I was between gettin a bellroy or vionentus, but definetely got the vionentus bc it adjust better for my interests! 😬 You have to seek for the quality and your needs, how many cards you need to carry, the cash, and also if you use an AirTag
I got a natural grain wllet cards version. oh man this is fantastic! so slim and carries all the cards needed and so much functional than any other wallets i used in my life time!
You are a man of taste obviously and as a German this video is typically precise and exact!. BTW I own a wallet by the German brand Braun Buffel .I have just ordered this one in saddle-tan. Regards Bob.
Great review! definitely going to get the cordovan version. The patina is beautiful! I have both base wallet and grain wallet from Tauruscamp and have been using grain wallet for the last two years. Absolutely a unique design and works perfectly for my daily carry. The key slot is super useful. I carry my house key in it, a few coins, 6-7 cards and some bills. I put my daily card in front of the flap. what else you could ask for! brilliant concept. haven't seen any other wallet like this before. Simply this will stay with me for a long time even though I have a collection of many wallets in my shelf.
The Wallet is such an enigmatic part of the everyman’s EDC. Most of us genuinely hate the wallet we carry for reasons we never speak of simply due to the fact that we don’t know how to address or fix the issues, and even if we do, we don’t care enough to do so. It is so hard to find a good wallet because we have a wallet we have and we know what we know and we stick with our crappy wallet for years until we get gifted an even crappier one at Christmas. This crappy Christmas wallet ALWAYS ends up inspiring us to replace our existing wallet with a new, better wallet… which we still end up hating.
Aw man you made me shell out money to buy the grain wallet in « regular » leather and I absolutely love it… but now I will have to order a new one from Sajid in Shell Cordovan 😂
I put my key (just the house key since i dont have vehicles) in my wallet when i go out and wear shorts and dont wanna carry a bag. Cant just put a single key in my pocket now right? That'll just fall when you sit down
Thin finn is my favorite. I have a couple of them. I actually have a stock & barrel #68 wallet I got more than a year ago for xmas and only carried like a day or 2. I just conditioned it and will use it for a bit now. Lost dutchman is definitely awesome though. Same with popov leather
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 I have a quick question: 🤷♂️ I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷♀️
Tony Perotti makes some good ones, they feel and look very premium. Had one wallet for almost 10 years it got so beautiful the older it got. Just bought a new one because i wanted a smaller one, they are high quality and priced fairly.
Really like it but the space for bank notes seems quite limited and I am not such a fan of folding every note before storing it away. Otherwise super, especially the nice leather and the total lack of zippers and buttons. So elegant.
I think you should look at the trove wallets made in England it’s the size of the ridge wallet but has full cash and coin compatibility. I am torn between these wallets, my trove, and my open sea leather wallet. I think all three are my favorite lol.
I can related to the sitting on the wallet thing, I realized I instinctively take wallet out and put it on the table whenever I seat for more than 5 minutes unless it's in some crowded public transit with no where to put
Never had any leaks. The Top of the pen rubbs of against the lid over time, but its just a bit of discoloration on the inside. Nothing I am concerned about.
Hi. This wallet looks awesome. Do you know if it is is the small (7cm) or standard size (8cm)? Like the idea of the smaller one but don’t know if British notes will fit ok
I got 3 wallets, a fold wallet, a pouch wallet & a simple card holder. I use the pouch wallet the most, because it can store up to 12 cards, a lot of paper bills & coins.
After mine broke in it was just like the owner shows how it just come out. No problem just the best Wallet made from top quality leathers. If it wasn't the best it wouldn't have so many competitors trying duplicate it.
If you like these type of wallets. I just got a beautiful wallet from a company called Open Sea Leather Co. Very unique designs and minimalistic super high quality leather.
I got the ETSY version of this for US$41 including international shipping. It's nice but I think that the Willow Craft Goods Swaddle wallet with its 3 different sizes and the ability to change the configuration yourself is the best leather wallet in existence.
Well organized and argued video. However, that wallet isn’t for me. Besides the flap being a showstopper I don’t want to dig and tuck when using it. Insofar as the coin issue….simple solution, I decline coin.
Great reiview, thank you. Lovely wallet, but my search for something smaller than my Bellroy card sleeve continues. As I use no cash, or coins whatsoever, I have yet to find any leather wallet that can hold my six essential cards in a package smaller than my Bellroy. The workanship and quality in your wallet is amazing. I do love the key slot. I guess my dream wallet would be my Bellroy made with shell cordovan and hand stitched.
LOL, 🤣of course a free shell cordovan wallet will be the best. Get outta here. 🤦🏻♂ I will say that Tauruscamp make some fantastic wallets. They always review well and do look incredible. I've had my eye on one for so long to add to my shell collection.
2:17 As a GP I can attest that most people of your age have a form of generalised scoliosis. This factor plays no role in your review of a wallet. Perhaps you are getting a no disclosed kickback. Shame on you.
The thickness alone shows it won’t last a 10 years without tear unless if you are not using everyday or if it’s at your front pocket. The patina as well is not as great as horween of ashland
Love the Secrid wallet and I still keep mine around. Looks fantastic and is just fun to use. Sadly though, its just hard to live without a coin pocket here in germany. Plus having a handmade wallet form Singapore is just kinda cool.
I’m sorry my friend but this wallet make no sense.. Yes it’s made of leather and yes it it a handmade piece but… This is a leather bag and if you compare to a real wallet it’s nothing but a piece from preindustrial era. And again, there is a price tag attached to it that I can’t justify to spend on a something like this. 😊
Bellroy wallets are way better IMO. Better construction, good leather and a far more useful design. This one looks like it uses great leather, but doesn't seem very practical in terms of taking cards out easily.
Never really had any issues with mine but yes, it can get a bit fiddly when its really packed. I also have a Bellroy Card Pocket. Its my favorite travel wallet for when I go overseas since it has an extra slot to house my SIM-Card. For my day to day stuff, I prefer the TaurusCamp. I love the layout, the design and especially the quality. The wallet overall has a ton of personality. But at the end of the day, its all personal preference.
do you have any thoughts on the Vionentus wallet??? I'm thinking about gettin one, I've heard so many great things about them
I was between gettin a bellroy or vionentus, but definetely got the vionentus bc it adjust better for my interests! 😬 You have to seek for the quality and your needs, how many cards you need to carry, the cash, and also if you use an AirTag
Great choice if you're gonna get it!
Maybe you could watch some EDC videos too, they recommend some good ones and you can see the details
@@LukmanMannir the vionentus is not in the same league as this wallet they look to be sure cheap in materials and build?
@@Jasondranoff Hey man, I got it and it works for me, in my opinion the relation between price and quality is fair and good
I've spent hours watching videos trying to find the best wallet for my son-thank you! Going to buy for Christmas!

