My secound one and loving the wear I got out it.
November 25, 2018
I could have held out for much longer because my first one was still in really good shape but I also switched to leather so it was really just time for something new :0 Defenetly a lot thinner wallet in my pocket with all the same stuff that I had in previous wallets.
Pros
  • Super Thin and Long Lasting
Cons
  • None in my book

Fits all my cards
November 5, 2018
I wanted a wallet that would be smaller than my current one but I didn't want to give up carrying all my cards. This has fit the bill nicely. I have 25 cards and some space for bills and receipts and it is about 1/2 the size of my previous wallet. Granted, the cards fit tightly and it's still got some thickness, but that's to be expected. I've had it about 1 month.

Merchant Response:Hi Mark, Thank you for your feedback! The L-Shape is one of our thicker models comparatively. If you would like a thinner wallet profile we highly recommend the Super Skinny or our Hipster model which divides your deck of cards into 4 stacks :) 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

Best wallet.... EVER!
October 28, 2018
We happened across this wallet at a festival. This is by far the best wallet my husband has ever used. It stays skinny, it’s very durable, and very inexpensive. I had to call customer service. They were very helpful and prompt. Buy this product! You will be glad you did!

Has great space for all my cards, especially like the divided area for credit cards etc. This is my second wallet from Big Skinny and would buy again when needed. Reasonably priced!

Best wallet I’ve ever owned
October 21, 2018
I had always had an overstuffed wallet, which I thought that might be contributing to my occasional sciatic pain. A friend had bought a Big Skinny wallet and loved it, so I decided to try one for myself. I was not disappointed. Not only did my sciatic pain significantly improve, this wallet is very attractive, well-designed, and convenient to use. I would definitely recommend this product.

Finally replaced my first one after 11 years!
September 11, 2018
I first found and bought my first Big Skinny wallet about 11 years ago and finally decided to replace it. Not because it had broken down, but because it finally was just tired from hanging out in my back pocket and taking on the shape of my rear end. The corners had become bent and the plastic id packets were starting to frost. I have constantly been amazed at how well this wallet has worked. How much it carried and how thin it stayed and how long it has lasted. Highly recommend it to anyone needed a well built, slim wallet that can handle plenty of money and cards.

A lot of wallets are thin when you get it. After you fill it it's as fat as ever. The big Skinny L shape stays thin. I've had it for 3 years now.
Pros
  • Stays thin after personal items are in. Wears well. Always looks good.
Cons
  • None!

I can show my T pass without taking it out of the wallet
May 25, 2018
I chose this model because I like the traditional look of leather, need to show my train pass to conductors regularly, and have a fair number of cards to carry around.
Pros
  • Slim, light, professional looking, clear panel shows my ID/transit pass without taking them out of the wallet.
Cons
  • If you have several cards to carry, you need to put more than one in some of the slots.

The perfect wallet
March 5, 2018
Big Skinny wallets are the perfect combination of functionality, looks, and minimalism. I finally decided to replace my original after many years of wear and tear. I'm often gifted other wallets for special occasions, but I always give them away! The construction of the wallet seems to be just as good as my original.

This is my second wallet in a decade and it's great.

Merchant Response:Hi Frank, Thank you for your feedback! We will look into altering the design. Kind regards, BigSkinny
Pros
  • A nice division of compartments.
  • Stays flat and thin.
  • Cards never slip out.
Cons
  • Would like a firmer separation in the money section between large and small bills.

Great wallet..
February 26, 2018
This is my 3rd Big skinny L-Shaped wallet. Unlike the last 2 times this time I ordered the Leather one and am not disappointed. As usual the wallet is well designed and spacious, plus the leather one has a nice finish as well. As usual, great price !! Keep up the great work.

My second one
January 27, 2018
I've carried one of these wallets for years and consider it to be just about ideal. My old one started getting a white residue inside it for some reason, making it look like I had a certain habit, so I ordered a new one of the exact same model. I was a little disappointed that the clear windowed slots for id have been made smaller (just the clear parts, not the whole slots). They now prevent the entire ID from being seen, which is inconvenient. I carry my license and gun permit in these and now there is no way I can show them without removing them, which defeats the purpose of having clear windows, so I removed a star for that. You "fixed" something that wasn't broken, Big Skinny.

Merchant Response:Hi Michael, Thank you for your feedback! We will assess the design & see if we can switch back. Would one of our photo inserts fit your gun license?

So far, it works well.
January 21, 2018
I purchased this wallet for my husband. He carries many cards and this was the perfect "fit" for all his stuff. Everything fits well. There are still some card slots open and the best part, in my opinion, is the double ID window. It is less bulky than his other wallet. Very pleased with this purchase. Hopefully it holds up.

Excellent wallet with extra slots!
January 15, 2018
I have always been a big fan of Big Skinny - the only choice for my wallet these days! I thought I would try an L-Shape with some extra slots this time and it surely didn't disappoint. The craftsmanship is excellent as always and the extra slots did not add much to the bulk of the wallet. Highly recommended for those of us who do not want to leave any of our cards behind at home :-).

January 2, 2018
My nephews in California were raving about how much they love their wallets from Big Skinny. I wasn't convinced that it would stay skinny with all of my husbands wallet stuff. I got him one for Christmas, it stayed skinny and he absolutely digs it. He doesn't have to take it out of his pocket to sit down anymore. As long as the material holds up I'll be purchasing more for gifts to family members!

Excellent wallet with much room... not taking up pocket room
December 25, 2017
This wallet is what I have been searching for. It fits all of the stuff I normally carry in my wallet and somehow takes up half the space in my pocket. It is made of high quality leather and has much room for all of the stuff I normally carry in my wallet.I love this wallet and will continue to buy these for family and friends.

