This is definitely the best wallet ever. I love that the cards are staggered across the width of the wallet, not only does it make it easy to get cards, but it makes it easy to get to the cash on the inside too.
I'm an avid collector of front pocket wallets, i have about 22 front pocket wallets, i totally agree with your review on this being the best front pocket wallet, i have a couple of other wallets i used on a daily basis, the others just go into my collection drawer. i ran into your review and ordered 3 wallets the same night i saw your video. i received the shipment with 4 days, which is pretty quick to Texas. i have now been using this wallet for about 3 weeks, i love the feel, the functionality and the compliments i get from people when i pull it out to pay for something or lay it on the table when i eat dinner at a restaurant. thanks a million for your review and would encourage anyone that sees this video and is contemplating ordering this wallet, just do it, you will not regret it.
Does it fit ok in the front pocket? It seems a little long. Is it 4.5 or 4.75 inches tall? I would like to see a different version that I posted 6 days ago.
Canyon Overlook The Wallet is 4.75 inches tall x 3.25 inches wide. This wallet has fit in every pair of pants and shorts that I own. I can't foresee anyone having a problem putting it in their front pocket.
Just got one of these, straight from Italy in under a week, under $50 shipped, not the cheapest by any means. Very nicely made, beautiful leather, very thin. My old regular bifold was about an inch thick! So far i really like it & as far as minimalist wallets go this has the most pockets for cards/ cash etc. Great product & service. You get what you pay for!
Yeah thats one of the things these dumb effin wallet makers dont understand. Even bi-fold wallets could have it. But instead most of my cards have to become deformed because of these so-called product designers and their bleeding ignorance. I'd like to flip them off with my finger 90° in the air.
Still the best wallet I have ever owned as well. Got one 3-4 years ago after seeing this video but the liner tore within a few months. Have tried several other wallets since but nothing beats this form factor. Just ordered another, crossing my fingers for better durability this time.
I saw this video months ago, and agreed in principal that is the best design. I purchased a couple of cheap versions off Amazon to prove the concept, and one wallet has been great. however, it's a little small for UK notes and so will now treat myself to one of these. thanks for sharing.
Just bought it this item. It's amazingly slim. Holds everything my old trifold did in about half the volume. Search for it on eBay if you don't want to deal with buying internationally. It's going for $39.99 now and it ships from California.
Just got mine in about an hour ago. This video and the other you made got me to make my purchase..I already loaded the wallet with cards and a few dollar bills. Very nice & smells amazing brand new..Thank you for this video
Mine came today - absolutely love it and a fine leather to boot!! It is top notch and design is great - wish I ordered 2 of them - if anyone wants to order some I will chip in to save shipping!!
MAHALL24 I'd be interested in both but not sure how a transaction through youtube would work. One of us ultimately would have to be in the open and at risk of ripoff.
Thanks for sharing! I bought one for my husband as an anniversary present. :-) He always gets those cheap little plastic things that fall apart after a few months because they are slim, hopefully this will work for him.
Love the minimalist approach. I'm currently using a Crabby Wallet, which I LOVE! When looking for a leather option, I think this Cuoieria Fiorentina is hard to beat.
just ordered this wallet. I saw a friend of mine have it and he said it is much better than his previous wallets. I am all about minimalist carry so lets see how it goes. B the way i ordered a black one. Looks pretty good
Nice, I was looking for a slim wallet and this seems to suit very well. I'm Italian and I came across this brand thanks to an American guy :) I think I'm going to purchase one..
I personally use the Band-it wallet. I have come to love that wallet. It's really small and is very comfortable in use. You should totally check it out!
I have to agree. I bought one after seeing this review, unfortunately it went through the wash, the leather was fine but the liner was a bit saggy. I could not find anything else that came close to its carryability so bought another. That was 2 years ago still going strong and still not found anything that I would replace it with. Cheers
Thanks for the review. Once we got to the heart of it, it was very helpful. And I think you're right: This just might be the perfect wallet. Also, here's a tip about the little metal thing at the end of a tape measure that will permit you to measure the wallet accurately: It's not loose and sloppy, it's precise and useful. The reason it has some loose play in it is to permit you to *accurately* measure both inside and outside dimensions. The loose play is there to compensate for the little metal lip that reached around the edge of your wallet. 1. To measure an outside dimension (like you were trying to do with your wallet), put the metal lip over the edge and pull the tape gently taught to get an accurate reading. This way, thickness of the metal lip that hangs over the edge of the item does not count as part of the measurement (as it should not).. 2. To measure an inside dimension (like perhaps the width of an open window), put the metal tip against an inside edge and gently push it against that edge to get an accurate reading. This way, the thickness of the metal lip does count as part of the measurement (as it should). In your measurement of the wallet, you were trying to somehow adjust for the loose play in the metal tip. As a result, you measured inaccurately. If you were to measure again (as described in #1, above), I expect you would see that the wallet is 3" x 4.5".
