Great value, [. . .]

January 11, 2018

I've owner one for about 8 years, thinking of getting another one. But its last forever!\ Waiting for [. . .]? Any [. . .] in the future? The Hipster really in Hip!

Pros

Great value, even better if on sale!

By John

My favorite wallet!

January 1, 2018

I have been a loyal fan of the Hipster for over 15 years! Please do not attempt to discontinue the Hipster Model!

Pros

One key feature is the the credit cards stack directly on top of one another. This prevents the potential damage of cracking in half which is caused by staggering them. The other feature is that when folded, the cards can not slip out accidentally.
Thank you

Cons

None!

Best wallet I've ever owned...

December 31, 2017

Over been using these wallets for years. I first saw them at a motorcycle rally, purchased one and the rest is history. I've had a half dozen at least already. I just ordered two more for myself for Christmas... The Best wallet ever. Thank you!!!

Best in 40 years of wallets

December 28, 2017

I bought this brown hipster wallet at the Louisville Mid-America Trucking Show almost 4 years ago... this darn thing has been put through the worst you could imagine... it's showing some wear, but still very serviceable. I'm gonna be upgrading to a new one soon, but only because I like the blue one. I'll pass my old brown one down to a family member. It has served me very well...and as a Trucker and Firefighter, I can appreciate the thinner wallet without sacrificing space. I've had "fancy" brand name wallets before and this BigSkinny has them beat...hands down.

Pros

Less stress on spine, reliable hold on contents, bending helps the spine and buttocks, ease of use.

Cons

Nope

Great wallet

December 20, 2017

I have been using the hipster wallet for about 5 years now. It has probably lasted longer than any wallet I previously have used. The only reason I bought a new hipster was taking advantage of price savings during the Christmas holiday. Only rated 4 stars but if it had the RFID technology it would be 5+. Please make it with RFID.

Merchant Response:Hi Bob! Great news! We should have the RFID Blocking Hipster available this coming Spring! Join our email list for updates! Happy Holidays! BigSkinny

Pros

No bulging in my left hip pocket and comfortable while driving.

Cons

No RFID

Four years and going strong!

December 9, 2017

I purchased my Hipster Bifold in December of 2013. I actually bought an extra figuring how long can it last as I was used to going through my leather wallets faster than I would like what with normal wear, over stuffing, cleaning out, stretching, etc. I just came across the untouched spare in a drawer and compared it to the one I have been using for four years... after brushing some lint away, no difference! Still looks good, works well, and as skinny as it can be even as I over fill it and empty if over the months.

Pros

Wears well, much thinner than any other wallet I have used

Cons

Can't think of one

Hipster: No RFID version - dull colors

November 27, 2017

It is a great wallet - I will have no other brand! But... the Hipster (I've had two) is the only design where one pocket's contents do not stack over another pocket's contents, and when closed, the credit cards absolutely cannot slip out of the wallet. I want to upgrade to a Hipster with RFID blocking material, but no. And how about some not-so-dull colors!

Merchant Response:Hi Fitz, Thank you for your feedback. We will consider other color options -what did you have in mind?

Pros

-Compartments do not stack on one another
-Cards cannot slip out when wallet is closed

Cons

-No RFID upgrade
-Dull colors which makes the wallet hard to see when hunting for it

Love Affair

October 27, 2017

My husband has had a love affair with this wallet for MANY years. A good friend introduced them to each other and they have been inseparable ever since! I am no longer jealous, as I have gotten my own Big Skinny. Big Skinny knows just what I need. It even lets me carry around extra baggage! I can't imagine living life without our Big Skinny's! We give them for presents all the time!

Pros

Super Thin, plenty of pockets and storage. Durable! It's not a "back stabber". Lets you carry around extra baggage and just a great friend to have!

My First Big Skinny

October 26, 2017

I bought this wallet because I was tired of thick wallets yet I carry a lot of crap in mine. Well, this thing really delivered. True to its description, it holds all my stuff and doesn't bulge my pocket out or hurt my hip when I sit on a hard surface. It fits my pocket perfectly and is easy to organize. I've had it now for several years and it is holding up well. It's a little worn around the edges but is holding together. I'm thinking about replacing it with a newer Big Skinny although it seems a shame because it's held up well. I want to try a leather one.

