00:00 Best Men's Wallet Introduction
As card and digital purchases have become more commonplace. Some argue the utility of a quality wallet is decreasing but a wallet is essential for organizing your cards, string spare cash, temporary storage of ephemera.
In addition to practical applications, wallets are an extension of your overall look and help express your personality.
01:27 History of the Wallet
Origins of the word wallet are relatively obscure. For most of its history, wallet referred generally to any leather case. Indicates wallets could look more like a knapsack than a modern wallet.
For most of human history, currency, primarily in the form of coins, was transported in pouches, chests, on strings, or even in people's mouths, according to some passages in Aristophanes. It wasn’t until the introduction of paper currency in the late 17th century that wallets began to be exclusively associated with carrying money.
06:03 Wallet Types - a. Coat Wallet
Because there are so many wallet types and your choice is dictated by functionality, comfort, and appearance, let’s examine wallet types according to these criteria: even though digital wallets and electronic payments abound these days
07:23 b. Minimalist Wallet/Cardholder
08:47 c. Billfold Wallet
09:30 d. Case/Pouch Wallet
11:04 e. Specialty and Travel Wallets
11:34 Wallet Materials - a. Rigid Materials
Wallets may have begun as leather pouches but now they’re available in a plethora of materials:
12:25 b. Plastic
12:30 c. Leather
14:29 Leather Quality
Check for aniline-dyed, not pigment coated. Aniline dying can only be done on superlative quality leather because it doesn’t hide anything from you. Characteristic leather pores should be visible.
16:23 Wallet Features & Construction Details
Some manufacturers will use leather on the exterior but opt for cheaper materials for the interior, like the divider or slots. We use full leather dividers for our Fort Belvedere Wallets.
17:46 Wallet Colors
Classic colors like brown & black have been popular for decades and complement any outfit but can be a little pedestrian. And while you could get a wallet in any color in the rainbow, that could be distracting.
Pairing interesting color combinations give wallets unique visual interest and personality without being distracting. Also, consider Contrast stitching. Another Classic subtle detailing choice Monogramming. We recommend blind-embossing by focusing on timeless and versatile detailing.
18:26 What Wallet is Best?
There are so many in the market and we've tried quite a few for this video and the previous times but there's a lot of change going on in the marketplace. Rather than giving you specific recommendations, we urge you to learn the quality of leather and when you can identify that, you can find a wallet that will work for you.
19:13 How Much to Spend on a Wallet?
As you’ve seen in our Is It Worth It? series, leather is one material where you really get what you pay for. For wallets, the cost is often dictated by how much leather was used to make them.

I've got a leather wallet, lights brown colour, made in England. My grandfather used it, my dad used it and now I'm using it. Its easily 50 years old.
Me too, my grandfather's 1975 wallet.
Meaningful heirlooms. Priceless 🔥
I got new wallet man German design
After trial and error we all come back to bi-folds in the end. After all, if you didn't care about using cash you wouldn't carry a wallet to begin with and just rely on apple pay instead.
People forgetting bout there ids
Very true
Not me. A minimalist wallet has worked very well for me.
Apple Pay’s get stolen all the time while with cash they can spend just as much as you have and credit cards today require double passwords and sms.
I purely only carry a wallet for 3 cards, everything else including ID and driver's license and 99% of everything else is on the phone apps/wallets. I haven't carried cash in more than 5 years now.
I have many cash clips, even one that folds out into a knife and a couple that are precious metal plated, yet my favorite by far is an 1884 Morgan dollar bezeled in sterling, the back being hexagon shaped
I bought a leather vertical bifold wallet from a street seller in Italy and it's been my favorite wallet for over 7 years now. I did get the wallet from my favorite movie but I eventually went back to the vertical bifold. Never going back to any thing else. Vertical bifold for life.
I did the gentleman's gazette test on the website to see which gentleman I am I am a vintage gentleman my brother is a modern gentleman in my stepfather was a classic gentleman I really do enjoy the questions but I do wish they were more simple and more easier to understand because I had trouble in understanding some of the questions and what they truly meant but I did enjoy the test
I discovered the vertical bifold many years ago. They tend to be slimmer. However, they are very hard to find in stores.
