The Trucker wallet allows you to easily store cash straight in your wallet without folding, as well as carry several cards and receipts. You’ll notice the cash section conveniently over-extends allowing for struggle-free cash insertion (see video above). Built to stand the test of time: the rivets are wear proof and don’t tear like conventional stitching and the Full Grain leather is the toughest you will ever experience. The chain attachment hardware is riveted in place and will never let go like grommets. Consider opting for the popular Chain B – a stainless steel chain that will never rust (ask me – I use them for outdoor gate latches near the shop). Entirely USA Made in my small workshop.
Make it a perfect gift by getting your name or initials branded in there. I ship every order with a free tin of my shop-made leather conditioner, it’ll keep this wallet chugging along for many many years.
What Is Full Grain Leather?
This is the uppermost layer of hide with the most compact and dense fiber structure of any style of leather. It is by far the strongest type of leather you can use, resistant to wear, abuse and stretch. Full grain leather far surpasses the longevity of lower grades common in store bought items like top grain, bonded, genuine and patent leathers. You'll notice the difference immediately when you watch how beautifully this wallet ages with time and use.
This wallet will fit a large amount of credit cards depending on how you store them. The front two credit card slots will initially hold 5 each, more if you let the leather stretch – but remember it wont unstretch. The section just behind can be used for cards as well, but it is a full length section designed for either cards or cash or receipts. The section behind that is another full length section for cash and can hold a fairly good stack of it – this is the section that will over-extend for easy insertion. It tends to soften a bit in the first few weeks of use and will conform to your needs.
The wallet measures 7 7/8 inches wide x 4 inches tall and around 1/2 inch thick when folded. Personalization on this wallet will go on the inside, centered and just below the first line of rivets.

Here’s a look at how my customers’ wallets are aging over time. Each wallet will develop its own unique patina depending on how you use it, how often, and what it’s exposed to. That’s the magic of using high-end Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather.
