Your reviews are excellent. The graphics, attention to detail, and of course your presentation are all top notch. Keep up the great work, man!
Oh, I also picked up this wallet in the light grey color. Thanks for the review!
Great to hear! Thanks for the kind words.
Genuinely a diamond in the rough. This channel is so satisfying to watch and rich with testing and presenting the wallets themselves.
Can’t resist subscribing!
Had this wallet for a while now and love it! I wasn’t a big fan of the money clip either but it conveniently slides out and I looped a thin elastic band through the clip hole to the inside and have a perfect money strap that’s invisible from the outside. Makes it a little slimmer too!
Great idea on the elastic band!
I have the dark gray wallet for the past 6 years and its still holding up with a good patina! Love this wallet for the size and functionality!
I just hit the button. Smash!! You do a great job all around. I find myself watching these videos more than I would like to admit. I never knew I had a wallet fetish. You brought it out of me. I'm a little ashamed 😔. Lol
I've had this wallet for about 2yrs. It's a great wallet.
Got mine for 15 bucks and really dig it this far. Convenient with the bill fold and like the flip id. I've had other minimalist where that's a problem
Just by way of an update. I canceled my order, after seeing your review of the Mitchell MCW. I ordered one of those instead, just because I don’t RFID . Again, thanks for the great videos.
Thanks! You’ll love the MCW!
Had this for 4-5 years. It's beautiful. BUT, you can't treat it with a bifold lifestyle. I tend to stuff cards in the front, and it stretched out so it can't hold the cards properly anymore. If you receive wrinkly cash from someone else's trifold or moneyband, it'll bloat your wallet up. It was a pain to use the card pockets inside with bills flapping around. Sometimes I tore my bills making a rush payment (can't just pull it out of a big stack with one hand). Plastic ID holds up well. No ink smearing on it. This wallet is great for those with minimal cards (6 + ID) and is satisfied with only carrying a large bill and exchanging back to a large bill from time to time when you get too many ones and fives.
Thanks for coming back on your experiences, very good to see. If you'd like to share a quick video review of your experience with this wallet, please head over to the Walletopia Share Experience program we just launched at walletopia.info/share we'd love to hear from you on video for others to learn from!
Great wallet for the price. I used to make a similar one from .6mm Buttero leather but all leather doubles the thickness, doubles the weight and it sold between $280 and $400. $400 was Horween shell.
Exactly. The design dictates several thing with wallets and weight of leather is a BIG part of that. Multi-layer designs MUST have a lighter weight of leather or it will be a thick monster, totally destroying the aesthetic, always trade offs.
I had this wallet for 3 months now. I love it. I have no plans of switching it. I don't use the inside pocket for the fact it make the wallet thick. I use all 4 pockets on the outside. It stays thin that way. I have 8 cards in it. I love it. It patina nicely.
Do you think it will last longer than 3 years if I don't use the ID slot on the inside? I asked because I notice while looking at long term reviews on youtube where people complain about it only lasting 4 years, But what I notice was they all broke down in the id slot. I'm also including serman brand money clip wallets as well.
Reminds me of the Mitchell Money Clip Wallet and the MMCW is stunning. This one, for the price is ok, I think. Great wallet for the money, even if it is *cough* RFID. LOL
MMCW is beautiful and made with Horween leather, the Bryker, while less expensive is challenged by leather quality.
Does this wallet fit Euros and Pounds ? Are there any other options I can look at? I want something with a money clip and good quality leather.
I was drawn to this wallet solely for its form factor and usability. I wonder if the slim form factor is facilitated by the “missing leather” as a result of the RFID blocking material which is thinner by comparison. I ordered one and will revert after a month or two of use. Many thanks for your excellent videos!
I've found in all wallets where they substitute liner material for leather, it does make it "thinner" and it's easier to manipulate as leather provides more resistance than thin nylon.
When you rate on features, what are you looking for? I'm wondering what types of features would get 4 or 5 stars.
It's not made in Texas. Bryker Hyde is based in Dallas but the wallets are made in Colombia and China. I asked a rep for the company about that and that's what he told me.
Makes sense, was pretty surprised when I heard the price.
Yes this wallet is exactly the same wallet as branded under kings loot and serman brands. There is one manufacturer and people slap a different logo on it.
