QOTD: ⚡ Thoughts on this wallet? Too simple, too thick, what do YOU think?
walletopia, just superb in its simplicity! For us leather lovers it’s an awesome wallet. Of course, to be smelt at every opportunity! 😬
Which type of leather is this ?
Hassan Alsalman, full details on their website if you’re interested 🙂👍🏻
An Insider in Reverse Black Shell Cordovan is my daily carry. I'm a minimal wallet guy and I think the Insider is thin enough to qualify, while having more room than a fully minimalist carry, as I have to carry Yen since japan is pretty cash based. I love the damn thing, and I own a Port and a Two-bit. Next up...I'd like a Enfold.
Full grain veg tanned.
Thanks Mark! We were glad to have you in the workshop. I appreciate the work you and the misses are doing!
Thanks guys it was great to visit you in person and see the incredible work you put into your products! Thanks for the giveaway wallets!
Its a beautiful wallet!!
I got the green and grey one and I love it!!
Craft and Lore...where is my red ghost enfold. =P
Which color is this ?
Simplicity is a beautiful thing! This is no nonsense, fully functional, hand crafted with the finest leather. Smacks of quality and workmanship. I give this a 10/10.
Brought because of this video. Love the smell of the wallet and the feel of their leather is fantastic. Couldn’t be more happy.
Great to hear!
Such a beautifully crafted wallet. Their stuff is top notch!
Having asked this on their Facebook page you’ve just shown me how this handles other cash notes. Thanks for that 👍🏻 I love these wallets. I had an order made for an Enfold Card wallet but with the exchange rate, import costs and such I cancelled it for now. I still want that and the Insider though. Awesome gear 😀👍🏻
Absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful piece of leather. Wow thanks for the look into this wallet.
I really really wish those edges had not been left raw. That may look like an aesthetic choice however raw edges leave the leather unprotected from moisture and other impurities. Moisture can accumulate inside the fibers of the leather and produce all sorts of awful smells and mold. Edge finishing should be a standard in leather craft not a feature.
Great review!! I own the port wallet and will no doubt
give this one a try sometime in the future.
I'm usually a fan of metal wallets, but this thing seems charming.
Craft and lore are great wallets all I use love the Port and insider
I was hesitating between this one and One Star Leather 6 pocket wallet.
Eventually I chose One Star. It is a great wallet. Looks good, smells good, sized good.
But this Craft and Lore wallet still looks great to me. Maybe I'll buy this next time.
Anyway, thanks for all your great content. They really help a lot!
Glad to help, great choice on the One Star!
I got a Port wallet from them a couple of weeks ago and I am 100% satisfied. Great leather and the workmanship... second to none! That’s the appeal in my opinion, they pay attention to every detail. I couldn’t find a single flaw in the wallet and the price is right.
Great to hear!
awesome video!!! can you review the forrest and harold minimalist sleeve? it is probably the smallest nicest wallet i can find and i want to see what you think about it! keep up the great work!
I have owned one of these Insider wallets for about 7 months now. For the last 8 or 9 months I have been trying different wallets out, including the wallet I started with, the Mitchell money clip wallet, then trying the Crazy Horse Craft, the Lost Dutchman Finnegan and Big Finn, the Trayvax contour, the Open Seas Gundeck and a few others.
The one I have carried the most is the Craft and Lore Insider. It is close to a perfect form factor that can carry all the cards I need, allowing for easy access to a few cards, and just enough cash capacity to meet my needs. I like it enough that I just picked up another insider to add to my collection.
Great to hear! What's the one thing it does better than the others that kept you coming back?
@@walletopia I like a wallet small enough for front pocket carry, ability to carry 4 to 7 bills, and ability to keep IDs separate from credit cards, but have easy access to both. The Insider hits on that pretty well. it is a combination of a small form factor, easy access to cards, with just enough organization to make it work for me, and ability to carry just enough cash that it isn't a problem.
Comparing wallets, the Crazy Horse Craft had a nice form factor, but in terms of accessing cards and cash, fell short of my needs in both areas. It is an excellent wallet if all you need is access to one or two cards, and maybe limit cash carrying to a couple of bills. So I sold that one off to a friend who seems to like it.
In terms of card carrying capacity, the Insider is equal to the Lost Dutchman Big Finn and the Open Seas Gundeck, but better at giving me access to the cards and organizing them. The biggest disadvantage of the Big Finn is the flap on the front and accessing cards and especially cash inside. I am not crazy about digging up bills in the back of the Lost Dutchman, and I tried using as a cash wrap and didn't like it. The Open Seas gundeck is pretty easy access to cards, but no organization at all, and again, the same issue accessing cash in the back of the wallet behind the cards. .
I really like the cool factor and rugged aesthetic of the Trayvax Ascent, and it does work at keeping IDs separate from credit cards, and the pull tab is very cool. Unfortunately, the cash carrying falls short and it really is just good for 2, or at most 3 emergency bills folded into thirds or quarters, which I hate to do. The Craft and Lore allows me to fold bills in half while giving me easy access, and is good up to maybe 6 or 7 bills, which is about what I like to carry.
