The 50 Best Men’s Wallets For Everyday Carry

Of all the things you might carry with you, perhaps the most ubiquitous and immediately important is your wallet. After all, we live in a capitalist society where, metaphorically speaking, cash is king — or cards, now that so much has gone digital. So unless you’re completely off the grid and living off the land, whatever it is that hauls around your plastic or paper money is probably going to be your number one go-to piece of gear.

Despite the fact that the purpose is, for the most part, universally the same, there are a lot of different types of wallets — including bifolds, trifolds, card cases, money clips, and more. And while there isn’t a single one that works best for everyone, we’re pretty confident that we’ve narrowed down the fifty top options on our list of the best wallets for men. If you’re in dire need of a new cash and card carrier, you’ve come to the right place.

Recycled Firefighter Sergeant Wallet

Made from actual retired and repurposed firehose polyester, Recycled Firefighter makes some of the toughest, most unique wallets around. Their Sergent, in particular, is a rather capacious card carrier — capable of hauling a stack of cards and a wad of cash, thanks to a single pocket and an integrated money clip. And while it’s built to last a lifetime, it also comes with a lifetime guarantee — in case something unexpected occurs.

Gerber Barbill Wallet

Leave it to Gerber to figure out how to create one of the most minimalist cash and card carriers while still imbuing it with their signature tactical-inspired styling. The Barbill you see here is crafted with a stainless steel frame that can hold up to seven cards, thanks to the assistance of a sturdy elastic band. And the bottom-end bumper ensures that no cards slip out when it’s stashed in your pocket.

Purchase: $20

Herschel Charlie RFID Wallet

Brilliantly paring the subdued styling of their iconic packs into a different carry category, Herschel’s Charlie card carrier is a simple, stylish, minimalist wallet for those who want something that looks good but doesn’t take up too much unnecessary space. And though it’s made with a polyester cloth exterior, it still offers RFID blocking built-right-in.

Purchase: $20

Armatus Vita Kydex EDC Wallet

Armatus has built their brand around a unique ethos: ultra-tough, mil-spec materials mated to sleek, minimalist styling. And while it sounds like it might be a bit oxymoronic, they pull it off brilliantly. Their Vita wallet is a perfect example, with its weatherproof Kydex exterior, snap button closure, and slim front pocket design. Plus it comes in a number of colorways and finishes, so you can customize it to your liking.

Purchase: $23+

Hell-Bent 2.5 Wallet

Carbon fiber is a wonderful and desirable material — both for its superb physical properties (like being ultra-tough without being metallic) and its iconic appearance. And the patented Hell-Bent 2.5 Wallet capitalizes it on it brilliantly. It’s minimalist and slim enough to slip into your front pocket, tough enough to weather any adventure, and has a handy cutout that makes accessing your cards a snap.

Purchase: $25+

Flowfold Vanguard Limited Bifold Wallet

The material used in racing sails is absurdly durable, exceedingly lightweight (so light, in fact, that it floats on water), and completely waterproof. And it’s this material, X-Pac, from which Flowfold has made their Vanguard wallet. Much slimmer than other traditional bifolds, yet still with enough space for a whopping 14 cards (or more), this might just be the ultimate folding wallet for minimalists who count every ounce of their everyday carry.

Purchase: $25

American Bench Craft The Caliber Clip Wallet

There’s no rule that dictates that a wallet made from traditional materials has to be bulky and cumbersome — which is why American Bench Craft built their Caliber Clip Wallet. Super slim, yet still made from premium leather and titanium, this cash and card carrier is perfect for EDC enthusiasts who appreciate timeless styling in a modern package. And it certainly helps that this one is guaranteed for life.

Purchase: $29

Spine Minimalist Wallet

Possibly the ultimate minimalist wallet, the Spine is genius in its simplicity. You see, it’s constructed solely of two parts: a metallic plate (which offers RFID blocking technology) and a rugged elastic band (to hold all your cards and cash). In spite of its simplicity, it can still carry up to 10 cards, has an integrated bottle opener, and even comes in a number of different materials and finishes — including titanium and copper.

