhide model in brown, and it looks great. I notice you got yours without the Mitchell logo...to each his own, but I happen to think the logo looks incredibly cool. Works very well as a front pocket wallet. Wish I had gotten it sooner...one day I might try getting one made with one of their exotic leathers.

Hands down my favorite wallet of all time. My wife bought me one a year ago as a gift. I have three criteria I look for in a wallet. It needs to be leather, it needs to carry cash without having to fold it into origami, and it needs to be small enough to carry in a front pocket. For someone like me who uses cash but wants a thin front pocket wallet, it doesn’t get better than this! Thanks for your review, she found it while looking for a gift to get me!

I got this wallet for christmas 2020. The cobalt blue horween dublin. I accidentally ran it through the wash, left in there overnight, and when it was discovered in the morning I simply let it air dry, smacked some mink oil on it & it was better then new. Over time the leather will conform to the shape of your cards & really makes it seem like it’s YOUR wallet. The monogramming is well done & a nice touch. On the whole it’s a great wallet & any choice of leather will be a good one. It looks better then the day i got it & expect it to hold up for years to come.

Nice 👍. I have owned this wallet for a number of years now, to put it simply it is a beautiful/fantastic wallet. It can hold up to eight cards but works best with four AND the money clip it out of this world quality. I purchased the MCW-Premium Big Grain Bison (buffalo) in black cherry color and it looks even better with age. Mitchell have outstanding customer service and are prompt to contact. Highly recommend the Mitchell money clip wallet. 👍👍👍👍

One quick tip - to put notes back in, fold them once and just hook it over the money clip and pull down. Very quick and very easy. 👍🏻🙂 Awesome wallet these are. I do use mine for UK notes and even with the wider notes I still like it. Not so good with our new polymer cash notes as they slide too much. 👌🏻

[@walletopia]

Ah, great idea, very quick! Yes, I'm interested in getting my hand on the new polymer notes to see how they act/react to wallets.

[@Sirgromulus]

I have owned and used this money clip wallet exclusively for over ten years now and am only now looking to replace it. I am a sucker for Horween CXL leather and this wallet is no exception. For the record I own several other leather items by Mitchell Leather and the quality and aesthetics are exceptional. Even after a decade of constant daily use (including several inadvertent washing machine cycles) I can say this wallet has stellar durability. Not a single rip nor torn/unraveled stitch. The money clip works as well as it did on day one. I am only now looking to replace it since (in my old age) I find it a bit too thick when carrying 8 or so cards. The horizontal card placement and "stepped" design makes it a bit thicker than I would like for front pocket carry. I wish they offered a vertical/portrait version with the money clip. Based on your excellent and unbiased reviews (as well as others) I recently ordered a Taurus Camp BaseWallet and am looking forward to receiving and using it. Thanks for your great reviews Mark!

[@adamrobertson2048]

I own two of these wallets and just ordered my third they are that good. I used to carry more cards so my older ones my now 4 card daily carry wants to fall out. I will say that you are inaccurate when describing other mechanical money clips. They function the same exact way just have less tension. I have made my own money clip wallets using very chip mechanical money clips and I can slide them in and out just the same as you did in this video.

I've had mine for 4 years now and its held up well. I'm thinking of switching to an allet or Tom Bihn some time soon, as the metal parts of the exterior dig into my leg when I sit if I wear slimmer pants. No complaints otherwise though.

Hi everyone, I am considering getting the MCW - Ltd. Edition Cobalt Blue Horween Dublin, however wanted to know from others a few questions. Does this blue version potentially fade or bleed into the wallet/how it holds up if you have something similar? In addition is a particular version of leather better then others in their website if you have shopped in it prior? Thank you for fielding my questions!

[@smaugtheterrible5021]

I got this wallet for christmas 2020. The blue doesn’t “fade” necessarily, it does patina very nicely however. I accidentally ran it through the wash, left in there overnight, and when it was discovered in the morning I simply let it air dry, smacked some mink oil on it & it was better then new. Over time the leather will conform to the shape of your cards & really makes it seem like it’s YOUR wallet. The monogramming is well done & a nice touch. In terms of the various leathers & their respective quality. They are all from Horween so quality is too notch. -The shell cordovan is the most expensive & the finest leather in the world. I won’t do it the injustice of trying to describe. It is rarely in stock. -The buffalo leather will be durable as sin if you’re particularly concerned about that. -The blue wallet & others are the dublin leather, a Vegetable tanned leather that is oh so very nice. -The chromexcel wallets are combo veg/chrome tanned leather. Also a very nice choice, although lacking some of the “pull up” qualities of dublin. This leather will be slightly more friendly with water. TL;DR On the whole it’s a great wallet & any choice of leather will be a good one. It looks better then the day i got it & expect it to hold up for years to come.