As far as I can tell that seems to be the case. There may be a slightly different leather finish to the wallet, but that wouldn't matter unless you had both side by side.
Thanks buddy.. Your review convinced me instantly to order this product. Honestly can't wait to get my hands on it!! Will keep you posted once I receive mine :-)
Thanks a lot for this video! I've been looking for a new wallet for quite a while, something small and stylish that can fit into suit as well as everyday jeans front pocket. I was about to buy a Bellroy (not really happy, but it looks the best compromise to me), when i stepped into this video. And i immediately bought two of them as well, and for 20€ less shipped (which is a GREAT deal).
One more question since you answered so fast. The briefcase and calf briefcase look exactly the same...this is the briefcase correct...the description on the site is worded diffrently but seems to me that they are exactly the same wallet just in different colors. Leather calf Briefcases. Inside features eight spaces for credit card, two side briefcase and unique space for bankonotes. Leather Briefcases. Interior features eight spaces for credit cards, two spaces briefcases and only space for banknotes
Ronald Campos Same leather, different finish. The calf might be more supple as compared to the ones I purchased. Softer feel, possible more prone to scratches. But should be the same in functionality.
The best part about this wallet is that it doesn't absorb heat. The main issue I had with my old bifold wallet was that during summer it would literally be equivalent to a heater pack in your pocket. Not with this.
Don't you put your keys in the same pocket as your wallet? ie cell phone in the other pocket by itself? How do your cards hold up with your keys in the same pocket?
+EpicSnuggleBunny not if you use a Key organizer! keeps the keys in place and won't make them scratch anything! also I kinda think the wallet you reviewed was too bulky for a minimalist wallet... but maybe it's just cause I'm not a big fan of leather in general :P
This wallet looks promising. I may even carry two. My problem is I always get weighed down by auxiliary cards and things that I need to have just in case but don't need often. Things like your Grocery Reward card, Costco Card, Gift Cards, Gas Discount Card etc. I've tried taking them out of the wallet or leaving them in the car and grabbing as I needed but ran into many cases where I would be somewhere and needed it but didn't have it. How do you all get around that or am I alone in that problem?
You might consider an app like "Key Ring." (keyringapp.com/) It's a free app that allows you to scan all of your loyalty cards into your smart phone and ditch the physical cards.
What is the difference between the two wallets that look like this on their website? It appears as though they have different names, but they're the same price and I can't find any differing specs. is it the quality of leather?
Hi! Is this the "LEATHER BRIEFCASE" or the "LEATHER CALF BRIEFCASE"? :) 2 different wallets on the website but I can't recognize the difference and which color you have.
I am still wondering about the width and weight. In your video it says 2cm and .3kg when you show the site.. Now on the site it says 1 cm and .05 kg. Is it.4 inches wide without anything in it? That would be about 1 cm. Maybe the 2cm and .3 kg is with it full.
Do they make them in full grain leather lined with pigskin? And also genuine leather, doesn't that mean lowest quality of all products made out of real leather?
Great review. I was looking for something like this to reduce the size of my aging leather bifold wallet which has served me well but is falling apart at the seams. One bonus for me is that it is non-RFID blocking which most wallet are now sold with. It's a nuisance pulling out RFID cards out of my wallet every time for accessing boom gates or enter security doors. I've just ordered one based on your review. Mind you shipping to Australia is more that the price of the wallet but I couldn't find anything that replicated the features. If looking for it on their website it's called the "Leather Briefcase" in the Card Holders section.
That's odd, I put a shortened link so it would work on cell phones, perhaps it won't work for other users? I put the old link back up, but cell phones don't seem to like the symbols at the end of the link.
I really like you review. I'm thinking of getting one. I carry the dopp black opps front pocket wallet and love it. Just wondering how much cash you can fold and carry? How many bills folded do you think it will hold? Thanks
i like your video,and vary well done,i have been using bosca wallets for like 35 years in one shape or another!and find there leather is finished like no other wallet i have seen!i mostly use the trifold,so i don't think i would gain much by using the one your showing!but it looks like a nice FP-wallet just the same,thanks.
From their web site: ARE ALL YOUR PRODUCTS HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY? Of course. All Cuoieria Fiorentina products are made in Italy using completely natural leather (full grain or calf), tanned, dyed and processed according to antique artisan methods, modelled using the most sophisticated technology and finished scrupulously by hand. For this reason any imperfections, marks or micro-defects in the leather are to be considered an element of quality which certifies the originality of the product and exalts and reinforces their uniqueness.
Said in 10 minutes what could have been said in 2 minutes or less. No mention of RFID blocking technology. I would think this would be a must have feature in any wallet.
Agreed, terrible video. Although RFID protection is pointless. None of my credit or debit cards have RFID anymore, all of my cards were replaced by the card issuers with the new security chip cards months ago. So having a wallet with said protection is completely pointless.
what does "CAP" mean when i am filling out my shipping information? it is a mandatory field so i cant leave it black and dont know what to write. please help. i am ordering from canada
