I only carry a few items, and I like a front pocket wallet. Does anyone here carry either the slim bifold wallet or the slim card holder?

The card holder is a little smaller, so curious if anyone carries either.

Also if anyone has another brand/leather option, let me know.

Maybe King Ranch store in Century Sq - College Station

Saddleback Slim Leather Card Wallet. I've had it for several years now after a recommendation here after always carrying a bifold or trifold previously. It has the same card holder on both sides and is big enough for 2-3 cards on each side and about 10 bills folded in half inside. Perfect for me as I always carry some cash but will never go back to a bigger bifold. Glad to see they still make it.

Been carrying C453 from this link in my front pocket daily for 13 years. Don't know that I'll ever need another one, but if I do I'll get one.

Snow monkey ambassador, I think that's the right user, makes some pretty badass leather wallets. Hopefully he'll chime in. I'll try and snag a picture of the one I have from him.

I have the slim bifold for a little over a year. It's been great except it doesn't carry much cash.

I've had this for several years and love it.

I went with Bull Sheath Leather. Made in Texas. I couldn't justify the cost of the saddleback for what I was after. Not sure if they have a style you like.

I have been using that one for years and love it. I probably stuff too many cards in there but it works great and doesn't take up too much space.

This one. I really like it

I carried this for a long time. Could fit a few cards and a little cash.

Flipped over to this one a few years ago:

It's great. Quality is good, holds exactly what I need. Can run front pocket or back pocket. Edit: just saw they're closing their doors on 3/31… sucks. Might order one to have as a backup.

I've got this one and love it. It's a bit more expensive but they have sales quite often and believe offer 30% off first purchase.

I switched to the slim card wallet a few months ago and like it a lot.

Thanks for the shoutout! I have a couple of designs I think would work great for the OP (new designs from the ground up). I'll grab a couple of pics and send them shortly.

As for Saddleback, they're not bad but you can do MUCH better for the price - completely handmade, better quality, etc. I won't go into all of that here, but even if you don't like my stuff I would point you elsewhere.

ETA: quick and dirty shot of my three new designs in various leathers. Better shots (showing the interiors) to come.

This has become my favorite. Very pocketable front pocket wallet, quick draw card slot for 1-2 cards in the back, another 6-8 cards and some folded cash inside. All full grain, vegetable tanned leather, hand cut, stitched, and finished by me. This is the patina from natural veg after a couple months of consistent carry.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas. I have looked at all the links. I probably should have added that I am coming from a non folding card holder so the cards are on the outside and there is a center pocket. I am mainly changing because I want one that folds. I travel occassionally for work, and I miss being able to put receipts in the middle until I get home.

Snow Monkey, those are very nice. I also think Saddleback is a bit expensive which is why I asked here. I look forward to looking at the ones you post. Also, my email is in my profile.

Emailed you

Slim is the answer, others are too big. Carry about 4 cards and 3-4 bills

Have had one of their folding ones with a strap for about 10 years. They don't make this one anymore, but it's been pretty indestructible.

Also have an older version of this bag that's about the same age. Also indestructible.

OP, I just saw your reply about folding option, but I was gonna post the one below. Figured I'd go ahead and post as it works for me and I retain receipts often.

If brand names, supporting local companies, etc. isnt a priority, I'm on my second one of these for front pocket carry and it's great. First one lasted 5+ years.

I use a saddleback bifold. Had it for years. They are great

Another Saddleback slim bifold user here. Had it for years, looks like It'll outlast me.

I've carried the saddleback front pocket ID wallet for 11 years now. Obviously, I'm a fan. Mine is an older design that just opens at the top of the wallet vs the top and side

I've carried the current version of the front pocket ID wallet for a few years now. It's great. Two credit cards on one side. ID and a card on other and a little cash in the middle and it's super thin and light weight.

I've had one of these wallets for about a decade now with no issues. It's cheap but I prefer it to the saddleback bifold wallet I had before this one.

I've got the Saddleback medium bifold and really like it. The older it gets, the better it looks. Like me! Lol. It'll be here after I'm gone.

Used Andrews gun leather in ostrich leg for years.

I have had the old version of this one (side is sewn so it only opens on top) for about 8 or 9 years and I don't have a doubt it can last another 10. Built like a tank, but I also don't shove it full of a ton of unnecessary stuff…etween licenses and cards, I carry only 7 cards and some cash.

The only reason I've thought of replacing it is to get this one so cash is easier to get cash in and out.

I've had the Gun Deck Mini from Open Sea Leather Company for a few years and really like it.

Had a Saddleback that I lost in the field dove hunting one year....found it 2 yrs later all chewed up by field mice and sunburnt. I ordered a bifold from SnowMonkeyAmbassador and I will say that it has held up to the abuse and not showing all the wear and tear that a saddleback does.

I've had this one from Saddleback for 16 years. It's just getting broken in. Been great. I'd say I'd buy it again, but I don't think I'll ever need to.

That's the one I have.

Out of curiosity, could you share a pic? Love seeing my stuff after it's been used and abused!