By Edwin

7 years old and still going strong

October 26, 2017

I can't believe my wallet is still in such good condition. It's also easy to run it through the washing machine. I owned a few different Big Skinny wallets before this one, but I think this is the perfect design if your back pockets are big enough. It can hold a bunch of cards while still remaining flat. Other wallets that stagger the cards just cause the cards to break eventually. The only downside that I have experienced is one pair of pants that the wallet would slide out of. I just put some black rubber non-skid tape on it, and that problem was solved.

Merchant Response:HI Edwin, Love it! Thank you!

Merchant Response:Hi Rev. Rick Oh no! Sounds like you may have gotten a dud! We're happy to send out a replacement ASAP can you send us pictures of what specific feature looks cheaply made so we can review? Thank you in advance! All the best, BigSkinny

Pros

Cons

Awesome & Durable

September 30, 2017

I bought one of these several years ago (4?) and I'm still using it, although it's just now starting to wear out a bit. I've carried it every single day and my back pocket on my jeans wore through before the wallet did! Super happy with it. So much so I bought another Big Skinny yesterday!

Pros

Durability
Thin even with a ton of cards in it

Pros

A great option for a frequent traveller.

August 29, 2017

As a long time Big Skinny user I bought this item for a recent European trip as my current wallet doesn't cope with GBP very well. I must say that I am so please with both the form and function of this unit that it will become my daily carry on my return from this trip as it is both large enough and compact enough to cope with my daily needs. The variant that I have has two (2) transparent ID slots at the bottom and three card slots to the left and an enclosed storage compartment on the right. The Big Skinny brand is exceptional and their customer service is second to none. Don't hesitate to try their range of products.

Pros

Everything

Cons

Nothing I could find so far

Freaking Fantastic

May 26, 2017

I love this wallet. When I got it I was able to put about 95% of the stuff in my fat wallet in it, the other 5% was receipts I should not be carrying anyhow. This big skinny wallet, fully loaded, is skinnier than my old wallet with nothing in it. I recommended it to friends and 1 has actually purchased it and is awaiting delivery. My old wallet would sometimes push on a nerve and cause pain. No problem with this one doing it. In fact I sometimes have to fell my pocket to make sure the wallet is in there. Will be buying more for Christmas gifts in the near future. Thanks for a great product.

Merchant Response:Thank you for the awesome review John! Have a wonderful weekend! BigSkinny

BULGE

May 5, 2017

I've had one similar for 5 years and like it....it takes the "bulge" that fills your back pocket out and makes it smaller

By Dimitri

Too big, but okay if that's what you want.

March 26, 2017

This wallet is huge. Its literally 2.5x bigger than my current wallet and I wasn't really looking for something this big. The pictures kind of make it seem smaller than it is but this thing really looks like a purse when it opens up and I can't see myself carrying this around and opening up this big bag in front of everyone lol. Its pretty much a book. I asked for an exchange before I opened it because I just knew it was too big but no one ever replied back.

Merchant Response:Hi Dimitri, Thank you for calling this to our attention. We will be administering a review of our customer engagement team soon and we will certainly forward along your findings. Someone will be reaching out to you momentarily to assist you. Thank you for your patience. The Hipster wallet is meant for people carrying upwards of 40 plastic cards. It is a quite a bit taller than the average wallet, but because it breaks the deck of cards into four different sections it allows the filled wallet to have a very slim profile. Thank you again for your feedback! And again, someone will reach out to you in the next moment to facilitate an exchange/return for you. Have a great weekend! Kind regards, Big Skinny

Cons

Too big
Don't really like the material either

January 20, 2017

Not only is it thin , the card pockets are square to the fold so that cards can't fall out ..Also the wallet is wide enough to fit rear pants pocket more securely so that it being lost or stolen is much less likely It's comfortable .

THIN AND TOUGH

I bought one of these at a motorcycle show 4 years ago and it's still going strong. Keeps cards in place and stays thin. Very comfortable in the car. The material is not wearing out. Very happy :)

A Great Value

October 20, 2016

I really like this wallet. It is much more handy than my Slimmy wallet I used to use. The only problem I have had with it is that my movie coupons stick to the rubber coating on the inside of the large bill area.