Any updates about grain vs cordovan?
I have owned the grain wallet. But after watching your review I think I’ll get the cordovan premium leather version. Thank you so much.

Sorry about that :D. You won't regret it though, its fantastic!
@@TobisTings what leather is the shell Cordovan?
@@TobisTingsWhat is sajid?
@@Criticalmaze Sajid is the owner and craftsman of the Tauruscamp wallets. Stand up guy!
Damn! Me too.Ordered the cheaper leather but now I want the Shell Cordovan,I have a pair of loafer shoes in Horween shell made by G.H.Bass in USA.
Great video man!! Actually thinking about changing mine to the last one you share, it looks pretty compact
never understood carrying a key with ur wallet. get ur wallet stolen or lost and they got ur address and a way to get into ur house
Most pickpockets aren't burglars.
Also, getting the locks changed isn't the most expensive thing that comes with losing your wallet.
I put my key (just the house key since i dont have vehicles) in my wallet when i go out and wear shorts and dont wanna carry a bag. Cant just put a single key in my pocket now right? That'll just fall when you sit down
Its a matter of convenience. The world always has its pros and cons. Relax a bit 😅
He is correct. Times have changed. Thieves will absolutely get the key and go to your house. I've seen it happen many times.
Don't lose your wallet...
My personal favorite is the lost dutchman finnigan wallet. Fits so good in your front pocket you sometimes forget it's there
Just looked it up. Beautiful wallet!
Thin finn is my favorite. I have a couple of them. I actually have a stock & barrel #68 wallet I got more than a year ago for xmas and only carried like a day or 2. I just conditioned it and will use it for a bit now. Lost dutchman is definitely awesome though. Same with popov leather
Just got mine in natural shell and it’s beautiful. Can’t wait for it to gain some character over the months and years. Thanks for the review!
Freut mich dass Tauruscamp immer bekannter wird, ich sollte mir auch Mal die Shell Cordovan Variante kaufen wenn ich genug Geld übrig habe
I love my Natural Shell Johnny Slim wallet from Loyal Stricklin.
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 I have a quick question: 🤷♂️ I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷♀️
Hi, what size is the shell cordovan wallet 7cm or 8cm?
They have 2 sizes, what is the size of the wallet you reviewed ?
Tobi, deine Videos bringen mir Frieden 👌😅
Freut mich! :D
The design of this wallet is way too freaking cool.
Nice looking wallet. Happy with my swaddle wallet still.
Tony Perotti makes some good ones, they feel and look very premium. Had one wallet for almost 10 years it got so beautiful the older it got. Just bought a new one because i wanted a smaller one, they are high quality and priced fairly.

