My Favorite Wallet But They Changed It :-(
January 6, 2020
I am on my third Big Skinny L-shaped (BSL) wallet. This wallet was created specifically for me! It has the right number of pockets for the minimum necessary cards I keep with me, and the right number of ID windows. When it's fully loaded is just as thin as some empty wallets in the market. In the attached photo you can see my old BSL on the left and my new one on the right. On this last one I purchased the shape of the card pockets changed. Before they had a V-cut, now they are straight cut. The straight cut added to the depth of the pockets can make accessing the cards a little more difficult. Big Skinny, PLEASE BRING BACK THE V-CUT CARD POCKETS!

Merchant Response:Dear Nelson, Thank you for your feedback! We made the pockets straight across for better security at keeping the cards in place. We will take your suggestion into consideration because many others have asked for the return of the V pocket as well. Thank you again for your review, BigSkinny
Pros
  • Perfect men's wallet design.
Cons
  • The change of the card pockets from V-cut to straight.

The best wallet!
December 29, 2019
Wallets can be a problem but the Skinny L-Shape Wallet is fantastic. I am able to carry all of my necessary cards, ID, etc. very comfortably and without totally deforming my rear pocket. I even bought another one for my son.

I wish I would have purchased this wallet 3 or 4 years ago when I first saw it at the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I highly recommend this wallet. Lots of pockets, great quality and it really does feel like a SKINNY wallet, even with lots of credit cards in it. I liked it so much I bought one for my dad for Christmas (he got it early December) and he likes it a lot, too!

This is my second Big Skinny L-shaped wallet. I love it! It’s the perfect compact size while still having lots of room fo all my “stuff”. And it’s durable!

Small but Lumpy
December 12, 2019
I would not recommend as it is not Skinny. Because of the fold over feature its lumpy & thick. My original model was truly skinny. I cannot find that original model now.

Merchant Response:Dear Harry, Thank you for your feedback! My bet is that your original wallet was either our Compact Sport Wallet or our classic Multi Pocket Bi-Fold. They only fold once that allow for a slimmer profile :) At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at service@bigskinny.com or 617.500.6939 and they'll be happy to work with you on finding a style that better suits your needs. Thank you, BigSkinny

My Fourth wallet from Big Skinny
August 31, 2019
I really like the Big Skinny wallets. I am still using the last three that I have purchased. I recently bought two different styles to hang on to just in case BS stops making those particular styles.
Pros
  • Lightweight, Thin package
Cons
  • I believe that the Big Skinny wallets are more expensive that they could (should) be.
  • Wallets from other mfgs can be purchased for half the cost of the Big Skinny wallets.

This is my 3rd Big Skinny Wallet over the last10 years. They really don't wear out they just look like it's time to retire them, so I order a new replacement. It's truly amazing how much you can put in the wallet and not have that painful knot pressing on your tuckus! If I have one fault it's that sometimes the credit card pockets are a little to deep. That makes it difficult to see which card is where and harder to remove from the pocket. I'm just saying.....that's nowhere near something that would stop me from getting my 4th Big Skinny when this one reaches retirement age. Wonderful product and great customer service too.
Cons
  • Card Pockets are sometimes too deep. The card disappears into the pocket and you can't see it and it is more difficult to remove it.

Get Skinny
July 25, 2019
This is a well made product that has quality and durability written all over it. Carrying it to work or out in the wilds it is the most comfortable and easily accessed wallet out there. Cannot beat the compartment set up that easily handles all the plastic you need to carry. ID's, photos and miscellaneous can be easily carried also. Goodbye bulky, hello Skinny.

The wallet is amazing but the customer service is even better!
June 30, 2019
The wallet is amazing. My husband is a painter and he always gets all the pockets covered with paint so this is his fourth one! It holds all his business cards, credit cards and miscellaneous receipts. I ordered him a new one and unfortunately there was a great big problem with PayPals' automatic addressing of orders, despite the fact that when I filled out the order I had my new address included and his wallet was mailed to an old address. Paypal put me off and said it was Big Skinny's problem and the USPS's problem. PayPal never made it right, said that it wasn't their problem but Big Skinny did! Even though it was not something that they created, they fixed it and sent us our new wallet. Thank you so much and you have earned our eternal gratitude and our business!

