Bellroy Slim Sleeve, slim leather wallet (Max. 12 cards and bills)

I read the reviews before I bought, including those that warned of weak construction. I have experienced no such problems; in fact, Ive never had a wallet that feels as sturdy. And the benefits are as advertised: its half as thick as my prior traditional billfold, nearly an inch less tall and nearly half an inch less wide. Very, very compact and less of an object to get in the way when you sit down. Folding the bills took a little getting used to, as well as sliding the right credit card in and out, but Ill take the trade-off. Having such a small wallet is worth taking an extra second to get a card or move cash.

Love this. I used a super minimalist wallet for two or three years that was in tatters. I decided to try the bellroy and am extremely satisfied. The profile is still quite thin and fits comfortably in a shirt front pocket, but it has a bit more heft than the other super minimalist slim wallets out there, so it is far more aesthetically pleasing and has a more traditional leather wallet look. Ultimately I see this as a no-compromises middle ground: thin wallet, beautiful leather profile. Cant recommend it enough. Word to the wise– the leather takes a few days to be broken in. At first itll be a tight squeeze for your cards and cash, but as the days go by the leather loosens up just enough to cards slide out easily.

Nice quality, small & compact, stylish. Went from an Ainste Small Evan wallet, which was very small (cards stacked, leather flap, rubber band, cash stuffed on outside), but I like this Bellroy Slim Sleeve a bit better. Its not much bigger (I want small/minimalist!), but it protects my cards & cash better than the Ainste. With the Ainste, my cards & IDs got messed up quickly from rubbing against each other, and the cash on the outside literally got holes worn into it (if kept in my pocket for a few days). This Bellroy fits / protects all items inside, yet stays quite small. I have mil ID (CAC) and drivers license in one pocket, credit card in the other, 5 cards tucked inside with the tab, and cash (folded in half) inside without the tab. Its a very compact & minimalist shell. I chose the cocoa with orange stitching, and it has a casual but classy look. I liked the Ainste and used it over the past few years, but am happy to have found this Bellroy Slim Sleeve!

So far so good! I saw a few reviews saying that the stitching comes out, but we have not experienced that yet. I will update the review if so. First things first, it arrived right on time and came in very nice packaging. The wallet came inside of a cardboard sleeve with stitching. In order to open the sleeve, you had to pull the tab. Great marketing considering the wallet advertises the pull tab. It feels very high quality and fits all of my cards very nicely. A family friend showed me this wallet, and he had 15 cards in it. I havent been able to do that quite yet, so there may be a method in getting the 15 cards in there. Currently, I have 10 cards in the wallet and it is still very slim. The pull tab takes some "breaking in" if you will. You will have difficulty using the pull tab if you are holding the wallet with your thumb or fingers on the interior card slot. Instead, if you hold the wallet by the outer edges, it works perfectly. We are very pleased with the purchase. Just wish they had more color selection. There was a beautiful burnt orange color advertised on their website.

This wallet is one of the best investments Ive ever made. I was tired of my old wallet being so bulky especially when wearing a fitted suit or jeans. I have tried reducing the number of cards I carry but this only slightly reduced the overall size. I considered a money clip but realized that I have several IDs and cards that I use on a weekly basis. In my searches, I stumbled upon Bellroy and although the cost was pretty high, I decide to give their products a shot. I was pleasantly surprised at how much the wallets design made a difference and now carry this wallet. The Bellroy Slim Sleeve wallet has an attractive, high quality leather build and can support several cards and cash. If you are considering reducing the size of your bulky wallet, this is the wallet I recommend. I have been so impressed that I am considering getting my father a Belroy Note Sleeve or Hide & Seek since he carries more cash than I typically do and prefers a more traditional wallet aesthetic.