This wallet is perfect. Thanks for the great review. It's exactly what I have been looking for. I ordered 2 based off your review. Cost about 70 bucks with shipping. Can't beat that for 2 quality leather wallets. I can't wait to ditch my George Constanza sized wallet!
Not enough to worry about. In the last 8 years I've never had problem with any of my cards breaking, cracking or wearing prematurely. I however, do not carry my keys in the same pocket as my wallet, nor do I position the cards in the pockets with the magnetic strip showing. In the opening of the video all of my cards are backwards to prevent anyone from seeing the card numbers, but that was just for the video. In real life, all of the cards are reversed to protect the magnetic strips.
My coach front pocket wallet died after 10 years of use. I scoured the internet in search of a new model (coach didn't make mine any longer). I found this, watched the video and was sold. The poster of the video if not in product sales, should consider it. Anyway, I ordered the wallet. Here is my review: All of the things in the video are true and the wallet is really good with two draw backs. The wallet was designed for European currency which is larger than the US dollar. As such the wallet is bigger than needed. It should be a half inch smaller all around. I am now the proud owner of a large bulgy front pocket and still in search of the perfect, RIGHT SIZED, front pocket wallet. FYI, I will sell my wallet if anyone is interested. I have used it for only two days.
I agree it is a little too big. It could be 4 by 2.75 inches or 3 in with only 2 outside slots on each side. That is all I need for quick draw. I think they could eliminate 1 or 2 of the inner pockets which would leave more room for storage because the dividers take up space. They could have 1 main pocket or 2, one for cards and the other for cash to keep them separate. I haven't decided if I am going to keep mine. I don;t know when this was first designed ,but if i remember correctly, the lira bills weren't very big before they changed to Euros.
Also looks like they added non-leather different color versions for slightly less money. www.cuoieriafiorentina.it/shop/prodotto/portatessere-in-vitello-martellato/UC5EMDI0/
They had that variation previously, it's a hammered calf finish instead of the nice smooth leather finish of the ones in this video. Originally they were both 18 euro, but since you guys have bought so many of the model in this video, they bumped the price by 6 euro. Unfortunate, but that's business I guess.
ok so there is 1 thing i dont understad. what do you people do with the change you get? just put it in ur pocket or throw it away cause i keep my change in my wallet
It's kind of weird they write genuine leather on it in English when it's an Italian company and sold in Italy. Who wants that written on the wallet anyway? That's like writing cotton or silk across a shirt. Is the inner lining on the new one just as thin as the old one? It looks like there is no leather in the middle to help it stay thin, which is good. I may have to take the plunge.
Canyon Overlook Cause there are different classes of leather, it needs to say it on there. Genuine Leather means that it is made from real leather parts but it's not pure leather. It's a category sort of like Formula 1 vs Formula 3 car racing.
And I love mine - wish i ordered a second - with that said - if you decide you need another to make sure you have enough to last to your demise - let me know and I'll split shipping - remorse I didn't order 2 or 3!
That wallet is craptacular. I had one years ago... If you carry a lot of cards, they will bend. ...and it bulges because of the design. It may be a well built unit, and made from a fine leather... But it just wasn't designed well.
They have since changed the design of the wallet, doesn't look nearly as nice as the new ones in your video. Some of there other wallets seem nice though.
This would be perfect if it was 4 by 3 inches with 1 quick draw slot on each side. I only really use 1 credit card regularly and maybe a gym or library card. Those would be on the outside slot. I would then put 3 or 4 cards in the 2 other pockets with a little cash in the middle. The other 8 cards I rarely use: license, insurance etc. The staggering doesn't make it slimmer it seems to me. The cards are still on top of one another with leather in between. If anything it would make it thicker. The staggering just makes it unnecessary longer. 4.75 is too long. Although it might only be 4.5 in your video. Still a bit too long. How does it feel in the pocket? It's also a little too wide. I don't know why they put that extra bit of leather on the side. The cards, if staggered, should be on opposite ends so that it would be even and not top heavy. There is a wallet on their site that looks like this that is 12 by 8 by 1 not 2 and only weights .05. Is that a new version?
There are quite a few other wallets out there that fit your criteria better. I would check out Steve Montelli Channel where he has reviewed quite a few wallets that you would probably enjoy more. I don't know anything about the company's new offerings, since this one is perfection (for me at least).
EpicSnuggleBunny I am a follower of Steve. I do like certain aspects of this wallet. I like the center pocket for cash and the 2 side pockets, plus the other card slots. I just wish it was a little smaller. I just measured my passport and this is almost the same size. That gives me a good idea of the fit.
Daniel Miles Thanks. I like another one from the ledershop that I saw. I don't know if they send it to the US though.. www.rakuten.de/produkt/leder-kreditkartenetui-visitenkartenetui-mj-design-germany-schwarz-701186396.html
This is definitely the best wallet ever. I love that the cards are staggered across the width of the wallet, not only does it make it easy to get cards, but it makes it easy to get to the cash on the inside too.
I failed to address this in my review. Primarily because I've been spoiled by my recently retired wallet over the last few years. Excellent Point.