Purchase: $30

Trayvax Armored Summit Wallet

Combining the minimalism of a front pocket wallet with ultra-tough materials — the kinds you might find in the most durable of outdoor gear — the Trayvax Armored Summit is practically indestructible. It’s made from melonite-finished steel, has a nylon cash strap, comes with an integrated bottle opener, and still offers RFID-blocking technology. Better still, it was made by hand in the USA and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Purchase: $30

Trove Wallet

Proving that simplicity, beauty, and versatility can all exist in the same package, the British-handmade Trove wallet is constructed from Italian premium leather and durable elastic. It was made to handle up to 10 cards, has a unique triple-pocket design, and is even reversible — so you can change its appearance depending on your style preference on a given day. If handsome simplicity is paramount in your everyday carry, this might be the wallet for you.

Purchase: $35

WP Standard The Picker’s Wallet

For many guitarists, a pick is an essential piece of everyday carry. But finding a way to carry one can be difficult, as they’re easily lost and/or misplaces. But WP Standard has solved that issue magnificently with their Picker’s Wallet. Crafted from beautiful, high-quality leather, this card holder wallet is as handsome and handy as it is simple. But the integrated pick pocket is what really sets this one over the top.

Made to be the slimmest, strongest wallet on the market, the Machine Era Slim Wallet is made in the USA from your choice of stainless steel or titanium (for an added charge) and can hold up to seven cards plus some cash.

It’s not complicated, but we’re confident that’s a very good thing in this case.

Purchase: $38+

Ezra Arthur Cash Fold

It’s probably a bit of a stretch to call Ezra Arthur’s Cash Fold a wallet in the strictest sense, but it’s still a superb and simplistic piece of carry — especially for those who frequently haul around cash. Made from absolutely beautiful premium Horween leather, this simple everyday carry accessory can hold and keep in order up to 30 bills. It’s also free of extraneous linings and glue and was made here in the USA.

Purchase: $40

Crazy Horse Craft Minimalist Leather Wallet

Combining traditional materials and craftsmanship with modern sensibilities, the Crazy Horse Craft Minimalist Leather Wallet looks and is built like an heirloom piece, but is still small and slim enough to fit in your front pocket. It swaps stitching for durable metal snap button closures, has both credit card slots and a larger pouch for cash and coins, and it will age beautifully the more you use and carry it.

Purchase: $43

TGT Deluxe Wallet

A masterful blend of traditional materials and modern sensibilities, the TGT Deluxe Wallet is a brilliant hybrid of style and sleekness. Thanks to a construction of premium Italian lambskin leather, it looks as handsome as an heirloom piece, but its inclusion of robust elastic and a pared-down design make it perfect for front-pocket carry. Mate that to a wide variety of colorways and styles and this is a tremendous slim EDC carrier loaded with good looks and substance.

Purchase: $48

Hitch And Timber Flat Jacket Wallet

You won’t find too many craftsmen out there that put as much effort and care into their gear as the folks at Hitch and Timber. All of their offerings are made carefully in the USA from locally-sourced materials — including the Flat Jacket Wallet you see before you.

Purchase: $48

Best Made The SWS Passport Case

For frequent travelers, especially those who find themselves jet-setting to international locales, a regular-sized and -features wallet just isn’t going to do the trick. But that’s where Best Made’s SWS Passport Case comes into play. Large enough to fit your passport, cards, cash, and miscellaneous documents, this wallet will suit all your airport-hopping needs. And since it’s made from ballistic Cordura nylon, it’s also weather-resistant, tough-as-nails, and unique in its appearance.

Purchase: $48

Madera Poquito Slim Wood Wallet

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make your everyday carry loadout a good deal more unique, incorporating a wood wallet — like Madera’s Poquito — could do just the trick. Made from genuine hardwood — meaning it’s not a laminate or press-board — these handsome wallets can hold up to eight cards and cash courtesy of their rubber cash strap (and it comes with a backup for when your first wears out). They also have a small hidden compartment inside that’s large enough for a key or a few coins.