I bought my husband his second L-shaped wallet. The first one lasted more than 10 years. He loves the new one too. He says he’lll never have any other brand of wallet So much fits in it and it stays skinny.
By Todd

These are the best. I just replaced my very old (maybe 6 or 7 years old) L-Shape wallet.
May 21, 2019
...and not because it wasn't useable. It was. No tears. No rips. Seams are all still intact. Clear I.D. windows are all still clear. Now that I think about it, there really wasn't a reason to replace it. I think I was just worried the same style wouldn't be available whenever it finally gave out. I haven't started using the new one yet. But I have it. Thanks for making a really great product at a great price.
Pros
  • Super thin but tough fabric.
  • Sewn seams stay sewn.
  • Clear I.D. windows are super tough and stay clear.
  • 11 spots for cards, cash, etc.
  • Dries quickly if it gets wet.
  • Color doesn't bleed or fade.
  • Holds everything I need on a daily basis.
  • Doesn't wear out the pockets of my pants.
Cons
  • ?

Amazing Wallet
April 30, 2019
I recently had my wallet stolen. I quickly reordered this wallet which happened to be the same exact wallet from before. I absolutely love this wallet! It has plenty of places for cards, a clear window for ID but also holds pictures really well. This wallet is so well made. I had my other one for years and it was in great condition and could of lasted me a whole lot longer! There was no question what kind of wallet I would purchase. Love Big Skinny and love this wallet!

Big Skinny Wallets hold the most.
January 7, 2019
I have used these wallets for close to ten years. The one I was using before this one was a more minimalist style and it still held a lot. I finely upgrade to one that holds about ten more cards and it still doesn't look like George Castanza's wallet from Seinfeld. Thank You Big Skinny.
Pros
  • You can hold so much more than a regular wallet that you will want to and will.
Cons
  • The only con is trying to over fill the wallet, but if you stack all the cards you can fit in the wallet on top of each other you will realize that is still really, really hard to do.

Good Product
January 7, 2019
Wallet was as advertised. I don't care for the big logo on the outside of the wallet.

Merchant Response:Hi William, Thank you for your feedback! Funnily enough, we removed the logo one year and many customers clamored to have it put back! The rubber logo also serves the purpose of gripping in your pants' pocket to prevent the wallet from sliding out. :) Wishing you a fantastic day, BigSkinny
Pros
  • Thin
  • Good quality
Cons
  • Logo

Nicely done design
December 30, 2018
Recommend. Suggest the design team work on more ergonomic grip. Its slippery side can make it hard to pull the wallet out of the back pocket. Very good design in countering bulge by way of extra material for main fold.

This a great wallet especially if you have to quickly show different ID's such as on public transit, airport and going into secure buildings. Really beats digging through your wallet and pulling out a card. The clear windows are quick and painless. Thank you Big Skinny
Pros
  • Quick view of ID
Cons
  • None

Hard to get out of pocket
December 15, 2018
I love the wallet and the L shape design. The only problem I find. Because of the material it if made of It is difficult to grasp (slippery) when trying to remove the wallet from my back pocket.

Merchant Response:Dear Ed, Thank you for your feedback :) If you are open to it, we recommend trying out our leather version of the L-Shape wallet. At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at service@bigskinny.com or 617.500.6939 and they'll be happy to work with you on finding a style that better suits your needs. Thank you again for your review! Have a great day! BigSkinny

Easy on the butt
October 29, 2018
I really like this wallet. This is my 2nd one I’ve bought from you. The first one was the leather clad one. I plum wore that thing out. I had that one for more than 3 years. Very happy with the performance of that one. I’m very rough on things. This new one is the non leather one and I’m expecting this to outlast the previous one. I’m satisfied with my purchases of the Big Skinny wallet.
Pros
  • It?s such a little thing. Does the job well.
Cons
  • I have problems with the bill devider. That piece of nylon that devides the money from anything else you put in there. It folds up and you have to fight it to keep it from folding.