I'm an avid collector of front pocket wallets, i have about 22 front pocket wallets, i totally agree with your review on this being the best front pocket wallet, i have a couple of other wallets i used on a daily basis, the others just go into my collection drawer. i ran into your review and ordered 3 wallets the same night i saw your video. i received the shipment with 4 days, which is pretty quick to Texas. i have now been using this wallet for about 3 weeks, i love the feel, the functionality and the compliments i get from people when i pull it out to pay for something or lay it on the table when i eat dinner at a restaurant. thanks a million for your review and would encourage anyone that sees this video and is contemplating ordering this wallet, just do it, you will not regret it.

It looks like they no longer make this, as least per their website
If they flipped one of the card sets 180°, it be significantly thinner and symmetrical.
Yeah thats one of the things these dumb effin wallet makers dont understand. Even bi-fold wallets could have it. But instead most of my cards have to become deformed because of these so-called product designers and their bleeding ignorance. I'd like to flip them off with my finger 90° in the air.

Search for it on eBay if you don't want to deal with buying internationally. It's going for $39.99 now and it ships from California.

What was the shipping cost?
Jeffrey Sun it was almost as much as the wallet - so if your gunna buy one add one for me and split the shipping - let me know
Mario DeAngelis Will do. Still deciding. Thank you for the information.
I'm telling you if you need space - BUT want slim - its flawless
MAHALL24 I'd be interested in both but not sure how a transaction through youtube would work. One of us ultimately would have to be in the open and at risk of ripoff.
Thanks for sharing! I bought one for my husband as an anniversary present. :-) He always gets those cheap little plastic things that fall apart after a few months because they are slim, hopefully this will work for him.

I personally use the Band-it wallet. I have come to love that wallet. It's really small and is very comfortable in use. You should totally check it out!
I've been looking for something like this for a while, just ordered!
Ordered Mine and it's awesome! I wish I had ordered another one to offset shipping cost. Thank You for sharing.

