    I bought the Huskk wallet when you showed it on your $250 budget carry video. I've been carrying it since then and can say it's a good one. I keep 4 cards and about 10 bills folded up in my pocket. It's still nice and slim and the pull tab makes it easy to get my cards out.

  • @CaseyHardman
    @CaseyHardman Před 4 lety +1

    I've gone from the normal trifold/bifold leather wallets in the back pocket, to the Mstrmnd Apex 2.0 (great card holder if you don't carry much/zero cash!), to the Trayvax Axis (solid build but adjusting the strap to accommodate for more cards/cash is a huge pain - also the new version looks even more annoying), back to the Apex 2.0, and now I've finally (for now lol) settled on the Stow wallet. I got the 8-card version, but I can easily fit 10 cards and several bills. Even though I don't carry cash often, I needed something that could hold a few bills and this thing is perfect for that. The front card is quite exposed, so if you're worried about that, it might not be for you. Fortunately that doesn't bother me and it's currently the perfect wallet for me!

    Ive been in to gadget wallets for a while now and I go back and forth between HuMn and a slim leather wallet. The leather versions I swap in and out always seem to get worn or stretched a bit to the point that cards come flying out and I go back to the HuMn.
    I recently got a Trayvax Summit and also ordered an XSTO to try out. Thus far the Summit seems pretty great s you've reviewed, slim, easy, durable. I ordered some elastic to swap out the canvas strap to try something I saw on another video that seems more versatile with the Summit.

    • @MarcWard
      @MarcWard Před 4 lety

      @@garrettmeyer9674 I like it so far the footprint is nice in the pocket. The strap does start to work loose though I've noticed and cards want to fall out after taking one out, which is kind of a bummer and then I have to worry about orientation when placing into my pocket. I do like the smooth edges and the strap does offer some pocket protection for my phone. How about you?

    I have never seen the appeal of a metal wallet. They just seem so sharp and obtrusive. I already carry and knife and phone with hard corners. A nice supple leather wallet is bae.
    I wish you had included a bellroy card pocket. I carried one for 3 years and love it. I’ll probably go back to it soon. I got a Das Offene & Meer stitchless, and it’s definitely super nice, I just love the card pocket so much

  • @mattking8728
    @mattking8728 Před 4 lety

    Ezra Arthur makes some amazing stuff. The slim wallet shipped from Bespoke post is a thinner veg tan leather that I think was just for that specific club shipment. If you buy from Ezra Arthur directly you get better quality, and their gear is freaking awesome.

    Based on this review I ordered a few wallets, the Misc Goods being one of them. I love the Misc Goods wallet. When you see it online it doesn’t look like much, but it is perfect for me. It holds plenty, although less than I used to carry. It is soft and pliable, which makes it very comfortable in the pocket. I love the Misc Goods wallet and recommend it.

I love the ID display and in typical SL fashion, these things are made to last with daily abuse. I've used mine every day since 2012. Since you like leather, check out there belts, bags and other gear...would recommend to anyone.

    I've used a lot of minimalist wallets over the years, and I think the Exentri tri-fold is an amazing, compact, do-it-all with full cash slot wallet available. If you use multiple cards and carry cash, and want a small footprint ( front pocket friendly ) this is something to check out. It really is nice. I picked up a couple different wallets since, but can't find anything that compares to it's size and functionality ( you don't have to play origami with bills like other wallets)

  • @TakeCareMan
    @TakeCareMan Před 3 lety

    It all depends on the purpose of a "minimalist" wallet. For me, it means it must be thin. So far that criteria, Vanquest's Cache takes the crown due to it's 2x2 card design that spreads out the cards into the flattest configuration possible.

    I make wallets like this, minimalist wallets are great. I made a wallet like cave but with 2 pockets and leather strap, looks much better, because of you can't see the stitching on front pocket and much more useful, 2 pockets are better than 1. But one of my favourite models is 3 pocket vertical wallet, only stitched in bottom, you can find STR handmade wallet, this is almost thew same. Easy to operate and very spacy for this size, easily fits 8 cards and couple slips of cash. Mini bifolds are nice too, 3 card pockets and flap for cash inside, 1 card pocket outside
