Not the same quality anymore
September 19, 2022
I’ve been buying Big Skinny wallets for over 10 years. Unfortunately, as of 2022, the wallets are no longer manufactured with the same high quality anymore, so I will never be buying one again. Of most importance is that the pockets for your credit cards are no longer deep enough to actually hold the full height of your credit cards anymore! Your credit card will now precariously dangle in the pocket, and will almost stick out of the top of your wallet! Comparing my newest Big Skinny wallet to my previous Big Skinny wallet, there is at least a 1/2” difference in depth between the old pockets and the new pockets. Of secondary importance, the outside of the wallet has completely loose stitching everywhere that can easily be pulled apart with the gentlest of tugs. This has never happened to any of my Big Skinny wallets in 10 years of owning then, but their 2022 wallets are totally cheap and are made with extremely cheap quality materials. This company has completely changed everything about the manufacturing process of these wallets, and the results are absolutely terrible.
Merchant Response:Hi Scott, YIKES! Sounds like you got a lemon -- I personally went into the warehouse to go through the remaining stock of the Multi Pocket Bi-Folds and the sewing appears to be fine. We will have a replacement sent out to you immediately. I apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. We hope you will give us another chance. All the best, BigSkinny
Cons
- Pockets not deep enough to hold credit cards. Frayed stitching. Loose stitching. Cheaper materials than used in the past. Cannot be effectively used as a wallet anymore.