Apologies for the long intro. Sometimes I don't know what I'll say when I start making the video.
whats the difference in the 'leather calf briefcase' and the 'leather briefcase' wallets on their site...just color?
As far as I can tell that seems to be the case. There may be a slightly different leather finish to the wallet, but that wouldn't matter unless you had both side by side.
Thanks for this review. This looks like it would be a perfect front pocket wallet.
Thanks buddy.. Your review convinced me instantly to order this product. Honestly can't wait to get my hands on it!! Will keep you posted once I receive mine :-)
This is awesome!just what i was looking for. Small but packed & fine leather. Meets all my specs. Ordered mine. TQ a lot dude! Big help
Thanks man, I just bought one. Its 24 euros now instead of 18. Its still a good purchase in my opinion.
why do people put their wallets in there back pockets at all
i just ordered one after seeing this review, it took just over a day to arrive and i am very pleased with it... ;)
Thanks a lot for this video! I've been looking for a new wallet for quite a while, something small and stylish that can fit into suit as well as everyday jeans front pocket.

One more question since you answered so fast.
The briefcase and calf briefcase look exactly the same...this is the briefcase correct...the description on the site is worded diffrently but seems to me that they are exactly the same wallet just in different colors.
Leather calf Briefcases. Inside features eight spaces for credit card, two side briefcase and unique space for bankonotes.
Leather Briefcases. Interior features eight spaces for credit cards, two spaces briefcases and only space for banknotes
Ronald Campos I believe they are the same thing in different colors. Leather might be finished a bit differently, but in use they should be identical.
Just different leather...
Ronald Campos Same leather, different finish. The calf might be more supple as compared to the ones I purchased. Softer feel, possible more prone to scratches. But should be the same in functionality.
Thanks I'm buying one.
Was gonna buy one of those other minimalist wallets where the cards are stuck together ect but this wallet is great...
Ronald Campos Nice, you'll have to let me know how you like it.
Even though the price went up, the exchange rate is better for the dollar so the cost is slightly less now than if you bought it last March.
Looks awesome.
Bought it. Love it.
The best part about this wallet is that it doesn't absorb heat. The main issue I had with my old bifold wallet was that during summer it would literally be equivalent to a heater pack in your pocket. Not with this.
I checked out the website but in the shipping menu, the US is not listed is there any other place to get one?
Tacky logo, takes away from the simplicity of the previous stamped version. No black leather available?
The cards being on the outside don't fall out or slip towards falling out? Your not scared of that....?
Ronald Campos Has not happened once in 8 years.
Don't you put your keys in the same pocket as your wallet? ie cell phone in the other pocket by itself? How do your cards hold up with your keys in the same pocket?
+tom110111
No, my keys go in my keyfob pocket, they would scratch the crap out of this and any wallet.
+EpicSnuggleBunny
not if you use a Key organizer! keeps the keys in place and won't make them scratch anything!
also I kinda think the wallet you reviewed was too bulky for a minimalist wallet... but maybe it's just cause I'm not a big fan of leather in general :P
Thanks for posting this video, have been looking forward to getting my wallet. You're right DHL is fast, estimated arrival is in two days!
Is the new one the exact same size as the old one? It looks like the flap is a little bigger on the old one. Is the leather the same as the old one?
Don't know, I gave my old wallet away to a viewer who wanted it.
This wallet looks promising. I may even carry two. My problem is I always get weighed down by auxiliary cards and things that I need to have just in case but don't need often.

+Jakob Reed
Different leather finishes. The calf is a softer leather.
This is almost exactly what I been looking for.
What about putting like 10 bills??
Hello, i check this on the website and i noticed there was the leather briefcase and the calf leather one.,which kind is the one showed on this video?
Hey I won't one but I don't know the website
I have links in the description box.
Went to the site. Would the wallet in the video be the same as theirs being described as “leather briefcase “?? Link doesn’t work anymore.
Yah same thing
thanks!
Hi! Is this the "LEATHER BRIEFCASE" or the "LEATHER CALF BRIEFCASE"? :) 2 different wallets on the website but I can't recognize the difference and which color you have.
I am still wondering about the width and weight. In your video it says 2cm and .3kg when you show the site.. Now on the site it says 1 cm and .05 kg. Is it.4 inches wide without anything in it? That would be about 1 cm. Maybe the 2cm and .3 kg is with it full.
Can you please do a review of your wallet present time? I think a lot would enjoy that and would be helpful to others to see it in action.
Thanks

This seems like the best wallet for anyone really.
Great review. I was looking for something like this to reduce the size
of my aging leather bifold wallet which has served me well but is falling apart at the seams.