@@ScienceBitch123 The King's Loot wallet is not exactly the same as this. It only has quick access on one side of the exterior and features a pull tab. Also the wallet itself is designed a bit differently. To say it's exactly the same is to say you aren't paying attention.
Could you do a review of Bryker Hyde's "Executive Top Flip" wallet?
Will do, it's on our editorial calendar. Should be out in 10 days or so.
I really should trust my first judgement. It would save me a lot of money. Based off your videos, I bought the Mitchell Money Clip Wallet. I love that wallet but I do with it had one or two outside slots for cards. The Roik looked like it might be a better fit for me. I thought it might hold unfolded US currency but it does not. I was going to pass that along to a nephew but I think I might keep it because I'm going to do some traveling in Europe at some point and since the Roik can hold unfolded Euros, the Roik will be my Europe wallet. Next up, I tried the Bryker Hyde Minimalist. Like the Mitchell and the Roik, it's a beautiful wallet. It does get a bit thick though and doesn't easily hold as much cash as the Mitchell. I think I'm done looking. I should have stopped with the Mitchell. It's small enough for the front pocket and even with 8 cards it doesn't feel to thick.
Anyway... great reviews.
Always a learning process! I've found my wallet tastes and feature usage change over the years, but for "specialty" wallet like for travel, I always go back to my original.
@@walletopia Are your go-to wallets a reviewer's secret?
@@JimCaputoMusic Well, since I started the channel, I've been carrying different wallets every 1-2 months for carry reviews. But when it comes down to it, I prefer a slim, veg-tanned leather, card wallet. Something really easy. I've really been liking the MagSafe wallets as I carry an iPhone and the number of 3rd party wallets is impressive and growing. A video on that will be coming soon.
Do you know of any wallets like these that have magnetic clips so the bifold stay closed until you want to open it? The only one I can think of is the Belroy Apex slim. And I don’t want that wallet.
Have a look at the Harber London wallet, ruclips.net/video/wWf9uFvAC1I/видео.html
@@walletopia Thank you for the tip!
Can someone tell what kind of watch this gentleman is wearing?
It's in the notes, Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph - amzn.to/2Uf7HYf. All the watches in the video's are Citizens, and no, they don't sponsor me :)
I like this but without the money clip.
U can fit about 300-400 in 20s American cash. Only difference mine an yours is my ID slot is on the outside. Had mine 2+ years
Thanks David! Anything you find you like in particular and don't quite like about this wallet?
walletopia I like how compact it is while still being able to take a lot of cash only thing is that black inside did get a small tear on the edge after about a year an a half
Thanks!
It's made in China designed in Texas.
too bad they dont do international shipping.
That is surprising.
💥 Is RFID really necessary.??
Can I fit a slice of pizza in this wallet?
Folded over? Thin crust? Cheese only? So many variables :)
@@walletopia all of the above
What's the actual color? You call it "light brown", but I don't see that color listed in their options. What's it called?
@@TheSupraStar , thanks for the question, the color they reference would be "Tan" on their website, which also matches what they call it on Amazon.
Mucic
Too many card slot
It's a very traditional-ish wallet. It's what dad's would graduate to and feel like they're going minimalist. 😀
Funny how you think this wallet is good because you think it's made in Texas, but your review of serman brands, which is the exact same wallet, mocks the China, rfid, low quality leather. It's the exact same product rebranded. Same for kings loot and others
Indeed, I learned that after this review, it was one of my first. They are all about the same design, most made from the same factories.
This is RFID blocking, not "RFID". I think you need to do a bit more research about what that means before doing a review on a product.
I'm well aware that it's RFID "blocking". I refer to it as RFID generally as the blocking portion within wallets is all it could be. I suggest you watch this. ruclips.net/video/QL2HEgOFQxc/видео.html
Lame. Your review of quality is based on what country it was made from? I saw how you scored items made in China. Why don’t you test quality based on wear vs where it was made. skewd.
Actually if you watched other reviews you'd see I mention that China produced products CAN be built well, BUT it's all up to the owner of the brand, NOT the fact it's made in China. Many brands who produce in China are shooting for marginal quality for low cost. Sometimes that works, but often it doesn't, that's why the Price score works to offset it. I've manufactured in China for years, it's a choice of the brand owners on which market they're catering. Apple's products, for example, are all made in China and have excellent quality.
Lame uninformed comment.
