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

Comment

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.

So close to perfect. I think the design of this wallet is great with two exceptions. 1. I wish it was 1-2mm wider. I fold my USD bills in half and place them in the pocket on the left. They seem to stick out just a bit further than they should. The ends are tucked right into the hinge of the wallet when closed. 2. I wish the little grab handle used on the right side was about 1-2mm longer. Usually by the time I get my fingers on it, Im actually pinching everything on this side, so the pull handle does nothing.

I got the slim sleeve wallet on the recommendation from a friend at work and it has been a revelation. I used to always get the classic trifold brown leather wallet that everyone has. Just like everyone I crammed it with cards and receipts until it ballooned up to almost an inch thick. This wallet forces an economy of preference and priority that has changed the way I think about what I carry around with me on a daily basis. Seriously, a couple cards and some nicely folded bills are all you need. Simple, classy, streamlined. Stitching: To say the stitching has held up beautifully is an understatement. There isnt a single stitch or thread that has so much as frayed a little. It arrived in perfect condition with each thread in its place and ten months later they are still perfect. Leather: So far and the leather is wearing in quite nicely. The wallet is starting to show its age but in a very pleasant way. There are no cracks or rips, and there are no stretch marks where the wallet folds when it is opened and closed. Im glad I got the Arctic Blue but if you dont like your leather wallet to look worn in you might want to select a darker color.

I bought this as a gift and ended up returning it because the style wasn’t quite right for the person I bought it for, but it is definitely everything the description says it is! It has that modern, minimalist style withought giving up the look and feel of classic leather. The pull tab for the hidden card pocket works exactly as promised- I put my own cards in to test it and while it seemed like a tight fit the tab slid them all out easily. I was almost tempted to keep it for myself but alas I needed the money to purchase another gift. I wonder if there is a women’s style? That would go on my wish list for sure!
