I got several wallets as gifts ages ago, but I got sick of carrying fat wallets and found a slim wallet to buy for myself and have used it for as long as I can remember now. I would never trade it out unless I somehow found an even skinnier one (or it gets lost or destroyed).
What’s it look like that makes it thin? I don’t have a change pocket or such, but I still think my wallet is larger than needed. Tri fold wallets I never liked because they are thick as well.
Its a very thin layer of leather on the outside and very thin layers of fabric on the inside. It is 2 credit cards tall, so depending on how many cards you have, you distribute them across 4 pockets. The billfold section is split into a shallow and a deep compartment, so you can arrange things at 2 levels, if you want. I rarely carry cash, so that part usually just has some small notes or receipts or nothing at all.
So it is partly the layout and partly the materials that keeps it thin. “Nice” wallets are usually all leather or mostly leather, which makes them much thicker and tri-folds are the worst.
I checked out of curiosity, its an Allet Original (was called classic leather when I bought it) and I’ve had it for 9 years. Its still in great condition, but apparently they cost almost twice as much now (I paid $35, they’re $66 now).
