Review on πŸ‘ Distil Union Minimalist Leather Wallets - The Ultimate Men's Accessory for Wallets, Card Cases & Money Organizers by Anthony Cayton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

EXCELLENT card sleeves fits card and ID sleeves

I bought this wallet to replace a money clip which has a card slot and separate cash slot. The money clip has served me well for over 5 years and being steel I don't see why it shouldn't last a lifetime. So why am I replacing it? I always carry the clip in my front pocket. I've found that all of my favorite pants are starting to get pocket holes due to the steel construction of the clip. I was alarmed because I liked this money clip. It had everything I needed (3 credit cards, ID, about 3 thinner insurance cards, and 5-10 bills) in an extremely compact package that easily fit in the front pocket of my tight pants. But something had to be changed because it ruined the pockets of all my pants. Sign up for Wally Micro. I've had it for a few weeks and I love it. It holds all the cards and cash I would carry in a clip without taking up more room in my pocket. Because the Wally is leather it's a lot lighter on the fabric of my bags and lighter than my old clip. Before purchasing the Wally Micro, my only concern was the lack of a separate place to store money. I was thinking of a thin double wallet with one of those thin metal money clips like this one :)) but decided on the more minimalistic Wally Micro as I rarely use cash. So far, so good. I do not keep cash on the outside of my wallet under the elastic as shown in the photos. I hide my money behind cards and it works well for me. This allows me to slip in and out of my pocket easily, and the pull tab holds my folded money along with my cards when I need them. It's a bit more of a hassle to unroll your bills to use them and then fold them back up to put them back in the wally than using cash with the dual design mentioned above, but I almost never use cash. To me, the smaller size of the Wally Micro Out outweighs this inconvenience. Longevity is questionable as I've only had the Wally Micro for a few weeks, but it looks very well built. The elastic band is very durable and does not impede access in and out of the bag. If Wally falls apart within the next 6 months I will update it but for now it fully meets all my needs.