Perfect Wallet for Me
December 19, 2017
2nd one, first one lasted about 5 years, and going strong, just stretched out a bit over time and some of the card pockets became a bit loose. That's to be expected, for sure, based on the fact that this little wonder holds a deck of credit and ID cards, shows 2 ID windows, and tri-folds into an incredibly small package. Might never replace with a different wallet!
Pros
  • capacity, 2 id windows, dual currency compartment (handy for holding currency and receipts together.
Cons
  • None

October 21, 2017
After reading reviews, decided it was a good gamble. As with most people, we have leather wallets. My husband had a shoulder surgery recently so had to put wallet in a front jeans pocket. Very thick but when his Big Skinny arrived, I surprised him by sneaking his leather and refilling the new one. Well, it is a very nice wallet but his did not stay as “skinny†as the ads claim. The dollar bill section is actually not as deep as leather was. But heâ€Ââ"¢s happy with it. Itâ€Ââ"¢s easier to get his license or credit card than the former.

Merchant Response:Hi Dolores, Thank you for your feedback! For an even slimmer profile we recommend our Super Skinny or Hipster Bi-folds. Very thin & and can old 40 cards, cash, & receipts AND still fit in your husband's front pocket. 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 betters suits your needs. Thank you again for your review- Have a great day! -BigSkinny
Pros
  • More flexible than leather
  • Nice product. Easy to get to license/credit card
Cons
  • Dollar section not as deep as other wallets.
  • Doesnâ€Ââ"¢t stay as “skinny†as ads say but still a very nice product

My initial impression was that of the high quality of the materials; my 2nd was that of the well thought out design. After a week of use I rate this as the finest wallet I have ever owned (i'm 83). This wallet is thinner loaded than my old wallet empty. The size of the slots provides for ready acceptance of credit and ID cards. In my old wallet those were always overly tight. There are a lot of wallets available at greater and lesser cost. In my estimation this shakes out as the best value.

The wallet is what it says. Big Skinny, holds my many membership cards, charge cards and many papers/receipts. Can't buy another wallet ever to replace this product. Pricing needs to be adjusted, a bit expensive.
Pros
  • Holds many cards but stays small.
Cons
  • Price

I've been looking for 3 years for a wallet like this one. I've actually got a stack of new wallets that simply weren't as promised. This wallet, however, is exactly as described. It is thinner with everything in the wallet than my old wallet is empty.Thank you.

This is my third Bigskinny wallet, my first was an L in canvas that lasted over 6 years. My second was a canvas trifold that my son liked and ended up wanting so I got leather L. Love it. Looks professional and feels great in my pockt.
Pros
  • Looks great
  • Very thin
  • Holds a lot
  • Hold cards very secure
Cons
  • Would lie it to be like the old canvas L I had with the ID holder on the botton of the fold out flap.

more functional than more expensive wallets
June 26, 2016
This is a great affordable wallet that is very functional for carrying large amount of credit cards in a very slim and compact manner. I have always used Coach wallets because they are almost indestructible and last forever but this wallet is in some ways more functional in holding more cards etc and is more compact. I don't know if it'll hold up as well as my Coach wallets but I have used it for several years now and still looks new. I decided to order another one as a back up since I liked it so much.
Pros
  • compact, holds plenty of cards, cash, business cards, etc; great value for the money; good durability

I bought this to replace another bifold L-shape wallet that was falling apart. I'm very happy with this purchase as it can hold all of my cards and receipts, and still stays so thin.
Pros
  • Ability to hold two ID cards in clear plastic sleeves.
  • Divider allows you to split cash and receipts.
  • Leather feels high-quality.
  • Construction of wallet is solid.

Good but not great
March 9, 2016
I traded in my Castanza wallet for the Big Skinny. This wallet is good but not great. While my job does not entail getting a business card every time I meet some one, I do pick up the occasional one, somewhere. I did sort out my old wallet before stuffing everything into the big skinny and it does work, but I still have a bump in the wallet from the few business cards I do have. I digress as this may be an issue since it is a leather wallet as opposed to the all nylon wallet they offer. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to reduce their Castanza wallet. My back pocket feels thinner and my hip no longer bothers me. I really do like how the pockets inside fit all of my plastic cards and the two windows one for DL and the other for any other photo id you may have. I don't have to wrestle my gym id card out of the slot as it just slides out with little force where as my last wallet refused to give up any type of plastic card as if it were saying I didn't need to buy any gas for my car today.
Pros
  • large slots for credit cards, insurance cards, bill fold is roomy but who carries cash anymore?
Cons
  • A little bulky but tolerable depending the number of business cards you have

Nice, thin wallet but wears out over time
February 29, 2016
I purchased this wallet about 2 years ago and have been very happy with it. I carry about 10 cards with me between insurance cards, store rewards and credit cards. The ID slot for my drivers license is very tight. I dread having to take my ID out of this wallet because it takes a lot of effort, but its not a huge problem. I am in need of a new wallet now two years into it. The slots that hold the credit cards are worn out. Now when I flip it open the cards fall out. Also if I have them in the front section, they just fall out of the top when the wallet it closed. I lost a credit card in the store when I went to put the wallet into my back pocket, I didn't realize it fell out...luckily the lady behind me in line told me that it fell out. Good wallet but if you use a lot of credit cards it will stretch and have to be replaced.

Merchant Response:Hi Joe, Thank you for your feedback! Some customers have revivified the tightness of the pockets ( on our full-leather models -since you can't put them in the washing machine) by wiping a slightly damp paper towel across the pockets and blow-drying it on high-heat. Hope that helps, Big Skinny
Pros
  • Skinny, I like the design.
Cons
  • Wears out and you could lose credit cards once it is too stretched out. ID holder is very snug.
