Review on πŸ§” Alpine Swiss Delaney Slimfold Collection: Stylish Men's Accessories for the Modern Gentleman by Timothy Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Roughly Cut and Stitched

The inside of the purse [see. attached pics]: The leather is poorly wrapped, striated around the edges, and awkward stitching is visible when the leather is pulled into the corners. Such flaws make a wallet's longevity questionable: if a wallet already has these flaws due to accidental manufacture, how much wear and tear can it endure before falling apart? The inside of the card slots [not shown]: Brown thread to attach lining. to stripe the leather and peek out from the left horizontal card slot, which requires it to be trimmed. In the right horizontal card slot, a blob of dried glue had to be removed with a brown thread stuck to it. In short, the finishes and stitching on both outsides of the wallet are neat but are deceiving when looking at the inside of the wallet. Additional Comments: As for the wallet being advertised as having a "smaller and thinner overall size", the wallet doesn't really live up to those attributes in any significant way. I used to have a tri-fold wallet of comparable length and width, 10.8cm x 8.6cm, that maintained a fairly thin and consistent profile when filled. The double fold wallet becomes prominent towards the "top" of the wallet where the tabs and most of the slotted cards touch, but tapers towards the "bottom". This problem is likely to be exacerbated as more cards and accounts are held. Don't be fooled by the listed MSRP of $45; This wallet is definitely worth around $15. It's easy and gets the job done, although it might not be as convenient or as long as you'd like.