I have the Grip6 wallet. It’s a spring wallet with a full grain leather glove around the metal frame with some space for cash or an ID. I think that the one without the loop could fit more easily in the classic gentleman’s look due to that leather glove.
I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?
I have had a slim Travando wallet for sometime now. Card slots, money clip, keeps me from turning it into a filing cabinet. The design is pleasing and fits comfortably.
I definitely need a slimmer wallet so very informative video and right on time. By the way thanks for the previous response it's truly helpful. I have a follow up question regarding sweaters. When you wear V-necks and Cardigans with Dress shirts can they both be the same size? I already size up on Jackets so just making sure. Hope you gents enjoy your weekend!
I actually just replaced my old $20 faux leather wallet I had for years with a Ridge wallet. It was a Christmas gift from my uncle who gave one to my brother and I. Even if it’s not refined looking I find it functional enough and it was a nice gift.
I feel like the video is meant for an older audience. I feel like people just don’t carry a bunch of cards and cash with them, it’s 2022. Contactless payment, crypto, just defeat the purpose of using a regular wallet.

@@CJ-vs5mj apps don't always work trust me. And not every where accepts them.
@@CJ-vs5mj besides why would your trust big tech with your card info.
@@Kameron-The-Crafter big tech already has your card info the moment you got a card issued by a big bank :D
I actually use a women's wallet that closes with a snap. All the men's wallets I've seen and own has the card slots facing outward. The card slots in women's wallets face inward, so there's no concern for the cards to slip out without me noticing. I always keep it in my front pocket because having it in the back pocket is too uncomfortable. Plus, nobody can pickpocket it.
Just keep the cards up right in your pocket
Maybe you just are a woman...
I purchased a fort belvedere wallet. The burgundy and teal one.
I got it I think 2 or 3 years ago and it almost looks like the day I purchased it (minor scuffs only from dropping it and having a few drinks and deserts spill on it when I put it on the table when I used to date)
I carry it with me every day and I am impressed with the craftsmanship.
I would recommend everyone to shell out these $270 for the wallet as it will last you (from what I see for now) a lifetime, during which you will probably use 20 wallets that cost $20.
You save the planet, and you save your future self money.
Go for it!
Oh wow. I looked up the receipt. I am going on 5 years soon.
The reciept is from October 4th 2017 hahaha
@@PureInsanity Very happy to hear you're still enjoying your Fort Belvedere wallet!
Got mine more recently, glad to hear i got a long future ahead with this one b/c that exactly what I wanted
That was by far the best comprehensive breakdown of gentlemen's wallets or young men's wallets.😉 Thanks for taking the time to put this together it's always great learning something new. Takecare!
Got presented an 18€ leather wallet in 2012. Still going strong after almost 10 years of daily use 💪
IDK pounds to dollars, but I bought a
I have a Gucci wallet that I got as a gift. I've had it for probably about 15 years now and it's only gotten better with age.
I use brown bear wallet man
Especially in these times my chain wallet has kept my valuables safe several times from pick pockets, doesn't go well with long overcoats though with it bulging. My inside pocket becomes my wallet at that point and people dont mess with people with long coats.
Something about the minimalist wallets that's great is that they can actually fit in the coin pocket of your jeans, neat and out of the way!
I don't feel right without a wallet. I have coat wallet and I love it!
Leather is the most stylish. I guess most don’t care for their wallet like they would their shoes.e.g polishing. What do you think of coin purses. Nothing worse than change putting holes in trouser pockets? Always had to repair holes in my partners trouser pockets..
For an upcoming Scotland holiday I’m getting a jacket wallet since I’ll likely be wearing a jacket every day. When wearing a jacket I find them much more convenient and when wearing a kilt the jacket wallet is eminently practical
Thank you, this has been quite informative.