Cons

Glossy gift certificates such as movie ticket vouchers purchased at AAA stick to the rubber lining in the deep pocket and left a residue when removed.

Finally!

August 18, 2016

I purchased a black leather Hipster at AirVenture 2016 as an impulse buy. For the first time since I became a flight instructor 15 years ago, I finally have a wallet that holds all of my professional association cards, drivers license, pilot certificates (both my commercial and my flight instructor), credit cards, and my business cards WITHOUT feeling like I was carrying a brick in my front pocket. Thanks for a great product.

Time for something new

June 24, 2016

Ever since I have switched to the big skinny, I can't imagine using my old wallet. The difference is amazing! Now I have to check to see if my wallet is even in my pocket. When there used to be a big fat balled up piece of leather trying to pull down my pants, no denying that my wallet was back there. Get ready to be comfortable.

I am outside sales and travel the galaxy with a hoard of cards and docs. First ever wallet that fits all and is still skinny! I cannot bear to part with it after all these years even though I use the RFID wallet. I WANT MY HIPSTER BIFOLD RFID NOW! Cheers,

I ordered a black wallet. I wasn't given a choice of whether I wanted Cowhide or a cloth like material. So I ordered the black wallet and it turned out to be the Cloth like Material. I wanted the Cowhide, but that's OK. I can use the cloth like anyway. I love your wallets.

Best wallet ever

March 2, 2016

I was looking for a flat skinny wallet but yet capable to hold all my cards. Found this one! Love it! Went from 2" thick to less than 1/2" Amazing. I don't feel sitting with a rock in my back pocket, to where sometime I need to feel my back pocket to check if my wallet is there!! I got the Nylon one, but just ordered a new one leather. I will never buy any other wallet ever.

Pros

Double hight, lots of space, easy access to cards, easy slips in and out.

Cons

None

It's a great wallet if you like the size

December 25, 2015

This is the 5th wallet I've bought from big skinny. It's very well made and i'd recommend it but just know it's a larger wallet than a typical sized one. It's just too large for my needs so I'm sticking with their classic bifold which is what I was looking to replace.

Merchant Response:Hi Jason, Glad you're sticking with our classic Big Skinny Bi-Fold wallet. We want every customer to be thrilled with their purchase! At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at 1.888.844.6925 or email bigskinny@customerstatus.com and they will be happy to process a return for you.

The Hipster Bifold is my personal fave!

November 22, 2015

Dear Big Skinny Fans, The Hipster Bifold is simply the best wallet I have ever had. In fact, I now own four of them, because this is the wallet I plan to use for the rest of my life! It holds so many cards and so much stuff, it's ridiculous - and yet it remains very thin. I carry a lot of cards - and The Hipster Bifold holds them all! My only wish is that Big Skinny would go-ahead and create an RFID-blocking hipster - this I would buy in a heartbeat! Sincerely, Huge Big Skinny Fan

August 18, 2015

This is the best wallet I have ever owned. I tend to keep many cards and other items in my wallet and this is the ONLY one I have ever found that can keep all of my items in a well sorted wallet but still remains "skinny" in my pocket. Great value but even greater product.

Pros

No more back-pocket lump

August 5, 2015

Can't understand why no one thought of this a long time ago (I've never seen one anywhere else). There's a marvelous benefit that most people may not realize from the picture. Virtually all wallets hold credit cards in cascading pockets, creating the illusion that they are not fully stacked on top of each other. Although staggered, they are still one solid chunk, piled four cards high. If you have slots on the other side, then your pile is eight high-- quite a lump to sit on. The Hipster's four completely independent pockets hold the same eight cards, but two cards in height. Such a pleasure! Sure, it's a little wider, but still easily fits into any back pocket.

Pros

Beautifully laid out (easier to find things); handsome and well-made; comfortable in pocket.

Cons

Wish it came in more colors. I'd buy them all!

By John L.

Menlo, GA

Tight fit

July 20, 2015

Seeing that the wallet is new, the charge cards are a bit difficult to get out. This should be easier over time as the wallet gets broken in. Nice quality, straight stitching.

Pros

Thin, nice color.

Cons

None
