Review on Bellroy Sleeve Leather Editions Available Men's Accessories in Wallets, Card Cases & Money Organizers by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Too high for US currency.

While I love the clever pockets, it's nowhere near as thin as it looks. Any wallet with a money clip (outside or inside) is at least as thin, if not thinner. And if you only use US currency, you will find that the wallet is too low/high. The card slots are awfully narrow, but I would expect them to "wear out". The skin seems too stretchy to stand the test of time, so we'll have to see that. On the plus side, the orange color is pleasant. *UPDATE* Card slots wear out. The color does fade in the expected scuffs, but that's okay. If this wallet were improved I would ditch the leather tab (which often just traps money at the wrong time) on the hidden pocket and use a fabric tab in addition to a fabric tab for easier retrieval, for example. Add U-shaped cutouts for the same reason. I believe that eliminating this leather patch will also save a bit on production.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Sad hardware