Quality does count. I had many regular wallets that don't last but my Gucci wallet is still hanging in there after 20 years.
I wonder, is there a protocol describing where you should hold your wallet? I mean, what pocket, trousers, jacket, etc... What is the correct use of all your other pockets. This may seem frivolous, but after some real-life scenarios and experimenting, I've got to say, it's paramount to wallet use and/or pocket use. I just wonder if there are guidelines for this subject from which I could learn on. Thx.
Currently, my cell phone case has an integrated wallet and I get compliments on it. Really very nice. Probably won't last as long as my Eel skin wallet from dept store 10? yrs ago. Still looks great.
The Ford Belvedere one looks sick!!💯
I use an Ashland leather shell cordovan amaretto wallet that is fantastic! When I find it too thick with 6 cards and 10-15 bills, I switch to a Il bisonte billfold that is very thing, too! Great video! Very relaxing:)
Wallets need to stop with those plastic windows for IDs. We always have to take our IDs out to show it so that plastic window doesn't do anything. The other gripe about those plastic windows is that over period of time, they change colors. To me it makes the wallet look cheap.
Is the Louis Vuitton damier bifold mens wallet a good wallet ?
Just came back to this video...I just got a Bellroy Hide & Seek in Green Leather. Bit expensive around $100 but I've had other products from this brand and they've gained my loyalty. 😅
I tried using a cheaper leather wallet and it held up for maybe a year, planning to invest a little more for a higher quality wallet soon
I use a Coach card holder. Theres 3 card pockets on one side. A clear id pocket on the other and a middle slot where you can fit folded bills. Its way thinner than any folding wallet.
I have a black leather coffin shaped wallet with metal studs at the corners. It flips open and fastens shut with a button. It also says, Never Trust The Living on the front. Only problem is it doesnt have a coin purse or bill slot. It's a bit of a goth style, but i think its slim size and black color can fit with just about any style.
I stick to my cash, and I am in horror of the day when there will be no cash anymore!
Cash is freedom, if all is in cards and in smartphones we are in the hand of our regulators behind the curtains! Think about it.
I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?
I like a simple, practical and low profile wallet.
Thank you sir ❤️
Great video guys. I wouldn’t look to spend more than £100 on a wallet as I don’t have need to use it everyday.
What's the sweater? Colhays?
The bulk and heaviness of my wallet is really bugging me. I opted for a new one the other day that looked slimmer (my previous on is worn out anyway) turns out the reason why it looked slimmer was because it's actually bigger so it's more cumbersome than the previous one, i wait to see how it gets old (and even though it was cheap, I will wear it out long enough to get used to it and to fond the right way for me to carry: my id, my debit cards, my bus subscription, my license in the future, bank notes, coins and some fidelity cards (might upgrade those to a seperate card wallet but coins are the biggest of the bulk for me and i have to constantly have a coin on my person since i'm grocery shopping once a week)
I do not keep my wallet in my trousers as i find it uncomfortable so i'm glad to discover coat wallets exist
Ooh i really like the idea of the cigar/pouch/makeup holder wallet
I'm non binary,i knit and sew a lot and i have a huge clasp (think tiny minimalist granny purse clasp, i guess i might make a pocket purse or something)
I love my rfid blocking trigger wallet. I still even have a magic wallet from the 90s or early 2000s
Hello, I'm a huge fan of the 1910s and I was wondering if you could make a video on from what I've learnt people call it, a Open crown hat? It's a bowler with a large brim, anyway, just wondering if you could make a video on it because I'd love to learn some more about it! Thank you!
An open crown is when the top of the hat hasn't received a specific shape yet. You can find out more about the terminology in our Fedora guide, here: www.gentlemansgazette.com/fedora-hat-guide/?
I would never get anything with elephant leather! Thank you for the video though; your video’s provide a great amount of interesting historical information.
My Saddleback Leather wallet is super thin, holds all my cards and various sizes of cash. Plus they are warranted for life. Basic, well constructed and real quality leather.
Card holder is my preference wallet. Especially the one where you can insert a bit of cash in as well.
