Frequently asked questions
How many cards should a slim wallet hold?
Four to eight covers most carries: two payment cards, ID, and a couple of everyday extras.
Are minimalist wallets practical?
If you rarely carry cash, yes, most men discover they only ever used a fraction of their old bifold anyway.
Front pocket or back pocket?
Front. It is more secure, easier on your posture when sitting, and the whole reason slim wallets exist.
Do slim wallets stretch?
Leather versions relax slightly to your card count over the first weeks, part of the appeal of real leather over rigid metal.
Can a slim wallet hold cash?
Folded bills, yes, most card holders include a centre pocket for a few folded notes.
