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. 😀👍🏻

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.

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!

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.

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!
@smaugtheterrible50213 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
