Looking for a minimalist wallet for your front pocket? A slim wallet keeps your pocket flat and your essentials close: a few cards and a little cash.

Why go slim

A thick wallet in a front pocket is uncomfortable and shows through your clothes. A slim leather wallet holds 4 to 6 cards and stays flat.

Picking one

• Choose full-grain leather, which ages well
• Look for hand stitching on the edges
• Pick a color you will keep: Tan, Dark Brown or Black

Our Slim Card Wallet is $48 and ships in 2 to 4 business days.

Vegan leather is a plastic coating on a fabric backing, while real leather is animal hide. Real leather lasts longer and develops a patina, but vegan leather costs less.

The best front pocket wallet is slim, holds the cards you use every day, and does not print through your jeans. For most people that means a minimalist card wallet in full-grain leather.

What to look for

• Thickness: it should stay slim with 4 to 6 cards
• Leather: full-grain leather lasts longer than split or bonded leather
• Stitching: hand stitching with waxed thread holds up to daily use
• Cash: a bifold holds folded bills, a card wallet holds a few

Card wallet or bifold?

A card wallet is the slimmest choice and fits comfortably in a front pocket. A bifold holds more cards and folded bills, but it is thicker.

We make both: the Slim Card Wallet ($48) and the Classic Bifold Wallet ($72), in Tan, Dark Brown and Black.