I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?
My Coins are always in a little coinbag on my belt. Disliked them in my billfold wallet, because they stretched it on long terms. Now I use in combination to my coinbag a coatwallet usable even for larger papers like receipts for payment.
A few years ago o bought a Sherman brand leather wallet for about $20. Made in China. It’s the only wallet I’ve seen that has all the features I need. Like the clear part for my license, two slots for my main cards, and enough room for a bit of cash. Plus a few other features that I like. It’s still Going strong.
I bought pre owned Louis Vuitton bifold mens wallet today 10/4/2023 for 13,500 and I notice there are cracks already at the center area
The back pockets on a trouser are for gloves and handkerchiefs, you can comfortably have a wallet with coin pouch at the front pocket and I don’t think is a good idea carrying a smartphone that could bend at back pockets, so left front pocket for wallet and right for smartphone.
I was hoping you guys would touch on brands like Ettinger.
Call me old fashioned but when travelling I carry two wallets, both Swaine Adeney. One is a coat wallet because I like the smooth non-bulky line of a coat wallet, plus a regular wallet for the back pocket when not wearing a jacket. Yes, it can be a bit awkward moving cash and cards from one to the other, but it works for me.
The pockets for credit-cards MUST face the fold and not 'up' where a worn wallet will spill the contents.

18:56 about thickness, the top one looks the best to me. Looks like they used the thickest leather behind the pockets and the thinner stuff on the outside. Also see some use 1mm all the way around which doesnt look bad either
I think I'm going to make one like that, cuz i was thinking about putting the thickest leather in the back. Maybe 1.2-1.4mm in the back, and behind the pockets using a thinner one, like .8mm. I'm in Miami and im exotic leather crafting with invasive snake and iguana skin, using pull up, pueblo and vechetta , full grain veg tans. Any tips or suggestions? Will check out your other videos. Great info, thanks!
Got my wallet from Amazon..for 20 bucks...Love it..
in these days of mobile phone hacking credit cards, the most important thing for me is that the wallet islined with anti RFID anti cloning material, and i carry two slimline monogramed wallets, one for notes or bills and one for cards, cash in back pants pocket or inside right jacket pocket and cards inside left
p.s. I also carry my visiting/calling cards seperately in a high polish silver card case in the small inside left jacket pocket, much more stylish to hand a calling card than fumbling with a mobile phone to give personal details
Satchel & Page, absolutely fantastic
Excellent video
Hi Sven, great insight into wallets' history and thanks for providing gentleman's opinion. Wallets are such elegant accessories that I am really interested in their future in the context of modern ways of payments.
As a leathercrafter I would like to provide some comments/recommendations/observations. Here, I disclaim that leathercrafting is my hobby and I have no intentions to support any leathercrafting businesses.
By a gentlemen I always understand a man that, besides "being a man of good and courteous conduct", carries a certain "nobility" in his lifestyle.
1) Wallet is a very personal piece of accessory, selection of which very depends on deep person's taste and preferences. I strongly recommend NOT to provide a wallet as a gift unless the gifted person chooses it. High risk of the gifted person will not like it.
2) There are a few grades of leather. The best is full-grain vegetable tanned leather. Only full-grain does consists of the entire top layer ("skin") and has the most dense fabric structure, which ensures its durability; other types like top-grain, split, or genuine leather are cheap alternatives that try to look like full-grain to disguise a customer. Veg tanning lasts longer and uses natural ingrediencies (e.g., tree bark), while chrome tanning is a cheap mass production that may chemically interact with metals in your wallet.
3) Exotic leathers do not necessarily have better material properties than good old cow hide.
4) Like watches, different wallets are used for different situations. Gentlemen shall use different wallets for travelling, for visiting theatre, for a dinner in a restaurant, for every day carry, etc. You can have a "bigger" wallet in you briefcase and a "smaller" wallet for your essentials or the most frequently used items; actually, I have seen this operational model for quite a few of my customers.
