Review on 💼 “Big Skinny Compact Sports Bi-Fold: The Ultimate Wallet Solution for Men’s Accessories” by Brian Forbis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was skeptical about tall thin ones. No longer!

I've seen the Big Skinny purse advertised a few times in the past and was definitely interested and loved it wondered if it was that good, how did they make it sound like. After all, it seems like it never happens in commercials, does it? One of the few things I asked my family for for Christmas last year was a slim wallet. To be honest I had no idea if any company was offering anything similar at the time or if many have since done so. Anyway, I didn't get a skinny wallet for Christmas and knew I had to buy a new one. Most of my credit cards in my wallet snapped about 1/2 inch below the top. I even had to replace some of the damaged cards. So I researched the internet and found the best overall price at Revain. I ordered the Big Skinny Men's Bi-Fold Slim Wallet, which is a compact, sporty, foldable slim wallet that offers plenty of space up to 20 cards and was looking forward to a less bulky wallet that wouldn't hurt my stack of credit cards. When I received the wallet I was surprised by its size, smaller than I thought it would be. In order to store everything I needed properly and conveniently, I found that there were only 2 compartments, one of which was an ID card pocket with a transparent window (plus 2 hidden compartments) that could hold credit cards, insurance cards, my driver's license, etc I was immediately disappointed, thinking that there was no way it could work well and, more importantly, not be very bulky. It might look a bit smaller than a regular wallet, but I don't think there's any real way to make it less bulky than a regular wallet and make up the difference. I even went and showed it to my son and expressed my displeasure to him at what happened to that new wallet. I would be really stupid if I didn't at least put everything in my old wallet in the Big Skinny and try it out a bit to see how it works and feels. Worst case scenario, I can always bring it back to Revane. Well, to my surprise, I was able to fit everything from my old wallet into Big Skinny. Then I used Big Skinny for a few days and the rest is history! The Big Skinny is not bulky at all. It's definitely smaller than the average wallet and way more comfortable than any wallet I've ever owned. The material feels a bit stretchy as it fits many credit cards etc. It's lightweight and feels very durable. It's made of nylon microfiber and is machine washable! I never knew it was even an option. To be honest, especially when I compare the Big Skinny experience to wallets I've had in the past, sometimes I have to look in my pocket to make sure my Big Skinny wallet is really with me because sometimes I can't tell ! I love the Big Skinny wallet and it's definitely the only wallet for me!