Hello, great review, would you mind to share the link to buy that pen? Thanks man
is this the small or standard that you have? looks like a great wallet
my fav wallet is a 3rd Key wallet, but this one is way cool. i am a sucker for shell!
Look like the perfect wallet. Time to save up.
What is the size of this wallet? They offer small and standard
Great video, but where is the mini twisty pen from? TYSM!
Company in Canada offers similar wallet with premium leather, made in Nelson BC, Canada.
Hello. Do you use leather balm to your old Grain wallet? It sure is so cool looking.
I can related to the sitting on the wallet thing, I realized I instinctively take wallet out and put it on the table whenever I seat for more than 5 minutes unless it's in some crowded public transit with no where to put
A beautiful piece of equipment
Indeed, love it! :)
whats better natural or walnut patina? for the regular grain wallet at least
Nice review. I personally carry the belroy card pocket.
This is a very nice wallet thanks for your review! I’m looking for the perfect one
Would you review the dp leather and steel wingman wallet please ❤
This is tempting me to buy one with key version and that small pen. Does that pen stay as such or does it leak ?
Never had any leaks. The Top of the pen rubbs of against the lid over time, but its just a bit of discoloration on the inside. Nothing I am concerned about.
Hi. This wallet looks awesome. Do you know if it is is the small (7cm) or standard size (8cm)? Like the idea of the smaller one but don’t know if British notes will fit ok
Did you get the small size or the larger size?
I got 3 wallets, a fold wallet, a pouch wallet & a simple card holder. I use the pouch wallet the most, because it can store up to 12 cards, a lot of paper bills & coins.
Definitely trying one :)
what color was your 'regular' leather grain wallet?
Not bad! Dango is the best wallet you can get!
Greetings from Netherlands! Was curious of what pen you have in the wallet.
Yes I would also like to know. Thanks !
@@davidt7609 still haven’t found any identical. Purchased myself the wallet tho. It’s wonderful!
I love my Mitchell Money Clip wallet but I don't need to carry a spare key, coins, or a pen.
What kind of pen is that?
Mitchell Leather Co makes the best . The MCW for over 30 years with different exotic Leathers. It is the best wallet time proven.
have one! Disagree! The clip inside gets annoying when putting cash in ir getting cash out!
After mine broke in it was just like the owner shows how it just come out. No problem just the best Wallet made from top quality leathers. If it wasn't the best it wouldn't have so many competitors trying duplicate it.
If you like these type of wallets. I just got a beautiful wallet from a company called Open Sea Leather Co. Very unique designs and minimalistic super high quality leather.
That's it, you just carry this little cash? Where do you stay in Germany? I'll be stranded in Berlin with that little cash.
Nice wallet! Does it have an RFID blocking Function?
Popov leather is another great company!
Bellroy's slim sleeve is better looking and a more elegant design. Been using mine for a decade.
@AshlandLeather wallets are beautifully crafted and they source their shell cordovan direct from Horween. Highly recommended.
Im using museum buttero leather
Is there any RFID shielding/protection with this wallet?
Do you know if the cheaper version is a full grain leather?
It certainly is. I just received mine. It is Italian vegetable tanned leather, extremely high quality
Hast du einen link für den Kugelschreiber der passt halt perfekt vielleicht sogar Messing oder Bronze?
I got the ETSY version of this for US$41 including international shipping.
It's nice but I think that the Willow Craft Goods Swaddle wallet with its 3 different sizes and the ability to change the configuration yourself is the best leather wallet in existence.
where did u find that? It's close to $90 for me.
€84 for the basic, and the premium is €180 … priced up I guess in time for Xmas 2023
With museum buttero leather i can do $50
The craftsmanship and global quality looks very good but the design is too fancy and sophisticated with too thick leather to be a good wallet imho.
@j.m.3038 Well, I own around 40 wallets, and I disagree with you.
What’s the brand of the wallet please?
How well does it hold up when wet?
Mine got wet many times due to rain, sweat and so on. No issues. It just takes on a stronger patina.
@@TobisTings 😃👍
This wallet look amazing. But I love my bellroy flip case better.
I cant live without backwallets but im looking for better alternative 😅 love from india
Well organized and argued video. However, that wallet isn’t for me. Besides the flap being a showstopper I don’t want to dig and tuck when using it. Insofar as the coin issue….simple solution, I decline coin.
does wallet hold an apple airtag?
How can I find the pattern to make it
lol... a knife and a flashlight?... what are you?.. a sheppard?...😂

