Perfect wallet for 'front' pocket.
December 16, 2023
This is my 3rd Big Skinny wallet. After many years of use, the nylon zipper wore out. Nothing lasts forever, no problem with buying the new one. Definitely the best wallet I have owned.
Pros
  • Very 'slim' and functional with perfect amount of slots.
  • Fits my front jean pocket... safe & secure.
  • Bought the first Big Skinny in 2003, so that is 2 in 20 years with this purchase now the 3rd.
Cons
  • Well, the nylon zipper wore out after 10 plus years of constant use, but all other materials lasted fine.
  • A metal zipper would likely last longer but would have worn the inside of the pocket.
  • No issue.

My husband loves his wallet. This is his second one. The first one lasted for 3 years until finally the zipper broke off. Can you repair these wallets? The leather is still in great shape. Just needs a new zipper.

Merchant Response:Hi Linda, Thank you for your review! We have new zippers now :)

The zipper broke on my old nylon Big Skinny wallet and this leather version replaced that. If anything I like this leather version of your big skinny wallet better than the original nylon version. It feels more substantial and looks much better.

Best wallet I have had

This is my second Big Skinny wallet. After years of use, the zipper broke on the first one. I just had to find another. Everything I need fits in the wallet and I have to check occasionally to be sure it is in my pocket because it fits so comfortably.

I love Big Skinny wallets. They really are thinner than other wallets and are made with quality leather. I like the zippered model for better security for my cards.

Leather Zipfold Wallet
July 6, 2021
All I'll say is that this zipfold wallet has turned me into my fathers favorite. It holds everything he wants to carry and not look like he's packing heat in the back pocket. It's easy for him to get out without straining his shoulder and the leather is soft. Most importantly, it zips! Dad couldn't be happier. He's so pleased that we ordered another one just in case, no other reason. Thank you Big Skinny.
Pros
  • Holds 15 to 20 cards, a place for cash, a couple of hidden pockets, 1"-1 1/2" thick, nice leather and it zips all the way around.
Cons
  • NONE

This is my second skinny wallet. I just checked to see when I ordered my first, and it was December 2011. So definitely very durable. I decided to buy one with a zipper this time, and it feels like just as good quality as my recently-retired one. Hopefully this one lasts another 9 years!

Just what I was looking for

After "trying on" several zipper wallets in many price points I landed on this one. I watched wallet reviews on You Tube. I tried the ridiculous Edge (pseudonym) super uncomfortable and expensive. This guy is SUPER thin, holds all 8 of my cards (not all credit) and cash ($1, jk). Loaded, the wallet lays flat and is comfortable to sit on even in shorts! I work construction, so the zipper feature helps keep things clean inside. Well done Big Skinny!
Pros
  • 1) Thin
  • 2) Easy to get cards in and out
  • 3) Keeps stuff clean
  • 4) Did I mention clean
Cons
  • need more color choices

I tell everyone about this wallet. Fita perfect in my front pocket. I no longer lose cards.

Pros
  • Zips shut. Don't lose cards or receipts.
  • Plenty of room to hold business cards until get home then purge to get flat wallet again.
  • Holds everything securely.
  • Enjoy the receipt divider.
  • iD window very handy.
Cons
  • Zipper
  • Rfid.
  • I bought this ~ 1 year ago and now sad to say the zipper separated/failed. I open and close multiple times a day.
  • Now I have standard bi-fold wallet which is not working for me.
  • Rfid ripped.

The perfect-sized wallet, great craftsmanship!!!
February 4, 2020
About two years ago I found the Big Skinny leather key case in an old office drawer. The leather was thick and shiny, it had a place for cards and a perimeter zipper. I modified it by removing the key hooks and snap fob, and used that as my wallet for a while. I eventually accumulated more cards, at which point I decided that an actual wallet was needed, even though it was still in perfect condition. I recently purchased The Big Skinny Leather Zipfold Wallet, and I am super impressed--it is currently holding 22 cards, and several bills while still being only about 5/8" thick. It is hilarious to see these old timers with their 2" wallets. I have looked at several other companies such as Bellroy, hardgraft, Ridge, and Shinola but the Zipfold blows them all away for price, craftmanship, durability, and features. I will never buy anything else again!
Pros
  • Good quality leather
  • Perimeter zipper
  • Plenty of card slots
Cons
  • Noticed one of my cards got a bit sticky from the coating on the internal sleeves. As with any wallet you should check your cards periodically, especially if the wallet picked up significant moisture such as rain exposure, etc.

Great wallet

This is my second big skinny. The first was still in pretty good shape after years of use. I just thought I would like a new one. I like a skinny wallet because it prevents me from filling it with too much worthless clutter. As long as this wallet is around I will buy it.
Pros
  • Very well made. Good price.
Cons
  • None

I have been looking for a thin zipper shut wallet. I have already used Big Skinny wallets in the past, so it was one of goto places. What I like is that it is leather and zips shut and is spacious inside and still feels thin in my pocket. I am using my previous Big Skinny wallet as a coin purse which is also working out perfectly. Thanks for a great product.
Pros
  • All good
Cons
  • No negatives.

Love this wallet
March 4, 2017
I also love, love, love this wallet, but do wish it had a place for coins on the outside!

Merchant Response:Hi Michele, Thank you for your feedback! We will look into creating a new version! Having a zippered-pocket on the outside of the Zipfold would take it to the next level -& be super useful! Have a great day! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Small/compact
  • Love the zipper
Cons
  • No coin spot on the outside, so coinage ends up at the bottom of my purse.

Zip fold Wallet
May 20, 2016
Good for the most part.
Cons
  • This model of the zipper wallet the leather is much stiffer than the previous one that I owned in brown that last for 4 years and was much softer which allowed the cards more room to breathe, and taking them in an out was easier. Other than that, I still like this wallet. I need to get another one.

I bought this wallet with the intent of keeping my cards and all sand free. I work in a dirty environment and my cards always have to replace my cards cause they would get scratched. Grow wallet did that but the zipper breaks to easy. I bought it and had to return the first one he same day that I bought it and replace it. The second one didn't even get me a year. So hoping on Getting a replacement for this one. But all in all the size is nice for front pocket but needs a sturdy zipper.

Merchant Response:Hi Nathan- Thank you for your feedback! A member from our customer service team will be reaching out to you in a moment. Thank you! Big Skinny
Pros
  • Good design

Well worth the price, but wish it had a small spot foyer change outside! Also leather brown seems to get lost in my purse! A color would have been better....

I'm interested in the leather zip fold wallet (black only), but i'd like to know the folded size first, and as far as I can tell, that information isn't available....also the zippered bifold, as well.

Merchant Response:Hi George it's : 4%u215E" wide x 3%u215E" tall (11.7 cm x 9.7 cm) & only (10 mm) thin when closed! Thank you!