blocking which most wallet are now sold with.
It's a nuisance pulling out RFID cards out of my wallet every time for accessing boom gates or enter

for some reason I can't get to the website page...
That's odd, I put a shortened link so it would work on cell phones, perhaps it won't work for other users?
I put the old link back up, but cell phones don't seem to like the symbols at the end of the link.
did you pay shipping for each one?
Nope, just the basic shipping charge for all 4. Which helps bring the price per unit down.
How many $1 dollar bills could you fit in the center slot?
Wow, seriously?
I really like you review. I'm thinking of getting one. I carry the dopp black opps front pocket wallet and love it. Just wondering how much cash you can fold and carry? How many bills folded do you think it will hold? Thanks
i like your video,and vary well done,i have been using bosca wallets for like 35 years in one shape or another!and find there leather is finished like no other wallet i have seen!i mostly use the trifold,so i don't think i would gain much by using the one your showing!but it looks like a nice FP-wallet just the same,thanks.
Have you noticed any difference in the new version?
Other than the ones pointed out in the video such as the upgraded interior polyester material and new logo, not really.
Ok thank you. I placed an order for two of them four days ago, waiting for them to come in. Thank you very much for your video.
Thanks for sharing this, ordered one today!
From their web site:
ARE ALL YOUR PRODUCTS HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY?
Of course. All Cuoieria Fiorentina products are made in Italy using completely natural leather (full grain or calf), tanned, dyed and processed according to antique artisan methods, modelled using the most sophisticated technology and finished scrupulously by hand. For this reason any imperfections, marks or micro-defects in the leather are to be considered an element of quality which certifies the originality of the product and exalts and reinforces their uniqueness.
Could you use this in your back pocket without damaging your cards?
Said in 10 minutes what could have been said in 2 minutes or less. No mention of RFID blocking technology. I would think this would be a must have feature in any wallet.
Agreed, terrible video. Although RFID protection is pointless. None of my credit or debit cards have RFID anymore, all of my cards were replaced by the card issuers with the new security chip cards months ago. So having a wallet with said protection is completely pointless.
how many bill would you sat it fits max?
what does "CAP" mean when i am filling out my shipping information? it is a mandatory field so i cant leave it black and dont know what to write. please help. i am ordering from canada
+Umer Mumtaz It's your zip code, it stands for Codice di Avviamento Postale
This wallet is perfect. Thanks for the great review. It's exactly what I have been looking for. I ordered 2 based off your review. Cost about 70 bucks with shipping. Can't beat that for 2 quality leather wallets. I can't wait to ditch my George Constanza sized wallet!
That's awesome, hope you enjoy your new wallet. Just be careful not to try and overfill it!
where do you put your coins?
I hate coins.
You should do an update of the new one -
That's certainly possible. I'll see if I have time this weekend.
Here you go: The best front pocket / slimline / minimalist wall: th-cam.com/video/33KqM6Qbj9s/w-d-xo.html
how can you order one here in the U.S. ?????
do your cards get worn out on the ends?
Not enough to worry about. In the last 8 years I've never had problem with any of my cards breaking, cracking or wearing prematurely. I however, do not carry my keys in the same pocket as my wallet, nor do I position the cards in the pockets with the magnetic strip showing.
In the opening of the video all of my cards are backwards to prevent anyone from seeing the card numbers, but that was just for the video. In real life, all of the cards are reversed to protect the magnetic strips.
What is the name of the company?? You say it so fast I can't understand what you are saying or how to spell it.
Cuoieria Fiorentina. I have a few links in the description box above.
I don't think they are selling it anymore
I just checked the site and it still looks to be there. Use the link in the video description.
I own one.Best wallet I ever purchased.
My coach front pocket wallet died after 10 years of use. I scoured the internet in search of a new model (coach didn't make mine any longer). I found this, watched the video and was sold. The poster of the video if not in product sales, should consider it. Anyway, I ordered the wallet. Here is my review:
All of the things in the video are true and the wallet is really good with two draw backs. The wallet was designed for European currency which is larger than the US dollar. As such the wallet is bigger than needed. It should be a half inch smaller all around.
I am now the proud owner of a large bulgy front pocket and still in search of the perfect, RIGHT SIZED, front pocket wallet.
FYI, I will sell my wallet if anyone is interested. I have used it for only two days.
I agree it is a little too big. It could be 4 by 2.75 inches or 3 in with only 2 outside slots on each side. That is all I need for quick draw. I think they could eliminate 1 or 2 of the inner pockets which would leave more room for storage because the dividers take up space. They could have 1 main pocket or 2, one for cards and the other for cash to keep them separate.
I haven't decided if I am going to keep mine.
I don;t know when this was first designed ,but if i remember correctly, the lira bills weren't very big before they changed to Euros.
Also looks like they added non-leather different color versions for slightly less money. www.cuoieriafiorentina.it/shop/prodotto/portatessere-in-vitello-martellato/UC5EMDI0/
They had that variation previously, it's a hammered calf finish instead of the nice smooth leather finish of the ones in this video. Originally they were both 18 euro, but since you guys have bought so many of the model in this video, they bumped the price by 6 euro. Unfortunate, but that's business I guess.
It looks to me like the first one still has many years of life left in it.
Geez you nailed that translation
Sweet. Thanks man!
i just ordered two :)
ok so there is 1 thing i dont understad. what do you people do with the change you get? just put it in ur pocket or throw it away cause i keep my change in my wallet
bought one and made sure they know it's because I saw your video.
EpicSnuggleBunny I can't believe the wallet is already here! It's exactly what I was looking for, thank you for sharing this great find with us.
Awesome, hope you enjoy it!
It's kind of weird they write genuine leather on it in English when it's an Italian company and sold in Italy. Who wants that written on the wallet anyway? That's like writing cotton or silk across a shirt.
Is the inner lining on the new one just as thin as the old one? It looks like there is no leather in the middle to help it stay thin, which is good.
I may have to take the plunge.