5) The best way for a gentleman to have a wallet that reflects his personality is by ordering a bespoke wallet at leathercraft shop. Gentlemen can then define his needs and preferences - purpose, design, expected wallet load - these are the key questions I ask my customers. You may have a set of wallet with matching design, or a design that matches your other leather accessories (maybe made by the same leathercrafter). No limits. Leathercrafters have plenty previous projects that may inspire a gentlemen.
6) Like watches (again), by using a wallet custom made by a professional leathercrafter a gentleman shows off an accessory of an ultimate craftmanship. If the gentlemen wants to show off an expensive product, exotic leathers are not necessary. Leathercrafters have no problem to incorporate such an artistic level to a wallet by using carving, stamping and other artistic techniques that the price can be high enough so that the gentlemen is not ashamed :).
7) A gentleman takes care of his surroundings, including environment and its future. Firstly, the gentleman shall generally opt for a high quality durable timeless products so he minimizes waste production; full-grain veg tanned leather fits this perfectly as humans use leather for quite a few thousands of years. Secondly, the gentleman shall prefer leathers that are side products of other agricultural processes (e.g., cow hides, shell cordovan, goat leather) instead of using leathers of endangered species.
I hope you find my comments interesting and useful.
I adore the Ridge wallet. It ended my search for a wallet, and if I ever lose it or wear it out, I'll get another one. I hate having stuff in my pockets, so the ridge works because I never carry more than a few cards on me, and took the money clip off, so on the off chance I have cash I use a separate money clip.
Only use cardholder or pay with my phone. Haven’t used cash in many years.
I have a zip up cordura wallet (due to the nature of my job, and a coat wallet that only comes out of my neck pocket about 1.5 inches
My brother is using wallet nd good experience nd good explanation sir many useful this wallet .I like leather wallet but I'm not using😆many peoples are used this👏 ur voice noice nd clearly😁
Business cards 100%! Not essential, but it makes an impression.
We certainly think so, too! Have you seen our guide about business card cases? www.gentlemansgazette.com/business-card-case-definitive-guide/?
Burgundy is a great color for a wallet.
quite right, a wallet is a must, and a backup wallet (stuffed with expired cards), to give to the muggers who stand-and-deliver the unwary
Ashland Leather is all you need. I have several from them.
Nice. I just ordered a new wallet. I hope it meets the standard.
I also make wallets, but they are made of carbon fiber. I am testing them now, and I can give you one for free. Contact me if you are interested
Your so rite about wallets
I still have a wallet gifted to me BEFORE Poland changed (1988), pre Cold War. Quite nice.
I still carry cash! So a nice slim leather wallet. Is great for me
Could you analyse the style of raymond reddington from "The Blacklist" please? He is one of my favorite characters in fiction and has a, as I think, very cool style and I would love to see a expert analyse it.
Im here after getting a 20usd leather wallet and seeing if i messed up getting a bulky sort of outdated wallet instead of a metal slim low profile wallet
I am 16 tho
Suggesting that you need to spend $250-300 to get a good quality billfold is ridicilous. You can buy a whole leather jacket for that kind of money.
I need wallets and have several types. I carry my driver's license, 2 insurances cards, credit card (S) gift cards the list goes on.
Then one in my pocket now has been through the laundry several times. but it aged well.
Where I live if you pay by credit or debit card, it is taken from your account only 3-4 days after, so you rapidly lose track of your spendings. While if you use hard cash, you know exactly how much you have. Wallet is needed
Mont Blanc credit card holder is perfectly sufficuent for my needs and looks and feels nice.
when i was young my dad said don't use a money clip because people will see all your cash.put away in a wallet is best. i use a smaller wallet from the Duluth Pack company.heavy leather and slots for cards and driver's license hide everything.the little cash i carry go's in a pocket.
The biggest problem with a good wallet, is that in our country we use a lot of coins (euros is currency) so in most cases the coin part is getting broken for a lot.
In France people who are in man style say that coins should go into your pocket, while the wallet is for everything else.