Purchase: $55

Rogue Industries Front Pocket Wallet

Most bifold wallets work well for stuffing in your back pocket, but putting a wallet in your back pocket is bad for your spine, leaves an unsightly bulge, and is just asking for pickpockets. This one from Rogue Industries, however, was specifically designed to fit into your front pocket comfortably and without looking awkward. It’s also made from your choice of genuine bison or moose leather and can hold up to 12 cards and cash. Plus it offers RFID blocking and was made in the USA.

Purchase: $55

HUMN Mini Wallet

One of the most iconic and pared-down minimalist wallets, the HUMN Mini Wallet is actually comprised of just two aircraft-grade aluminum plates and an elastic band to hold them (and your cards) in check. Those plates also ensure RFID blocking and they come with a handy cutout, so you can push your cards out for quick and easy access. And yes, because the band is elastic it can also hold onto your cash, as well. Pair that with a wide variety of available colors and the option to add an expansion for more carry capacity and it’s easy to see why this is one of the best wallets for men.

Purchase: $59

Fantom F10 Wallet

The problem with many minimalist wallets is that they just don’t make it easy to get ahold of your most frequently used cards — or they make it impossible to find and pull out the one card you need. The Fantom F10 does away with that by adding in a clever lever-deployment mechanism that actually fans out your cards so you can grab the right one the first time. Plus, you can add on a titanium money clip for an added charge. All that and it’s still slim and tough enough to survive in your front pocket without taking up too much space.

Purchase: $59+

Tanner Goods Journeyman Wallet

A handsome blend of traditional craftsmanship, premium materials, and modern expectations, the Tanner Good Journeyman card holder wallet is as beautiful as your grandfather’s old handmade bifold, but in a much more manageable package. It’s built from English bridle leather, has numerous card slots — plus a center stash for cash — and it was made in the USA. Best of all, for an upcharge, you can get it monogrammed for a bit of custom uniqueness.

Purchase: $65

Ezra Arthur No. 2 Wallet

Another traditionally-styled wallet in a modern, minimalist package, the Ezra Arthur No. 2 has one big added benefit: it’s vertically-oriented. For those who carry cards, that means it’s easier to access your cards without having to take the wallet out of your pocket — which is a drawback of horizontally-oriented card holders. It’s also free of liners and glue, made from premium Horween leather, and was crafted in the United States of America.

Purchase: $65

The Ridge Wallet

When The Ridge first unveiled their game-changing wallet, it set the new standard for minimalist cash and card carriers. As it turns out, a few minor improvements and some new options have kept it firmly at the top of the pile to this day. Now, these wallets come in a number of different materials — ranging from aluminum to carbon fiber and even titanium — a bunch of different colorways, and more. But they’re all stupendous, RFID-blocking, 12-card-capacity carriers that are a tremendous addition to any EDC loadout. This might be the closest to perfect a minimalist wallet has ever gotten.

Purchase: $72+

Nomad Battery Bi-Fold Wallet

Leave it to the folks at Nomad to figure out how to make a traditional accessory, like a leather bifold wallet, with some handy high-tech hidden features.

It’s also made from gorgeous Horween leather and can hold all your other cash and cards you might need on a given day.

Purchase: $74

Mr. Lentz Minimal Leather Wallet

One of the downsides of a thread-stiched wallet is that, over time, the threads wear down and eventually break. But Mr. Lentz’s Minimal Leather Wallet doesn’t have that issue since it’s riveted instead. That means it’s both more minimalist than traditional bifolds and will likely last for longer. It also comes with its own conditioner, so you can keep the leather looking spiffy, and it was made in the USA. And if that’s not enough, it also has a 100-year warranty against defects.

Purchase: $74

Capsule Minimalist Wallet

Handmade from Italian Nappa leather, this super slim card holder wallet doesn’t sacrifice any style or substance.

Purchase: $75

Pioneer Carry Division 3PN Billfold Wallet

Built from high-density 3PN DWR nylon, this is one of the toughest synthetic bifold wallets available on the market. And it’s made even better by the inclusion of the brand’s FutureForm technology — which will allow it to break in and shape to your needs the longer you use it. It’s also waterproof, can hold up to 12+ cards and cash, and has eight different organizational slots.

