Bellroy Slim Sleeve, slim leather wallet (Max. 12 cards and bills)

Nice

Love this product. But it is overpriced.

I only just received this wallet today so I will be sure to pop back in with an update (or several) in the future...but so far it meets my expectations for a highly regarded $80 wallet. Leather: Initial impression is very nice. It is as nice as the "top grain leather" sonoma wallet I carried for literally 16 years prior to this. It feels and smells the way good leather should, and is relatively strong despite being so slim. Size: It really is just a little larger than a credit card or driver license in length/width, and seems to be as thin as you can get for the features present. This disappears in a pocket compared to my years old, old fashion billfold style wallet. Moderately loaded it is thinner and lighter than my old wallet empty. Capacity: I have a total of 6 cards and 7 FRN's (US bills) in it right now and it lies flat/closed when set on a table. One card in each quick slot, four on the right side underneath with the pull tab, and the 7 bills folded over in half (one fold) on the left. The bills protrude a small amount this way, which makes them easy to grab, but not so far as to interfere with the wallet closing. Color: After spending literally hours upon hours looking up pictures and videos of different colors as well as reading people's impressions of the colors new and with age I decided to play it safe with Java. This color may as well be called "wallet brown". This is only the third wallet I have ever owned and it is basically the exact same color as the other two. I really wanted tan but there is a lot of confusion between tan, tamarillo, burnt orange, and some other color that looks about the same whose name I forget. I couldn't find "tan" in stock anywhere and didn't want to take my chances on a really weird color with one of the others...but tamarillo (listed on Amazon currently) is intriguing. Overall Quality: So far, excellent. Good stitching, solid feel, looks and feels quality. *UPDATE March 2017* This is still my one and only wallet and it's still great. I currently have it relatively stuffed with 6 standard cards in the slide out, one standard card in each of the two quick access slots, and ten FRN's (ten US$ bills).The wallet closes flat under its own weight and is still in very good shape. It is completely broken in and the total of 8 cards + 10 bills is the maximum I want to put in it. It's really forcing me to keep my carry stuff trimmed down, which is a good thing because it's so much lighter and easier to pocket. *UPDATE July 2018* Still going strong. Nothing coming apart, holding up well, pullout tab for the ~6 cards on the inside still in perfect condition. I still max it out at at least 6 cards in the pocket, one card in each quick access (8 cards total) and a stack of bills. It has broken in nicely to where it lays perfectly flat on its own when I set it on a table now.

This is my second Bellroy product. I love the simplicity of the design. I love the slim form factor making it really easy to carry cards and cash.

In my opinion, this is as good as it gets for slim and small wallets. The leather feels good and the compactness forces you to think about what to carry. There is plenty of room for at least: 1 license/ID 1 metro card 1 card in the inside slot 3-4 cards in the pull out sleeve maybe 3-4 bills behind the license Any more than the above and the wallet will have issues staying close. Maybe this is something that resolves itself with use and time, but I just have 2 additional cards and my health insurance ID in the pull out pocket, couple of emergency bills behind the license, and everything just works. It's small, disappears into a pocket, and feels like quality. I went through a lot of other options before settling on this. It's pricier than almost everything else, but you get what you pay for. No regrets.

First, I will acknowledge that this wallet is probably not worth $80. I'm not sure any mens wallet is worth that. That being said, i purchased many different wallets on Amazon before I gave up and tried this one. It's the first slim wallet I tried that actually does a job holding 6-10 cards and some cash. The pull tab is a great feature for less used cards. Look and feel of the wallet is great, very soft leather. I saw some negative reviews regarding the stitching and I don't see that at all. If you're not looking to spend $80 on a wallet, there are other wallets out there for around $20 that do the job ok, but if you can splurge on yourself, then you will not be sorry with this wallet.