Try the Open Sea Leather Gun Deck wallet. Super beautiful, compact, and wonderful to use daily.
Check out some smaller makers! You can always commission someone to make a design very similar to the wallet you carry.
@@les_edc I did indeed do just that. Bought the Mini Franklin from Lost Dutchman. Very pleased with it.
Where did you get the pen that fits in this wallet?
Same question
Is this the 7cm or 8cm??
What is the pen featured here?
Actually i made it self from this wallet model, and i just spend 10 dollar for it 🤣
Hi would you ever consider selling this wallet? 😊thanks!
Would you ever sell your regular one? 😊thanks!
what type of wallet is this ? what's it called ?
Tauruscamp Grain wallet
Currently $190.83 on etsy.
Ein bzw. mehrere verschiedene Wallets die ich ganz besonders finde sind von Kamino Wallet.
That looks hella fidly trying to get cards out.
Get the ridge wallet instead
LOL, 🤣of course a free shell cordovan wallet will be the best. Get outta here. 🤦🏻♂ I will say that Tauruscamp make some fantastic wallets. They always review well and do look incredible. I've had my eye on one for so long to add to my shell collection.
I have wanted one of these wallets for a while too, Richard! It’s such a unique design and the craftsmanship looks great.
The etsy wallet shop closed lol
“Yeah Wass Up” quite possibly the most unnatural opening line I’ve heard on TH-cam….
In short - don't buy this wallet people. Just buy an XSTO wallet to save you headaches
Of course you live in Germany but make videos in English 😂
I want one for free too

Real leather
Did he ever open the wallet?
The thickness alone shows it won’t last a 10 years without tear unless if you are not using everyday or if it’s at your front pocket. The patina as well is not as great as horween of ashland
Beautiful wallet, but could be improved with RFID protection
Next time show the wallet more and not you..
4 seconds in I can already tell it’s way way to big
It looks to big, prefer the Secrid Mini wallet, card management is super easy with Secrid wallets.
Love the Secrid wallet and I still keep mine around. Looks fantastic and is just fun to use. Sadly though, its just hard to live without a coin pocket here in germany. Plus having a handmade wallet form Singapore is just kinda cool.

I used Bellroy wallet.. it just looks flimsy and falls apart after a while. looks like machine stitched.

Rustico Wave Wallet way better andnmore practical
Made is Singapore................forget it !!!
Way too much talking and not enough showing of the wallet.
not really, he showed all the wallet features as it seems. fast forward if you are in a hurry
undestandeable since its such a good looking wallet. Hope you still got all the angles you needed to see. ;)
Nonsense ! A great video .
