Men’s wallets should be practical and smart — unfortunately, most of them are neither. Not only do old-school wallets tend to weigh you down, but they also make your pants look uncomfortably snug. There is also a diminishing demand for them now, considering the shift from physical cash payments to online transactions. This is why consumers are now leaning towards slim men’s wallets.
As the name suggests, these are lighter and more compact than traditional wallets. They don’t allow any space for cramming unnecessary items like receipts, coupons, or the card of a stranger you met at a conference once. You can discard the extra baggage and carry only everyday essentials, such as cash, cards and ID. They can easily be tucked inside your front or back pockets, making your silhouette look less bulky and lumpy. Moreover, the streamlined and minimalistic design reflects the modern man’s lifestyle, making slim men’s wallets a status symbol of sorts.
Treehut has prepared a curated guide below to help you choose one, either for a gift (tip: they make an ideal groomsmen gift) or your own use.
Effortless Wood Wallet
Wood wallets are much more lightweight than old-fashioned wallets, plus they serve as an eco-friendly alternative. They are also highly durable, and can withstand daily wear and tear.
The Effortless Wood Wallets, in particular, have a rugged and no-fuss design. The primary cardholder includes stretchable elastic webbing that can hold up to 10 cards. There is also a sturdy aluminium money clip to hold cash or items that you would like easy access to, like your commute card. In addition, the wallets include RFID-blocking technology to protect your information from electronic theft.
These slim men's wallets are available in different wood types: bamboo (which has a more uniform grain texture); redwood (for those who prefer a more rustic option); walnut (for a more classic style); and purple heart (for a statement piece). The varying textures ensure that no two pieces are alike, making your wallet completely unique. You can also personalize it by getting the wallet or money clip (or both) engraved with your initials, name, or a message of up to 50 characters.
Galaxy Wood Wallet
The Galaxy Wood Wallets have a more playful and contemporary design. Carved from light-hued maple wood, they feature hand-painted resin in a variety of colors (red, green, blue and black). With the stretchable elastic webbing, it can hold up to 10 cards, and protects them with RFID-blocking technology. There is also an aluminium money clip in the back to securely hold your cash. Engraving options are also available.
Infinity Wood Wallet
The Infinity Wood Wallets are similar in design to the Galaxy Wood Wallets, with their hand-painted resin and maple wood finish. However, the shades (blue and red) are much more vibrant, to add a pop of personality. Moreover, the features also differ; in addition to the aluminium money clip and card slot (which can hold up to 6 cards), there is a lever that enables your cards to fan out for easy access, as well as a separate coin chamber at the bottom.
Limitless Wood Wallet
This is as simple as it gets. The Limitless Wood Wallet has a more utilitarian look, and features just the bare necessities. It comes in walnut and bamboo options, and has a card holder with a lever and space for up to 6 cards; an aluminium money clip; and a coin chamber. Engraving options are also available.
Slim Bifold Wallet
If you usually carry cards but prefer leather wallets over money clips and card holders, the Slim Bifold Wallet is for you. The supple full grain genuine leather is of notably high quality, and the distressed texture gives off a vintage look. This may appeal to those who prefer a rough and weathered effect as opposed to clean and glossy leather wallets. This reddish-brown slim men’s wallet only gets better with age, and is durable and long-lasting. The single slot holds up to 10 cards, but the gusset opening allows ample room for more plastic or cash if needed. Even at full capacity, this can fit in your pocket comfortably. The stitching along the outside and inside edges is precise, and the debossed Treehut logo adds to its sophistication. You can also choose to engrave the back of the wallet.
Bifold ID Card Wallet
Treehut’s Bifold ID Card Wallet is made of premium crazy horse leather, which is the most resilient leather available. Any bumps, marks and scratches subtly bring out the variety of rich hues that are inherent in this type of leather, adding to the wallet’s vintage appearance.
With its hand-stitched edges, a single card pocket (that can hold 3-4 cards), and a clear window for ID, the Bifold ID Card Wallet features a simple and straightforward design. It is available in black and brown, and the back of the wallet can also be engraved.
Cash and Card Pouch
This is the most convenient slim men’s wallet to hold your valuables securely. There are 3 sleeves for your essential cards, along with a pocket to keep extra cards or folded cash. Made of premium crazy horse leather, the Cash and Card Pouch is devoid of any extra features to maintain its slim profile. It is available in black and brown, and the back of the wallet can also be engraved.
Three/Four Card Cases
There are two options available in this slim men's wallet: a 3-card or 4-card case, each with a leather-lined cash pocket. Made of premium crazy horse leather, the card cases are lightweight but have a tough and abrasion-resistant exterior. The stitching on the edges is tight and uniform, and you can have all your essentials in a slim, efficient profile. Both are available in black and brown, and the backs can also be engraved.
Trifold Leather Compact Key Wallet
Made of premium crazy horse leather, the Trifold Leather Compact Key Wallet features a highly efficient design to carry everything you need and nothing you don’t. There is a traditional bill compartment to hold cash; a small pocket for a couple of cards; and 6 brass key hooks with a snap closure for security. Because of its firm leather casing, it can be packed and still feel slim in your pocket. It is available in black and brown, and the back of the wallet can also be engraved.
Card and ID Sleeve
This is the slimmest option in Treehut’s collection of men’s wallets. It is made of premium cow leather, which is noted for its strength, durability, and its ability to acquire a warm patina over time (thus, adding to its aesthetic appeal). The design is simple and understated, with an ID sleeve; a pocket for storing cash; and 5 quick-access card slots. The Card and ID Sleeve is available in black and brown, and the back can also be engraved.
Vertical Card Case With Clip
If you are looking for a slim men’s wallet that can be clipped on, the Vertical Card Case With Clip fits the bill — literally. Made of premium cow leather, it has a sleek and low-profile design. It features a small storage space for cash; 5 card slots; and a leather-lined pocket clip. It is available in black and brown, and the back can also be engraved.
