- Here are my picks for the 10 BEST wallets of 2023. Unlike last year, this year's picks were more difficult than normal. That's due to more high-quality releases this year than in the past.
Do you agree with my picks? If not, let me know below what your top 10 picks are. Or if you're like me and slightly lazy, give me your top 3!

Appreciate you Chris and honored to be on the list again with the Swaddle Wallet. Some incredible options landed this year and I'm grateful to be featured among them!
Yaaay, I’ve been waiting for this!
Thank you Chris. This means a lot to me. I know how many great wallets dropped this year from some very creative and talented makers. To be on this list at all is an honor, let alone twice. Thank you to you and your viewers. Your channel is a gift to us all.
Great design and quality - I just had to order!
calling it The Dillinger is badass
I really wanted to say one thing who wanted to buy speakeasy leather wallets ……the waiting time is too late 😢. After watching this videos I too order one of them however after waiting for 2 months still the waiting period is two more months. If someone who can wait for this long period can buy it…..it’s my personal opinion and my experience
@Varunkumar-yf9sz it's not for a lack of trying. We received over 1200 orders, that's more than a year's worth of orders in under 4 months. To maintain the quality that I offer I will not take short cuts. These are artisan quality items made by hand that you get to customize, not some machine made ridge wallet made by people who don't care. The wait may be long, but we make sure that for those that are patient, that it is worth it. Every day I get emails from people who have received their wallets letting me how much they love them and how it is worth the wait. Maintaining the standard of perfection is important, especially for how long the wait is. If you are willing to wait that long you deserve nothing less than perfection. Some orders have up to 4 wallets on them alone, so with 1200 plus orders, it's more like 1600 items. I haven't had a day off since November because I am dedicated to getting everyone their order. Being a maker isn't easy, we learn a lot of lessons the hard way. This experience has taught me a lot about how to handle a big launch, and I am incredibly grateful for the support and patience of everyone who has ordered. It's humbling, stressful, and amazing all at once. For those who have been supportive and patient I truly thank you. You will not be let down with what you receive. -Rob
I just asked my spouse to buy me the Dillinger. Really nice!
Hey Chris - thanks to you, I just ordered #1 - enjoy the holidays!
Thank you Chris! Its an honor to make it on your list! I appreciate the support!
Great video as always! Completely agree with your opinion. I'm currently waiting to receive my Johnny wallet, can't wait to try that one. I really think it could be the wallet for me, as I was waiting for something like that!!
Ordered # 1. Thanks for the discount.
I was waiting for this video🙂👍🏻Can’t wait to see what you picked for this video
Do you agree with my picks?
Thanks for another great video review, all pretty much leather I was thinking Geogrit wallet maybe in the top 10. Anyway Happy Holiday and yes the ranking was fair and accurate.
Excellent list! All great wallets.
Nice video man. love the the Lucus wallet. I hate snaps on my wallet.
Always love your top 10’s but I would love to hear you speak on all 10 wallets instead of just 5 just to see how you liked them after using them for the whole year.
Your reviews help me decide what I will create in the months to come. I am a struggling leather crafter and rely on your reviews for my next great design. Thanks for all you do.
What’s your company name?
@@ChrispyThings I replied but I guess CZcams didn't like my links. It's JFClay Leather, I am only getting started. I have a very small channel on YT and sell a few patterns on gumroad, as well as a few items on big cartel. Not posting the links as it will get deleted apparently.
Just copped the Dil thanks to your review! I have had many many many many EDC/slim wallets (Trayvax, OS, LostDutch,C&L, etc)... I am soooooo excited for this one! Thank you again for all your content. Much appreciated.
Love that No: 1 wallet mate. We have a similar one but with magnets. Cheers cobber from Australia.
My favorite wallet of the year is the topsider bifold lt and the jhonny wallet was my second favorite
Great video! Totally agree with this list. Especially your top choice. The majority of wallets I own are Speakeasy wallets. Rob is definitely on a whole other level. I ordered a Dillinger from Rob, also in the Tobacco Badalassi Carlo leather. Looking forward to obtaining it and giving it a carry! I’m already anticipating it becoming my top wallet. Be well!
Good choice!
Just ordered 2 of your # 2 pick 🔥 from Open Sea Leather. Michael’s work is next level. Their same
Day shippers Dublin horween Topsider Bifold LT with QD are 10% 👏
The video I was asking for! Great picks. I would have put the lucas higher but I can't argue with your top 3. I don't have the speak easy so I can't say much on that one but I have the other two and for me the johnny wallet is the best. I know you have a prototype but I got the November addition and it's beautiful and functional. Also I'm a cash guy so for me it's better than the little speak easy but that wallet looks amazing too. Might have to buy it and try it out and maybe carry cash on a clip or something.
I’d love to upgrade from my prototype. Soon maybe. Glad you liked my picks
I've been waiting for this video! I love Speakeasy wallets.
Hey Chris have you ever tried or tested a Taurus Camp wallet?
I carry 15 cards plus cash. What do you think the best wallet is for me? I used the ridge and it was not good at all, I also use a trifold and it’s to big and bulky
kislux versace bag is so cute
Nice -- I love Rob's work, too -- still waiting for my DIllinger, so haven't managed to carry it yet. I love Willow Craft as well. And one that didn't come up on your channel (I don't think), Orraman's Clann wallet has been a great carry for cards and cash.
Willow Craft is nice but too big in my opinion to be considered a front pocket wallet.
@@ermal6157 They make several different wallets, some plenty small; but I'm fine with the swaddle medium or small size in front pocket, generally. It all depends how much cash I need to carry at the time. On this list of makers, I've also loved some Open Sea wallets.
Very surprised to see the Lucais wallet on here. I know you liked it but didn't think it'd make top 10. Great list as always!
