Second Wallet, Same Satisfaction
January 2, 2019
I originally gave this wallet to my husband as a Christmas gift in 2012. At the time, he had been using a regular wallet and was always annoyed by its thickness despite not filling it up very much, so his first Big Skinny was a complete revelation. Five and a half years passed, and his first wallet was pretty worn out from constant daily use. It was still in one piece, but it looked pretty rough, so I decided it was time for a replacement gift.
However, although I should have known better, I decided to give him a different brand of wallet for his birthday in June 2017. To my dismay, he used it reluctantly and only because his first Big Skinny wallet was so worn out; I even had to prod him to make the switch. Even when his mother gave him a fancy Coach wallet for Christmas 2017, he didn't make the switch from the Columbia one despite being unhappy with it because the Coach wallet would have been even thicker in his pocket.
Happily, within hours of receiving his second Big Skinny wallet from me on Christmas Day 2018, he had already moved everything into it and was rejoicing over how thin it remained.
Guess I'll be placing my next leather hybrid L-shape wallet order in 2024.
Thanks, Big Skinny!
Pros