Cause there are different classes of leather, it needs to say it on there. Genuine Leather means that it is made from real leather parts but it's not pure leather. It's a category sort of like Formula 1 vs Formula 3 car racing.
Yes, but why is it in English? Do they have it in Italian for the ones they sell in Italy.
Is it a law they have to have it on there?
+Canyon Overlook I am not sure if there is a law, but here in germany a lot of wallets have an "genuine leather - Echtleder" stamp on there as well.
This great review just cost me 18€ pluss shipping!
Great Vid. are these RFID protection capable?
Perfect!
Could have been a lot shorter, but thanks for the info 😊
Nice.
This looks like a really primitive and basic Bellroy.
they dont make this wallet anymore u did the right thing
It's listed under WOMEN'S card holders, and is called a briefcase.
And I love mine - wish i ordered a second - with that said - if you decide you need another to make sure you have enough to last to your demise - let me know and I'll split shipping - remorse I didn't order 2 or 3!
beautiful wallet but including shipping was 39 euros or 67 dollars. I passed.
don't want to be that close to anything that was in your pocket for 1 year let alone 7.
Word
That wallet is craptacular. I had one years ago... If you carry a lot of cards, they will bend.
...and it bulges because of the design.
It may be a well built unit, and made from a fine leather... But it just wasn't designed well.
They have since changed the design of the wallet, doesn't look nearly as nice as the new ones in your video. Some of there other wallets seem nice though.
Portatessere = Cards holder :)
This would be perfect if it was 4 by 3 inches with 1 quick draw slot on each side. I only really use 1 credit card regularly and maybe a gym or library card. Those would be on the outside slot. I would then put 3 or 4 cards in the 2 other pockets with a little cash in the middle. The other 8 cards I rarely use: license, insurance etc.
The staggering doesn't make it slimmer it seems to me. The cards are still on top of one another with leather in between. If anything it would make it thicker. The staggering just makes it unnecessary longer. 4.75 is too long. Although it might only be 4.5 in your video. Still a bit too long. How does it feel in the pocket?
It's also a little too wide. I don't know why they put that extra bit of leather on the side.
The cards, if staggered, should be on opposite ends so that it would be even and not top heavy.
There is a wallet on their site that looks like this that is 12 by 8 by 1 not 2 and only weights .05. Is that a new version?
There are quite a few other wallets out there that fit your criteria better. I would check out Steve Montelli Channel where he has reviewed quite a few wallets that you would probably enjoy more.
I don't know anything about the company's new offerings, since this one is perfection (for me at least).
EpicSnuggleBunny I am a follower of Steve. I do like certain aspects of this wallet. I like the center pocket for cash and the 2 side pockets, plus the other card slots. I just wish it was a little smaller.
I just measured my passport and this is almost the same size. That gives me a good idea of the fit.

Daniel Miles Thanks. I like another one from the ledershop that I saw. I don't know if they send it to the US though..
