Wallets for Men

A classic bifold suits someone who carries a lot: Mattia in nappa leather holds 16 cards, a large coin compartment and two full-length bill compartments. A slim wallet with 6 to 10 slots, like Kavorion Slim in Crazy Horse leather with 8 slots, fits a pocket without a bulge. In a pop-up card wallet the cards sit in a rigid case and slide out with a mechanism, like Slide, which holds up to 7 cards and pops them out at the press of a button. Before choosing, count how many cards you really carry.

Nappa leather is soft and supple to the touch, and Mattia, Venezia, Torino and Marco are made of it. Crazy Horse leather takes on a vintage look that improves with use, as on Raltheron Turbo, a slim wallet that weighs just 30 g and holds up to 10 cards. PU leather and aluminum appear mostly in the pop-up wallets, like Popup and Marvell. Wipe a genuine leather wallet with a dry cloth, condition it with leather cream every few months and keep it away from water and heat.

RFID blocking is a layer in the wallet that blocks wireless reading of contactless credit cards while they're inside. If you want a men's wallet with a zipper, Syltrax has a zip-around closure, 8 card slots, a bill compartment and a coin pocket, and on Exoris and Marco the coin pocket closes with a zipper. If you tend to lose your wallet, there are models with a dedicated AirTag slot, like The Dudes Pro and Krymorith Signature.
