Review on Hot Leathers WLC1001 BLACK Bi Fold by Michael Persing

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy wallet, bad chain strap.

Beautiful leather. The wallet itself is well made and the strap looks thick and sturdy, but the piece of metal that attaches to the strap strap to hold the chain is mostly junk. Hot Leathers, please take my advice and put the best of a double wallet and triple wallet in each wallet. The shape of the strap and the metal connector on the triple wallet is better, but the thickness of the strap on the double fold is better. At the very least, reverse the strap that comes with this wallet and use the same chain and strap as the triple fold. The pivoting attachment goes through a hole made of thin, flat metal, and that part doesn't pivot within the strap, so it's easy to bend. The rounded spiral connector that comes with the tri-fold is much better, to the point that I ordered both and returned the tri-fold along with the chain. I hope you forgive me :3 If you order this you will also want to replace the chain itself with something better. This is not only very cheap, but also very short. It barely goes from front to back. It protects your wallet, but in terms of style, it doesn't reach nearly deep enough to look good. I used pliers to remove the chain from storage and replaced it with a nice one I bought for my old wallet.
