Just bought the Slim Sleeve Premium in the Aragon colour as Amazon had it on sale at 50% off. I tried the woven nylon version before and wasn't happy because it was too tight and too stiff. Also tried the Pioneer Matter bifold which was even tighter than the Slim Sleeve woven. The Premium is fantastic. It looks and feels as its name suggests, and thanks to being made of leather, it's flexible enough to hold all my cards. Very happy with my purchase and hope to be using it for a long time.
It's really interesting seeing all the changes and revisions they made especially since they're all really small ones that add up over time. The last one that had my interest was the Apex but at the end of the day my slim sleeve from 2013 is still going strong. Bonus points from it being black with blue accent thread for that matter since I think all of them have matching thread these days.
I'm happy to see you review this wallet! I'm unsure if you'll revisist the note sleeve or the hide & seek with their premium editions, but this review should be informative enough for me to make a choice on either of those :)
Thanks Juan, I would consider the others to have similar material and build quality. Due to so many other wallets on the review pile it might take me a while to get to those.
@@kal2210 it’s been a year and I am no expert, but from what I’ve been able to find from shopping around, the biggest difference is the build quality, and the leather itself. For example it is not rolled edges like the original hide and seek. How that is better ? I don’t know, but leatherworkers reviews say rolled is a bit inferior and frays easier. 🤷♂️
Great review. Would you recommend this or the Bellboy Apex Slim Sleeve? I have 9 cards and a few bills and would have it in my front pocket of jeans. Thanks!
I almost got one with a discount last year but bottled it 😂 Looks good though and I prefer this style of the wallet. Thx Mark for showing all currencies. Very thorough 👍🏻🙂 If only they had a better price, they would be at the top of the league with the wallet.
Agreed. I did a comparison between all the Slim Sleeve versions and ultimately, I wish Bellroy would sell the Premium as the "new" Slim Sleeve at the original's price.
I love this review, great job. In your opinion: What's the difference between? 1. Slim Sleeve - $65 2. Apex Slim Sleeve - $130 3. Slim Sleeve Premium Edition - $115 If my budget is $150 - how would I decide?
Bought both this and the regular slim sleeve to compare and choose one to keep. Whilst the premium definitely has an overall better presentation and build, bellroy ruined it by putting that RFID material in there. It crunches and sounds like a plastic bag when you're opening or just handling the wallet, so it drastically cheapens the experience. So while I prefer the look and build of the premium edition, I'm keeping the regular slim sleeve because it doesn't make a cheap and nasty plasticcy sound when in use.
Hello I have a question. I bought this yesterday and when I open it and close it, I hear the crunchy noise you’re referring to. I’m assuming it has to do with the RFID. Is this something I should be concerned about? It came that way out of the box. Would it be defective and would I need a replacement?
I think this is the first Bellroy product I actually like the look of. Still, can get artisan/handmade wallets with substantially the same layout and more certain stitching, with a lower price, even!
Yep, once your educate yourself in to the bowels of the wallet world, a whole new one opens up with leather quality, design excellence and custom made wallets that are reasonably priced.
@@greg6162 HI Greg -- once you start playing around on Instagram and the leathercrafter community, you'll get familiar with literally dozens of leathercrafters. Many have a range from pretty inexpensive to pretty expensive (depending on which model and especially which kind of leather). Willow Craft Goods, Lords Leather, Lost Dutchman, Three Sons Leather, Orraman Leather, Speakeasy Leather, Ikki leather, Viking Craft.... these are not all "price first' recommendations but I think they all tend to range lower than Bellroy, and it's just a bare sniff of list, really -- I know I am leaving too many out
It really bothers me how these slim sleeves sit partially open. Is this just when they are brand new? Should I leave some books on it? Thanks for your informative videos!
If you put only one card in the pocket, does it feel like it could fall out if shaken really hard? Or would you have to pad it with 2 cards to prevent it? The original slim sleeve looks like it would hold one card tighter than this one.
In looking at the ranking sheet there are currently 5 wallets that have received 1’s for price. The Japanese wallets are always pushing that boundary due to currency exchange rates and crazy shipping costs.
Master, I have an existential question, this slim sleeve only scored 1 point below Carl Friedrik Swanfield... If you had to choose between the two, which would it be? Which is the best, both are beautiful but I haven't had a wallet for many years and I don't want to be wrong.
I think the Swanfield might have it beat specifically for the outside quick-access card slot. I have to imagine that its functional convenience would really add up over the years.
Lovely wallet. I like Bellroys stuff. If I had the money I would buy one of everything. I have a few of there bags and they are amazing. Bellroy’s products are not cheap that’s for sure. But to each there own. Mark I was just looking at the slim Dutchman by the lost Dutchman looks like a nice slim bifold. Did you happen to do a review on this wallet?
the wallet can be stuffed up to 12 no doubt but I am not recommended to put more than 9 in there cause the outside will take the shape of the card on the edge and it is permanent T_T I learn the lesson myself, still happy with the original slim sleeve tho
That jazz fusion presentation music is spectacular, but no I'm even more torn between the premium and the recent designer option. I may still go with the newest designer because of the color and lack of RFID
That’s was a teaser....okay it was actually a mistake. As I was putting the post together I accidentally published it which auto triggers my social media pushes. My fault, but yes, it’s coming up very soon! 😇
Other than the materials, the pull tab storage did not work as expected. It was more of a task operating it than what I thought would be atleast a little smooth. 6-8 cards just made it so bulky. The SB is way more functional, gotta love that money clip. And most importantly, quarter the price of the Bellroy.
