I need a new wallet.
The things I'm looking for are:
- bifold
- full grain leather
- slim
- made in the USA (the closer the better)
| Rank | Manufacturer | Name | Price | Made in | Material | Product URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Minnesota Leather Works | No. 9 Wallet | $100 | St. Paul, MN | Full grain leather | https://leatherworksminnesota.com/collections/wallets/products/no-9-wallet |
| 2 | Ashland | Johnny the Fox | $145 | Chicago, IL | Full grain leather | https://ashlandleather.com/products/johnny-the-fox-cypress-brown |
| 3 | Minnesota Leather Works | Dad’s Billfold | $65 | St. Paul, MN | Full grain leather | https://leatherworksminnesota.com/collections/wallets/products/dads-billfold |
| 4 | Rogue Industries | Heritage Wallet | $55 | Maine | Genuine cowhide | https://www.rogue-industries.com/collections/american-made-leather-wallets/products/heritage-wallet |
| 5 | Main Street Forge | BIFOLD LEATHER WALLET FOR MEN | $60 | Michigan | Full grain leather | https://mainstreetforge.com/products/bifold-leather-wallet-for-men-made-in-usa-mens-bifold-wallets-american-made |
| 6 | The Buffalo Billfold Company | Mens Bifold Leather Wallet | $70 | Worthington, MN | Bison leather | https://buffalobillfoldcompany.com/shop/mens-bifold-leather-wallet |
And some justifications for the given ranks:
- It looks great, it's made from quality leather, and it's practically made in my back yard.
- It looks great, it's made from quality leather, and it's made within a day's drive of me. I might slightly prefer this aesthetically over #1.
- It looks great, it's made from quality leather, and it's practically made in my back yard, but I don't like the design of the card pockets.
- It looks very well made and the price is incredibly low, but I can't determine whether or not they use full grain leather. It's also made the furthest away in Maine.
- Aesthetically I think #4 is a bit better, though they are a very similar design. They specifically say they use full grain leather but they're also 2nd from furthest away.
- Seems well made and it's made from bison leather which sounds cool, but the logo on the front is a little too much for me. They are the second closest manufacturer.
