The Thin Leather Wallet is designed to easily slip into your front pocket without the bulk. You can fit around 6 cards total and two small wads of cash on either side of the interior if you fold your bills first. It’s a practical wallet built for those who want to keep things simple, and one advantage of simplicity is that it’ll hold up for a long time. A new closure option has recently been added - if selected yours will be built with snaps to keep things snugly shut. Entirely handmade here in the USA in my small workshop. All orders include a free tin of my shop made, natural leather conditioner to help keep this piece in good shape through the 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 easily fit 4 -6 cards ( a few more if you allow the leather to stretch), receipts notes and bills. Bills fit by folding once and inserting into either side of the wallet.
The wallet measures approximately 4.25 x 3.33 inches (107mm x 84mm) when folded and is about 3/16 inch (4.7mm) at its thickest point.
The wallet will fit larger Euro bills and British bills when folded twice.
CLOSURE OPTIONS:
** Design Update: This wallet now comes with the option to add Button Snaps to help keep your cards and cash secure, and the wallet closed. It’s perfect for those needing that extra bit of security and works great if you tend to toss your wallet on a shelf, in your day bag, or on your desk. If you opt for the Button Snaps, we will install them as shown in the photos of the closure option. The buttons are solid brass and nickel plated, they increase the height and length of the wallet marginally ( 4 7/16″ x 3 5/8″).
CHAIN OPTIONS:
** Design Update: I recently updated the hardware used to attach the chain to the wallet. Instead of the grommet shown in the photos, I now use a very small triangular D-ring that is directly attached to the rivet. Photos coming soon!
OPTION A – Is a lighter weight steel with nickel plating. It’s about 18 inches long and the chain width is 3/16″ wide.
OPTION B – A nice heavy weight chain made of stainless steel with a stainless steel clip. Measures 18 inches long and a chain width of 7/16″ wide.
OPTION C – A sturdy Full Grain Leather strap is cut to 7/16″ width and riveted to a stainless steel clip on one end and a stainless steel split ring on the other. The leather color will match your wallet unless specified in the comment section at checkout. Measures about 18.5″ long.
OPTION D – This leather chain strap ends in a snapping belt loop meant to go over belts up to 1.75″ wide. Made from one piece of solid full-grain leather, the other end attaches you your wallet via a stainless steel split ring. Leather color will match your wallet unless specified in the comment section at checkout. Measures 19″ long from end to end, 7/16″ width on strap section, and 7/8″ width on snap section.
OPTION E – Want to attach your own chain? Choose this option and we will install a solid brass nickel plated grommet with stainless steel split ring so you can use your own chain. The grommet will be installed in the same location as the photos and placement cannot be customized.
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.