Hrm it's really 0.5 inches? That's more than a centimeter. So more than twice the regular slim sleeve. So is this a rather not so slim sleeve? I've been eying the premium editions - also the note sleeve premium but if that has grown by the same percentage it's about an inch now. That'd be waaaaaayyy too thick. Hrm an dolt he Designer editions aren't in Stock anymore... I also don't want to get a regular one because for those you can find some amazon reviews of peeling leather quite early lately... I assume the 0.5 inches are at the widest spot around the fold? How thick is it on the opposite side? Does it "feel" a lot thicker?
It did grow a bit, the “Slim” part has evolved more as a marketing thing now than reality. As of now the Note Sleeve Premium is down the list for review. The material and build quality is the same across the Premium line:
@@walletopia okay I'll be getting a regular one for now then since the whole point of me looking at wallets was getting rid of my costanza bifold to do my back some good (and I probably won't stop sitting on it). Thanks for the information
sorry to bother you again with basically the same question but I still wonder if maybe only the spine is quite that thick and that cou can pack quite a bit of other stuff in there before exceeding this just for the rest of the wallet to become equally thick. but that's probably just wishful thinking, right?
Leather versus advanced material, that's what it comes down to. If you're a super active person, around water, dirt or dust, then the Pioneer will do you better. Otherwise, it's a personal preference.
Why are Bellroy so much more expensive than other, similar wallets? The Roik range and the Winston from Wingback are easily the equal of this. I will have to trust that, as you have this in your hand, you can feel the extra money!
No, great comment, you really can’t feel that quality. If this Premium version cost the same as the Slim Sleeve Original ($79) I would say it was a nicely priced wallet, but for $115, you just don’t get the quality. The quality is good which is why it received a 4, but the price wasn’t, thus the 2.
While I like the design, the price tag though... It's a good wallet for those wanting something closer to a "traditional" wallet, though the thumbnail makes it look like one of my old leather passport covers. Great review as usual!
I've have many bellroy I found them expensive for a very thin leather the stitching was very small as a massed produced wallet you could get a very nice hand made wallet for the same price like the Popov 5 card the bellroy are the first wallets I went through I paid my dues with then and just found alot nicer wallets
Absolutely! Bellroy is a good gateway wallet, then once you're learned a bit a whole new world opens up. Being able to have someone hand craft a wallet OF YOUR DESIGN at the broadest on Etsy is the pinnacle.
@@walletopia a whole new addictive world in my case can't believe how many wallets I have trying to find the perfect one just ordered the last wallet u reviewed the turn thanks mark lol
Agreed. Now that they've found the sweet spot for this design, it would be nice if this became their "new" Slim Sleeve along with the original's price.
@@walletopia what your think about note sleeve premium edition is it better than normal edition cause i Wanna order one of them Note: The note sleeve not slim sleeve
I was all prepared to buy this wallet until you pointed out the single stitching on the card holders and no liner. Also you barely pulled on the card holder and the stitching was coming undone
As much as I love leather wallets, I just hate how they stretch. This is a nice wallet, I have the standard slim sleeve. But the stitching/quality is definitely questionable. It doesn't feel as premium as let's say... the Nomad slim wallet, I love that wallet, I wish Nomad would make a wallet design like the Bellroy Slim Sleeve.
How the quality of Nomad leather compare with Bellroy Premium ? still thinking about buying Nomad Card Plus or the Bellroy Slim Sleeve Premium. Which u recomend ?
@@muhammadshafieq3498 Nomad is hands down better quality. Bellroy isn't bad either, it's good stuff. But you can certainly tell the difference in craftsmanship & materials used.
@@tsenif So overall Nomad is better in terms of craftsmanship and materials used? I will go Nomad then. In addition, Bellroy premium is quite expensive in $130 compared to Nomad only $90 😂. So i buy Nomad. Thanks bro
A nice wallet. But cannot handle bigger banknotes, even folded twice. That's for me a major limitation. Don't like to fold banknotes If needed, half at most. Hope you can add a filter for banknote size/country in walletopia explorer site. Keep up the excellent work.
Great idea Paulo. I recently added country of manufacture to the ranking table on the main Walletopia site. I'll look at how we can add note accommodations.
Don’t understand these “slim” design wallets that go into double digits for cards lol. Seems like you’re trying to have it both ways by saying “this is a slim wallet! Minimal carry! O but you can fit up to 12 cards!” Dude just pick one. Makes me just think they didn’t want to narrow down. It’s why I like Ekster cardbox wallets. No more than 6 in the box! Lol
@@walletopia When you try to sit in both spaces with one cheek on each side you end up not really appealing to anyone though. That lack of double stitching also doesn’t make me confident.
@@ninja2.o360 to my knowledge it is plenty hard. Gov of India pretty much limit how much notes can be taken outside the country. You can pretty much find this on many travel site. I do not know the limit, but if Mark shows that he has INR notes beyond certain limit, technically it is illegal to India.
I think your rating was generous for a third try it should be perfect at this point. I think quality is a 3 price would be a 1. It’s just too over priced compared to a $30 Serman wallet. Only paying for the name. I’d rather pay $80 for a Gun Deck an actual handmade USA wallet. Bellroy has ridiculous pricing on all there products for basic features.
I rate every wallet against itself, but you point out a very important thing. Once you understand what real quality is and can measure products against each other, a whole new world opens up. I look at Bellroy as a gateway wallet where a customer understand enough quality to see that it has some. Sometimes that's all they care about, but if they keep digging that understanding grows.
$115 for a wallet made an India. Nah. Too many awesome small companies and mom & pop shops making beautiful American made leather wallets with top tier leather, for less.