Purchase: $79+

Nomad Slim Tile Tracking Wallet

Another brilliant bifold option from the folks at Nomad, this handsome premium leather cash and card carrier was designed to house one of Tile’s tracking devices inside it at all times.

Purchase: $80

American Bench Craft Hammer Riveted Billfold Wallet

Further proof that you don’t need space-age materials to create a minimalist wallet, American Bench Craft’s Hammer Riveted Billfold uses traditional materials and techniques but doubles down on slimming down.

And it was made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Purchase: $84

Bellroy All-Conditions Wallet

While everything Bellroy makes is superb, outdoorsmen will likely find themselves drawn to their All-Conditions collection.

Purchase: $88

Billykirk No. 359 Triple Slot Card Case

With many front pocket cardholders, the tightness of the card pockets can be a hurdle to overcome requiring more patience and time that some folks have. Billykirk figured out a handy and secure workaround, however, with their leather No. 359 Triple Slot Card Case. This wallet has roomier pockets that are kept safe thanks to a sturdy metal snap closure — but they still had the cleverness to add on a quick-access pocket for your most-used card(s) on the back.

Purchase: $89

Dango T01 Tactical Multi-Tool Wallet

A bit on the aggressive side of the spectrum when compared to the rest of this list, Dango’s T01 Tactical Multi-Tool Wallet is a cardholder unlike any other. For starters, it has a leather and aluminum exterior, can carry 12 cards, has a silicone cash strap, and even offers RFID-blocking tech. But it also houses a removable multi-tool that boasts a construction of solid steel and has 14+ built-in functions. The wallet even has an integrated bottle opener, if that’s not enough to convince you of its merit.

Purchase: $89+

Father’s Father Wallet

Made in small batches from single hides, the Father’s Father Wallet is a unique and limited classic bi-fold wallet that’s got as much beauty as any other on this list.

Take care of this wallet and you just might pass it down to one of your children.

One of the few brands we might call masterful in regards to their ability to combine modern styling with traditional materials, Grovemade offers one of the most beautiful front pocket cash and card carriers we’ve ever seen in their Minimalist Wallet.

Purchase: $110

Discommon Thermoformed Card Wallet 2.0

You might not know it at a glance, especially when taking into consideration just how slim it is, but this wallet is actually made from leather. That’s because it was actually created by using an innovative, proprietary lamination technique that also means this card-holding bifold has no stitching of which to speak. And it can still hold up to 8 cards at a time, which makes it all the more impressive.

Purchase: $110

Hard Graft Capable Card Case Classic Wallet

Hard Graft has made a habit of being very straightforward with the way that they name their products.

Not only is this card case capable, but it’s also absolutely beautifully made from premium leather, it’s capacious with room for a large number of cards and documents, and it’s even got a super-soft felt lining, which adds just a touch of unique character. And while it’s not make-or-break, the photo window is a nice touch.

This Is Ground The Delevan Wallet

A unique and more-secure spin on the classic bifold, This Is Ground’s Delevan wallet has four slots for cards, cash, and small items and boasts a beautiful leather exterior.

That’s exactly what they’ve done with this bifold wallet. Traditional in its format, this premium leather accessory is much slimmer than your grandad’s wallet but will still last just as long — meaning you could pass it down for generations. It also has four card slots, two miscellaneous slots, and a large cash pocket — lending it a bit of versatility on top of everything else. If it wasn’t already clear that Shinola was trustworthy and deserving of their reputation, this is further proof.

Arc’teryx Veilance Casing Card Wallet

One of the many premium offerings from Arc’teryx’s Veilance line, this wallet has some pretty impressive things going for it you won’t find elsewhere on this list.

It can also hold up to eight cards, has rounded edges that are kinder to your pockets, and is available in blue or black colorways. Yes, it’s an expensive wallet, but the proprietary construction and top-notch styling speak for themselves

Purchase: $175

Filson Weatherproof Leather Trucker Wallet

If you’re a biker or spend a lot of time aboard a motorcycle, you’re probably aware that carrying a traditional wallet is uncomfortable and risky — mostly because it could fall out of your pocket at any moment on the bumpy road.

This carrier is also made from water-resistant leather in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.
