Trayvax Original Wallet
At first glance, you might not guess this product is a wallet, what with the finger grip along one edge and the MIL-SPEC paracord woven through the body.

Ekster Senate + Tracker Minimal Wallet
If you wanted to describe this wallet in one word, it would be elite, although the “E” on the elastic band stands for Ekster. Let’s start with the ultra-slim profile, which nonetheless accommodates 7 cards, cash, and coins. Then there’s the push-button card ejector so you don’t have to go digging for plastic.

If you just can’t condense to a couple of cards, this is the slim, sleek wallet that will accommodate a little extra in your everyday carry. – Buy It
Trove Wallet

A low-waste design and stylish leather make this one simple wallet with supreme functionality. – Buy It
Tanner Goods Utility Bifold
This lean, leather billfold is a beauty to behold thanks to smooth, supple Meridian English Bridle leather that has been burnished, dyed, waxed, and stamped by hand. As for utility, two card pockets punctuate each inner fold (four total), and while the longer section for bills features center loading (instead of more convenient top-load functionality), those who don’t mind folding bills will have no problem. If traditional styling is your cup of tea, Tanner Goods delivers with this simple wallet. – $100
American Bench Craft Hammer Riveted Wallet
Nothing says traditional elegance like leather and rivets, as you know from your visits to hoity-toity country clubs and the dean’s office – harrumph. Luckily, this wallet offers all the class and none of the stuffiness associated with this long-lived styling combo. You’ll notice immediately that the single swath of die-cut, full grain leather features no stitching whatsoever. The two folded card pockets and two inside pockets are held in place by just six polished metal rivets. It’s simple, beautiful, and it holds up to 18 cards total. – Buy It
Ezra Arthur Cash Fold Wallet
This Horween leather, trifold wallet is about as simple as folding cash and putting it in your pocket, only this method is a lot more stylish. There’s really no room for cards – you can get a separate wallet for those. This is literally just a strip of leather the size of a dollar bill that you lay your cash on before flipping up a flap to hold it in place at one end and then folding the body in thirds. With that, your cash is encased in a protective leather sheath that comes in colors ranging from black and brown, to navy and green, to whiskey and merlot. – Buy It
Best Made German-Leather Billfold
Germans may be best known for beer, brats, and engineering, but anyone who loves the feel of rich leather will have to give props to Germany for this Sonnenleder gem in buttery, golden-brown leather. It’s the product of seven generations of tanners, and experience counts for a lot. An exclusive plant-based recipe for vegetable tanning not only creates luxuriously soft leather, but also imparts a pleasant scent. Even so, the leather is exceedingly durable. It includes six card slots and a compartment for your Euros. – Buy It
WP Standard Picker’s Wallet
Some men want a wallet with a built-in bottle opener. Some want one with multitool capabilities. There’s no shortage of neat extras – if only there was one that could do my taxes! For guys that like to strum a guitar, the Picker’s Wallet is definitely the way to go. Not only does it feature the standard card slots (2 on one side plus a clear ID pocket on the other side) and a center pocket for dough, but there’s a handy slot for your guitar pick front and center, so you’ll never again have to dig for it in a credit card slot. – Buy It
Tumi ID Lock Double Billfold
Tumi makes some mighty find luggage, so it’s no surprise they’d make wallets, as well.

Two leather lined bill sections allow you to split small and large denominations and eight card slots ensure adequate capacity for your plastics. – Buy It
Jack Mason Leather Front Pocket Wallet
Vertically slim and terribly trim, this wallet in durable, full grain leather is designed to go unnoticed when slipped into your front pocket. On the outside, it appears to be little more than a standard, brown, leather billfold, but open it up to find clever details, such as a curvy card slot shaped like a Texas longhorn’s dome, as well as red, white, and blue stitching details. Four cards slots and 2 paper pockets make for a modest interior, and RFID protections round out the roster of features. – Buy It
Hitch & Timber Flat Jack Wallet

TGT Deluxe Wallet
This versatile wallet in ultra-soft, premium Italian leather, paired with elastic and durable canvas is perfect for the man who has a few things to carry, but doesn’t want a lot of added bulk. Side-by-side pockets for cards and cash mean this wallet won’t fold, but cash can slide into the leather side and cards can go into forgiving, stretch canvas, increasing capacity over less flexible options. It also comes in a slew of colors, from standard black and brown hues to eye-catching cherry red, and army green. – Buy It
Harber London Card Wallet
This ultra-slim vertical wallet is designed for front or back pocket wear for anyone looking to reduce bulk. So you might be surprised to learn that you could squeeze up to 16 cards in this baby.

Full grain cowhide ensures resilience, and each wallet is handmade by expert craftsmen in Spain. Mi amor! – Buy It
Trayvax Summit Minimalist Wallet
Another offering from Trayvax (see the Original and Element wallets above), this is easily the most digestible design for traditional wallet aficionados. Still, it’s something you probably won’t find anywhere else, thanks to a card holder that amounts to little more than a melonite-finished, stainless steel framework paired with a nylon webbing strap to hold in up to eight cards and five bills.

Lean Essentials Wallet

Stash up to five cards in the center slot and slide just a couple preferred cards or cash into the front slot for easy access. – Buy It
Noise Goods Cardholder
This single-slot card holder looks like an open envelope ready to receive your bank cards and bundled bills.

This card holder only houses six cards, but that’s enough for the average minimalist seeking a streamline, EDC wallet. – Buy It
Madera Union Slim Wood Wallet
A minimalist wallet made from wood, this walnut shell has been hollowed out on one side like an old-school canoe with a recessed cavity just big enough to hold a few cards (up to six) and a bit of cash. The front is open for quick access, but personal items are held in place with the help of a flexible, rubber strap. As long as you don’t overstuff, you’ll enjoy an ultra-slim profile and sleek styling that easily slides in your pocket. RFID plating protects any cards within. – Buy It
Tanner Goods Journeyman
For the minimalists among us, the four card slots and center cash console featured in this slender and sleek wallet are more than enough to accommodate EDC must-haves. However, practical doesn’t have to mean primitive. The Meridian English Bridle leather practically begs to be fondled, and the downward curving slots make cards easy to pull from their sheaths with a flick of the thumb. Slim and sturdy, the idea for this wallet came from Tanner Goods retail staffers and made enough sense to develop. You’re welcome. – Buy It
The Moneywrap
Smart and small, this wallet is designed with the modern man in mind. Soft, flexible, cowhide leather won’t poke your pockets or scratch your iPhone and you’ll get three durable, replaceable elastic straps to keep your cash cargo contained.

The idea behind Moneywrap isn’t new, but the streamlined styling and secure band ensure your wad of cash stays put. – Buy It
Leffot Fold Wallet
At first glance, this wallet looks like a top-heavy “T” in soft, pliable “horse ass leather” (that’s according to the manufacturer), but its simplicity is startlingly sophisticated. All you have to do is place your cash and cards on the larger section of flat, Horween leather, then fold up the dangling leg of the “T” before folding both sides in toward the center. Voila! Your loose cash is secured and ready to tuck away in your pants pocket of choice. – Buy It

You’ll also get one free replacement within five years for damage that renders the product unusable. – Buy It
Orvis American Bison Hipster Wallet
The Native Americans used every part of the bison, including its enduring hide, but these days cows are more readily available.