Big Skinny wallet
October 21, 2018
Replacing the exact same wallet that I have had for at least 8 years. It finally was starting to wear out in places. The Big Skinny is the only one I want to carry in my pocket. Can’t say enough good things about it!! Outlasted any other kind by far.

Best Wallet Ever
September 7, 2018
Love this wallet had one, was so comfortable didn't realize I lost it. Not a deterrence from getting another. Now put it in my front pocket fits perfectly. Not sure I why I didn't put the other in the front pocket, I guess old habits are hard to break. Keep up the great product for a Great price.
Pros
  • Thin, many pockets, water proof, comfortable in front pockets.

August 1, 2018
This is my second wallet from big Skinny. I bought my first one in 2012 with[...]. It was getting a little worn and I was planning on replacing it soon. Two weeks ago I dropped it off of my motorcycle on the highway. I looped back and found it in the breakdown lane. It had been run over a few times but still in very good shape. Some of the contents had blown away but I found most of contents. I know it wasn't designed to be run over by trucks but it held up pretty well after 6 years and a few big rigs!

My old wallet had started to fall apart after 13 years and starting to resemble George's bloated wallet from Senfield . This wallet has two photo ID slots and lots of room for credit cards and takes up a smaller profile then my old one. I really like it and hope it will last as long or longer then my old one. Also the price is great.

I was initially dubios about the wallets abilities after years of owning fat , bloated wallets, especially when it comes to card storage...This wallet is sensational on every count..Feels good , looks good and its skinny...even with a belly full of plastic...stoked Aussie..
Pros
  • Feel good
  • Looks good
  • Does exactly as the manufacturer claims
Cons
  • A velcro tab to keep the wallet closed would be nice.

Great Product
April 7, 2018
My husband bought one of these years ago (so long ago I can't remember where) and it was finally starting to wear a bit. It didn't bother him, but I suggested he get another. He agreed as long as I got him the same one. He loves it. It's skinny for sure, but still holds everything he needs. It's a nice material and doesn't sweat. Great quality product.

Better than Trifold
November 16, 2017
I bought this for my stepfather because he was complaining that it was too hard to get to his paper money and the wallet was too thick when he had all his cards in his trifold wallet, I thought this would work better for him and he's delighted with it. I would certainly recommend it for someone who has a lot of credit and membership cards.

Another Big Skinny winner!
May 26, 2017
This is my second Big Skinny wallet and my first L- Shape wallet. I ordered the fabric over the leather and I am not disappointed. I wear jeans most of the time. This wallet fits nicely in the left front pocket. The logo on the wallet does not snag when removing it as some reviewers have mentioned. I have yet to carry the wallet in a pair of dressier slacks with smaller pockets. The number of slots in this wallet allows me to better organize similar cards in one slot such as medical cards, credit and bank cards and the like. I would buy this wallet again.
Pros
  • Coated slots prevent cards from falling out of the wallet. Lots of card slots. Fabric feels nice to the touch.
Cons
  • Sometimes difficult to remove cards from slots. Paper money section seems to be almost too small to easily insert bills without crumbling them.

Simply awesome
May 12, 2017
When I read about your wallets and them being so thin, I thought, what can be improved on a wallet to make it thinner than the regular wallet I own? I ordered the wallet because, to be honest, it's kinda cheap so what do I have to lose? I live in Amsterdam and I received my wallet within 10 days. I really am amazed about how thin this wallet is. In my previous wallet, I left out the cards that I didn't use frequently. I put those cards and all of my other cards in the new wallet and it's thinner than my old wallet that didn't have anything in it. Thanks for this great product.
Pros
  • Really thin
  • Cards don't fall out
  • Really really thin
  • Quick delivery even outside of America
  • Really really really thin
Cons
  • Haven't had any complaints.

A very good wallet
May 20, 2016
Has as many pockets as you could possibly need and they are well distributed. It actually does make the wallet seem thinner even with the same contents. Fabric is very solid and holds up well.