I always carry cash. Arguably a better option than a card, because you realize how much you are spending, and it feels more proper. on the other hand, bulkier
It’s my N1 reason to use cash. I know how much left.
I have the trayvax contour titanium wallet,very good wallet.
I have just stumbled across this video and channel today and I really love the guide on wallets. I'm wondering if anyone sees this comment if they can point me to a brand/website that sells good quality billfold wallets that can also monogram them like mentioned in the video. I've been using an old wallet thats pretty much in tatters for the longest time and thought a good upgrade was due. Any help is appreciated.
I carry some of my money in my bifold wallet and the rest is inside my case phone so it won't overstuffed, I think it's a neat trick
In 2022 there are many websites and one large one in particular that sell artisan products. You can buy a real leather wallet , choseing not just style but material made by a real person in small quantities for a fraction of a " branded wallet ".
No comment on Costanza wallet?
Interesting that you referred to the “modern” £1 note. The £1 note was actually withdrawn back in 1988 in favour of the £1 coin. The lowest value note in the UK is the £5 note.
The £1 note does look nice tho, I wouldn't mind flipping off coins and going full on with notes. :)
@@ninetynein6853 Did look nice, it hasn’t existed for 34 years and won’t be coming back.
Although it's not being made anymore, the £1 note is still in circulation in Scotland
@@gentlemansgazette Indeed, but nobody actually uses them. I can’t remember the last time I saw a Scottish £1, and I visit Scotland regularly.
But the note you showed, which was very clearly a Bank of England £1 note, was withdrawn in 1988 - which was my point.
I remember one pound notes in northern ireland when visiting family when I was younger. Legal tender yet some cashiers in england would turn their nose up at it
Do your wallets have rfid protection? It's easy for scammers to scan cards these days . It happened to me once now I use a rfid card holder. And put it in front pocket .
I bought my leather wallet from Mr Lentz 7 years ago and it’s just got better with age, has no stitching - it uses rivets instead.
Really love it and can recommend their wallets to anyone who wants to invest in a proper piece of leather, handcrafted and honestly affordable
Billfold is the best. A fee card slots. And a clip for money.
Delvaux Belgium wallets are the best imo I have several vintage ones Delvaux is the oldest luxury leather manufacturer in the world at the same level as Hermes !
The best is whatever works for you and your particular circumstance. IMHO best quality, lowest quality are just terms that some mistakenly attribute to a persons self concept.
I am using a Secrid steel case wallet, but I can't recommend it. It's destroying my trousers.
I find buying a new leather wallet every 5 to 10 years when my old one crumbles to be one of the simple pleasures in my somewhat complicated life.
Satchel and Paige Money Clip is Great 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?
Shell cordovan leather is the best, highly recommend the brand ashland leather who use horween leather.
Concur. One of the best comments here. I laugh at users of Ridge and similar wallets. Two plates and a strap to hold folded money on the outside. Sorting through cards like a deck of playing cards.
I own my great Grandfather’s wallet from the 1920s… it’s a great piece but after a 100 years of use it starts to fall apart. I now own a Buffalo leather wallet.
I own a brown bear leather wallet
We haven’t had a £1 note in the UK since 1988.
I had no idea about coat wallets, and I'm very amused because I just recently switched from a standard modern wallet to a phone case wallet. It now occurs to me that the phone case wallet is the modern equivalent, just with only the wallet part on one side, and your cellphone on the other.
I've been concerned with RFID signal intervention and now keep my cards in a metal cigarette case, along with my car key fob.
The best wallets is the normal old school compact wallet.
It carries your cards, and cash without making anything visible.
These small card holders expose everything you have with you, and thats not good.
In the end people will return to the old school method.
These new card holders or minimal wallets aren't practical. I always return to my small compact wallet made from real leather and still is in very good shape after 10 years.
There's no modern £1 note. Its a coin and has been for some time
The best Portmonnaie is something filled with enough money😊
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 For 50 plus I have carried my money in a classic Ronson with lighter deactivated. ALIGATOR wallet for rest. 🏄