[@Ledehone]

Hi Mark! The 20€ bill measures 72 mm in width, which is less that 3". Will it poke out on either side, even if you make sure that the bills are completely straight? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work :)

[@walletopia]

Hey, thanks for the question! I just tested it and it works fine, when straight it doesn't poke out top or bottom

[@hiddenleaf414]

It’s been a year so you probably won’t see this. This review convinced me to buy the wallet, as I was checking out I noticed in their story on their website they come from Milwaukee, WI, which is where I’m from! So I called them up and went to visit them locally! The owner gave my friend and I a tour of the whole place and the process he would go through to make my wallet. He even let me choose what cut of the leather I wanted and the interior leather!

Great video from a usability perspective would you say you would go with the Capone wallet since the Mitchell does not have a quick access card slot? Or would you recommend the MCW?

[@daramon64]

I bought this wallet (Cobalt Blue) 5 years ago. There are two other wallets that I have and use them occasionally but I always find my way back to my Mitchell wallet. The wallet stays thin with 7 cards and a few bills. There have been times I've patted my front pocket just to make sure it's there.

That color sounds great! It truly is a wonderful wallet.

[@kevinkarnes4067]

This seems like an excellent combination of modern minimalist and traditional leather. But every leather wallet I've ever had left some adhesive residue on the corner of a card from the very edge of the slot. Is this going to be a problem with the Mitchell?

Was the note peeking out a little or was it just under? Cheers

[@njamesthomasl]

Byron Vanstien a £20 would only sneak out a couple of mm. it’s not a big deal and I probably regret moving it on. The clip, quality, look and feel are all top draw. If there was a European version that was just a few mm taller it would be perfect. I emailed to order mine and the service was awesome. Just note that when it came into the UK i had to pay tax before it was released so the cost was higher than expected.

[@byronvanstien962]

@@njamesthomasl you're still in the UK? The new polymer notes have been smaller than the old paper stuff - if the £20 is only a slight bit taller than the wallet the new one should fit ;) Cheers for the heads up about the import tax, I probably need to calm down on wallet buying now anyways... been trying to find the perfect one and I'm through an Aurochs and a Saddleback now and I'm still looking :(

Popov and Ashland are similar with 2 external pockets and 2 internal. Same clip (inferior IMO to Mitchell/Farrah). Popov is a slightly smaller and thinner. Ashland may have a bit more capacity.

[@canyonoverlook9937]

How thick would this be with 6 cards, 2 on the top on each side and 1 on the bottom on each side and no cash? How thick would it be with 8 cards and no cash? I am looking for a wallet with 4 slots that I can pick 4 cards and then have the others hidden. I don't want to search for cards.

[@MrGreed2000]

I had this exact wallet for about 4 years and over time the cards would fall out of the slots. Want to purchase another one, is there any way you can prevent this issue moving forward?

[@walletopia]

Was this due to you backing off the number of cards you had in it originally? That's the problem with most leathers (calf-skins is more forgiving), once you stretch it, it's hard to reduce the number of cards as the pocket is now loose.

[@MrGreed2000]

@@walletopia Could be I did reduce the number of cards. Just sad because i loved using it but had to stop bc of the cards falling out. Have you ever considered reviewing Makr wallets such as the Landscape?

[@walletopia]

Some manufacturers say you can put your leather in water and it will shrink back, some say it ruins it. I do know several recommend water soaking to accelerate the break in period so I'm sure it's not too bad on the leather. Thanks for the referral on the Makr wallet, very interesting!

[@md-ku7ej]

@@MrGreed2000- with any wallet, if you put more cards in any of the slots the leather will "get used to" that amount and stretch to accommodate. So you can always add a card but then not really take them away. It's always best to keep a consistent number of cards in the slots.

Seems like after months of usage, all MLMC wallets will be out of shape( because of the cards).

[@walletopia]

Yes, they will. It seems to be the case with most wallets, except for one I just reviewed and will be published in a month or so. Called "The Wallet" from Farrah Design in Australia, he designed it so there's a thick piece of leather which acts as the outside piece and thinner cut of Kangaroo leather which is super strong for its weight on the inside which holds the cards. All the moulding happens on the inside of the wallet with the Kangaroo leather and never shows on the outside. Very good thinking on his part to keep the wallet looking good while still developing a great patina.