I really liked it when I carried it.
Chris, I am an older guy that is currently using a trifold wallet designed to be worn in a rear pocket. I have recently switched to carrying the wallet in my front left pocket and have decided I want to switch to a wallet designed to wear in a front pocket. Old habits are difficult to break and I know that I am currently carrying way too much in my current wallent. However, I am concerned about trying to make a jump into a Minimalist Wallet that is lets say, too limited. So, I would like to ask for your thoughts as I am currently considering the Willow Swadle, the Speakeasy Bodhi V3 and a Big Finn by Lost Dutchman. I really appreciate your reviews and hope you or someone will provide their comments to the wallets I am considering.
My favorite wallet was the cask by orraman. Purchased it after your review and it's my favorite of 2023 by far
So glad to be a part of it. But I think we should be disqualified...
We launched this bad by in 2014.
Can you review a Peterson dublin wallet (they mainly sell pipes ) but I use a Peterson wallet
I like the Get Set Gear Bruce a little better than the OS Topsider Bifold LT. They share the same basic design, with the Topsider LT having the extra slit in the front to separate out a card in the inside compartment. But I found that slit warping the card I put in there a little bit, which was a bit of a bummer. I also liked the deep cutout on the inside compartment of the Bruce that makes it really easy to access the card stack. I personally liked the look of the Bruce better as well. Both as good wallets as the basic design is sound, but I personally would put the Bruce ahead of the Topsider Bifold LT.
What color is the speakeasy wallet?
Hi , your #1 pick is in Tabacco Color and which color thread did you choose and the snap color too ?
Both black
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux
Bro, Dillanger or Rowan bt Grove? I wanna see wm side by side with your thoughts. Appreciate the reviews my friend. Keep doing your thing.
Love the Rowan but I’m giving it to the Dillinger here
I thought the Speakeasy D'Avella would've at least made the top 10. Maybe it did last year. Anyways, I knew the Dillinger would be #1. I think I'll order one. Awesome video bro.
It didn’t qualify. There’s no new versions and it wasn’t new to me in 23
@@ChrispyThings I gotcha.
Im surprised the rat pack v2 from sin city leather wasnt on there. Its a really good wallet and he makes good stuff
The lucias is my favorite wallet
For international viewers/travelers euro (and other bank notes) and their fit would be very interesting.
I know it doesn’t qualify but the Slim Clip is my ultimate favorite ! Not into leather wallets anymore I been carrying the Slim Clip for over 15 years now. Bought it at 7-11 for $5.99 back in 2008 just happened to notice it while standing in the check out line. Ended up being my ultimate favorite. My second choice would be The Ridge with money clip.
I just can't get used to all these card holders with flaps everywhere. I just need an old fashioned bi fold.
A wallet must have a compartment for coins.
Interesting list if you carry a minimalist wallet of which I am not one.
Since I wear a suit to work every day, I carry a breast pocket wallet with RFID protection.
Why a breast pocket wallet? I don't have to sit on a wallet all day at work.
I think almost every wallet made these days are marketed as a “minimalist” wallet, unless it’s an obvious beast of a trifold
Lost Dutchman!
you gotta get some sin city leather wallets
Do they make card wallets? The buttons are annoying
@@ermal6157 They have a few, the woodford, wicked, and wave model. If you want logo variations on it or different leather, the owner will probably make it for you, he does small alterations to the designs for a small fee
Not sanding picture you start video second no wallat is my favrat wallet please send me i send adrass
I can't get into Speakeasy stuff. I think the branding looks pretty terrible and it just ruins the whole thing for me. It's the OS Bifold LT for me all the way. I have several including one in Blue Marbled Shell and it's a work of art.
would it of killed you to use new and old hundred dollar bills for this video?
Yes. Yes it would’ve.
I’m kidding. What effin difference would that make?
Snaps. No thanks.
I didnt care for the rest speakeasy is what I wanted to win 😊..
Open sea leather is over rated
Did lost dutchmen made any new?
Lost dutchman is a scam
that hidden knife wallet is kinda stupid. one saying it's a john wick wallet is stupid in itself cuz john wick doesnt need a hidden knife in his wallet when he can kill a dude with he bare hands or a pencil. also if ur in a situation where u need to defend urself with a knife, chances are someone is robbing u with a gun or a knife demanding ur stuff. ur not gonna fish ur wallet out and then having to go into it folding over flaps to try and get ur lil dagger out to fight someone off with a gun.
Disagree. Nice anime profile pic btw… 🙄
Sorry not of this wallets will make my top ten….
None taken. Not everyone has good taste. Lol.
Just kidding bud. So I asked what would make your top list in the video. What are they?
You have a preference for some funky leather folding wallets with buttons. Ive tried like at least 7 wallets in the last year to replace my old one ive had for 6 years. The majority of the wallets are better than your top 3. No alpaka, no Bellroy, no distil?.... Then you include that ugly typical #10😮
Nah. I’ve tried those wallets you’ve mentioned as well.
None worthy of my top 10. Not even close
And Distil? Go watch my Wally review and see how I feel about that.
Anything else? 🤣
No response. Can’t say I’m surprised.
Have a nice day
@@ChrispyThings Why are you not surprised? I didn't see the notification for a response. Not like I'm scared to be criticized😂 Didn't see those videos I'll have to watch and get back to you
@@ChrispyThings What also got me is no Tauruscamp base or coin wallet. A lot of these wallets definitely copied or got some inspiration from those wallets. Hey and it's got your favorite snap button lock. It looks quite elegant too. I'm aware that you don't have the money to be wasting to buy all these wallets but I'm sure they would send your channel a review unit. That's the one that got me. Bellroy and distil I can understand. I like alpakas new wallet but that Tauruscamp one is too good to ignore.