The Mitchell money clip is equal in form factor, better at cash carrying as I can carry about 10 bills in the money clip before it starts to feel overstuffed, and equal in card capacity, but has somewhat of a more refined aesthetic.
So for a rugged look and feel, the Insider. For a more polished look, the Mitchell is the better wallet.
Thanks Mark 👍👍, good reviews. Can you please review Red wing bifold wallet?
Hey mark I dont know if u have ever done a video in regards to exotic leathers (i.e. alligator, crockidille, ostrich, stingrays, kangaroo, etc..), but I would most definitely think that alot of ur subs may enjoy the world of exotic leather reviews & wit & wit not to look for in each different exotics leather classifications, but maybe u already have done this, idk?, anyways keep the great vids coming & stay healthy my friend !
Hi Trav, we've done a few Kangaroo leather one's and actually have an alligator hide wallet review on it's way.
Other than the raw edges however this wallet looks pretty damn solid. I like the oversized stitches.
How long did it take for the wallet to develop that patina? Im jnbetween the brown and the natural cx... do you know which one will develop the better patina?
The quality of the wallet looks Awesome! No doubt, but the pockets could use a little more slots, and if over stuffed, in cash 💵 or cards💳 mostly cards, then it becomes probably to bulky to close. But overall great 👍 review! Gotta say again like the show on videos of wallets, keep up the info on them 😊👍
Thanks!
First of all, thanks for all the incredible videos, really very well put together.
I am looking to get a new wallet and am debating between this craft and lore insider and the trayvax ascent. Really what it comes down to for me is leather quality. from your experience with both these wallets, what do you think? who uses the better leather, and how noticeable is the difference?
Both use Horween leather so they’re equal on both counts, so it comes down to personal preference.
Very good products but I wish they put in mind the international currencies if they want to sell outside US!
This reminds me of a rugged Slim Sleeve
Hey Mark, appreciate your reviews. I just want to know you thoughts between craft and lore insider and Nomad slim wallet. Which one is better ?
Comes down to personal preference, both are excellent.
Nice but I don’t think it will beat the port
Can you share the size of pattern?
Found my new wallet
Hello Sir, quick question. Can one replaced the cash with other, say 2 or 3 cards ?
Of course, it's all up to you.
Not a huge fan of storing multiple cards on the outside of a wallet, or multiple cards in 1 slot for that matter. But the leather looks amazing.
I've seen this wallet when it develops a patina, I think the word delicious comes to mind, but that might be too much.
I feel like a 3 on price is a little harsh. $65 for hand stitched with quality leather is actually pretty cheap.
I have one in natural veg, and it’s a very nice wallet to carry.
A 3 means it’s what you’d expect to pay.
It would be a little thick for me but it doesn’t matter. Nice and good quality wallet, I like it
.
well i am not much of a credit card user are there any wallets that hold more then fifty us bills because need a fat billfold
I'm not familiar with a wallet that is designed to specifically handle 50 bills, but I would suggest a wallet with a money clip versus one with a billfold pocket. More flexibility that way.
This is a super cool looking wallet, but I just can't get behind wallets that you have play origami with to insert cash. This seems to be the norm with practically all wallets these days.
If you want a "minimalist wallet" footprint you're generally stuck folding cash (not always, but mostly), so yes, it's one of the compromises for a smaller wallet footprint.
Looks around before sniffing the wallet... LOL
I understand that this wallet is handmade, but isn't it too much 65$ for this particular one? Raw edges are a big no for me, at least for this price
No, the price is where you’d expect it for a handmade wallet from the US.
@@walletopia Well yes and no... some makers are clearly superior in terms of finishing and details. Benjamin Bott comes to mind. You should definitely check him out. Some of the best polished edges in the industry at any price point.
Craft and Lore is also amazing. I own and love several of their wallets but they are a little rougher and "less finished"
@@m.e5544 Thanks Marc, I've got one from Benjamin Bott, very nice, we have that review coming up. I tend to perceive that most (but not always), a correlation of the edge treatment fitting the presentation to the market they're shooting for. Sticking with Craft & Lore it's more outdoorsy, rough and unfinished, going after that customer type, whereas Carl Friedrik leans more sophisticated and refined and their edge treatment, which is very unique, shows. Overall I think it demonstrates that they're putting great thought into who their target customer is and how their products appeal to them. Honestly, the fact most makers place attention on it at all shows me how much they care about their end product.
I want to know Who is the lucky one to get the wallet
We announced him over on Twitter!
Tasman? It looks a lot like Harvest Wheat from Acadia. I know Acadia sold leathers from Tasman. It’s a great leather but does not patina as much as their other options since it’s a chrome tan, re tanned veg. If it is in fact the Harvest.
Another $65 out of my bank account, thanks Mark.
Excellent purchase! Well worth the money!

first minute handling the wallet and is already damage Warning Do not fold the wallet !
It doesn't damage it, it's leather, it brings out the tannins.
@@walletopia BS
Super ugly wallet. The asymmetrical interior hurts to look at.
