Hammer Anvil RFID Blocking Minimalist Genuine Leather Slim Front Pocket Wallet CH Brown

I've had the wallet for about half a week now and so far I'm impressed with it. Honestly, for the price, I figured I'd get some kind of pleather fake thing that was poorly stitched. However, this at least feels like real leather and the stitiching seems solid.The leather is a bit tight when you first get it so it can be kind of hard to put all of your various cards into it but it holds a surprisingly large amount of stuff even in it's brand new condition.The tightness of the leather keeps even a full wallet feeling very slim and I don't even notice it in my back pocket when sitting.Here is my current wallet contents:LEFT SIDE CARD SLOTS1 credit card1 bank debit card1 drivers license1 military idRIGHT SIDE CARD SLOTS2 restaurant gift cards (same thickness as credit cards)1 library card (very thin)3 medical insurance cards (very thin)6 frequent buyer cards (equivalent to business cards)IN MONEY POUCH5 US billsIt all fits very well and its relatively easy to remove the various things from the various compartments.My only complaint is that the flaps of the bill compartment are a little too tall so the wallet is a bit taller than I would like. If the flaps were about half the height they are (maybe a 1/4" shorter) it would be a perfect leather minimalist wallet.I used to use the Dopp Regatta but at some point the regatta put a open area in the middle of the ID window (so you can remove your id easier) but I don't like the open window (lets my ID get dirtier) so I've been on the hunt for a good minimalist wallet for a while. At the moment this wallet is the best one I've found.If you look at the attached photo you'll see approximately how thick it is when fully loaded. I have more in this than most people would probably want in a minimalist wallet and yet it handles it all like a champ.

This is an awesome wallet for all you minimalists! This is my first day with it, so I can't speak for the durability of the product, but the leather is high quality, and the craftsmanship is excellent, so I don't foresee any issues on that front. As for the design, I think Hammer Anvil nailed it! There are two card slots as well as a larger pocket on each face. The larger pocket fits two cards easily, probably more once it stretches out a little. All the cards are fairly easy to get in and out. There is also a cash pocket sandwiched between the two sides, which is easy to add and remove bills to. At either end of the cash pocket, the seam is stitched only to where the card pocket ends, making a handy flap that allows you to get bills out with ease (see picture). I fit twelve bills in (all I have at the moment) without an issue. Just a note, I bought mine from "Value on Style Store", and shipping was quick (~3 business days)Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, and I will update this review if I have any major problems with the wallet in the near future.

Nice minimalist front pocket design. When I opened the packaging, there was a strong chemical odor. I assume this is from the chrome tanning process. After a week or so, it dissipated and there's no odor.At first the leather was very stiff, but as expected after filling it with cards and cash it's softening and wearing in nicely.This wallet can hold about 6 cards snugly with some room for cash (about 10 bills or so), additional cards, or receipts, etc. in the central pocket. The central pocket is not stitched inside at the sides so you can pry the flaps apart to get at the cash which is recessed inside. Nice design! The central pocket leather is stitched over inside but not at the bottom of the fold, which does leave it susceptible to snagging on bills or cards when you take them out, possibly tearing the seam/stitches after heavy use. Would have been nice if they stitched it at the bottom of the foldover.I wouldn't recommend trying to put more than 1 card in each outside pocket, or you risk over stretching it.I'm not sure of the leather grade but it is not full-grain; it's Genuine Leather or top-grain, as the grain is not natural and is stamped into the leather.This wallet is a near-perfect front-pocket design for those looking to hold a little cash and 6 cards or less.

I like the design, but the stitching hasn't held up. I had my last wallet for about 10 years (very similar design). The only reason I decided to replace it was that the leather was starting to look pretty worn (a little ragged). This wallet, while I like the design and it seems like a good brand, the stitching has not held up at all. Even with light use, the stitching between the different card departments has ripped after only a couple months, and I'm considering switching back to my old wallet (or maybe some sort of alternative wallet that isn't sewn/leather). It's a nice looking wallet, and maybe you'll have better luck than me. Again great design, just poor production quality.Update 10/20/15: I can't use this wallet anymore. I officially switched back to my decade-old wallet (for the time being), as the stitching in this wallet has given way and makes it difficult to pull out cards from some of the pockets. The leather has held up nicely though... still looks great, just not functional.
