I have already purchased 2 of these and this is my 3rd time. I've tried to buy from other brands but this one just checks all the boxes for me: slim, can fit in my back jean pocket, fits any purse/bag/backpack I use, colors are bright that I can spot it, ease in pulling out all my cards, has 2 windows for easy flashing/showing of my ID and Costco cards... In case you're wondering why I've gone through 3, the first 2 have been overused and got dirty. I could have washed them but it was the perfect reason for me to just buy another one. For my third one, I switched to leather and so far...it's remained clean.

This wallet is GREAT in so many ways. I have owned at least eight of them and quite frankly, they do not wear out! I have ruined a couple on my own, and just decided to switch colors at times. Each color is vibrant whether leather or nylon and though small, this wallet really is a GIANT and can hold all the essentials including a single house key. Thank you Big Skinny for creating a great, long-lasting product!
Pros
  • Fits easily into front or back pockets.
  • Slots are secure, cards do not fall out.
  • Durable and very well-made.
  • The colors whether nylon or leather are vibrant and true to the photos.
  • The price is so affordable.
Cons
  • None

Leather New Yorker Card Holder
December 28, 2020
This is a nice size card holder. I had one for years before it started to show its age. I haven't been able to find anything else that can hold as many cards as this one. I definitely overload it and it handles it superbly.
Pros
  • size fits in the front pocket. 2 windows for drivers license and other id card (passport card)

Awesome minimalist wallet!
February 18, 2020
I have been using this wallet for years, and I love it. I have to carry multiple forms of ID for work so having the double transparent windows is great and keeps me from having to dig around for my IDs. One of the only problems I have had with this wallet is the pockets becoming loose if you fill it with cards for a while then remove some. For its size it can hold a lot, but if you stuff it you need to watch out for loose pockets. The other problem I have is there is no RFID protection for this wallet. I hate using the RFID sleeves. Granted this is not really a problem with the wallet itself but I wish Big Skinny would come out with a RFID New Yorker.
Pros
  • Small
  • Holds a lot of cards
  • Double ID window
Cons
  • Card pockets can become loose after removing cards.
  • No RFID option outside of keeping cards in sleeves.

This is the second time I purchased the "Leather New Yorker Black" I purchased my first one a number of years ago at the Christmas Market in Philadelphia, Finally after years of wear and tear it came time to replace it and there was no question, I wanted to replace in kind - which I did. Great product, compact, and long wearing.

Big Skinny Wallet
July 25, 2018
This is my second Big Skinny wallet of this type.... My first one lasted a number of years and was going strong until I forgot to remove it from my pocket prior to putting my jeans in the wash. After I removed my first wallet from the dryer the plastic cover didn't look very good so I purchased a new one. Thanks for making a great wallet that is functional and is very thin in my pocket. so thin in fact that I hardly even realize it's in there while sitting, etc.
Pros
  • Total thickness or rather thinness so to speak
Cons
  • N/A

September 24, 2017
This isn't my first skinny wallet. I bought several for gifts a few years ago and those that received them always comment on how much they love, love their wallets. I knew they were good, but I never realized how much I would love a wallet until I bought this one.
Pros
  • well made and a pleasure to hold

Product is good, customer service sucks
June 19, 2017
The wallet is as advertised. It is small and hold everything I had in my old wallet. I couldn't believe how long it took to ship 2 wallets and a money clip. Then they ship it FedEx that hands off to USPS. Lots of wasted time. Takes the edge off of the excitement of a purchase. Got a bunch lame excuses for why it's takes more than two weeks to arrive. I have had stuff from China not take this long.

Merchant Response:Hi Ron, Thank you for calling this to our attention. Our sincere apologies for the delay! We have gone ahead and refunded your shipping cost. We are looking into employing other shipping methods. Kind regards, BigSkinny

Of course, I was aware this is a card holder, but it would be nice to be able to slightly fit in some cash (it's difficult to stuff in a few bills). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this, it feels great and feels so much better than my older wallet that I would keep in my pocket whenever I wore pants.

Leather on one side only
April 19, 2016
Unless you investigate the pictures thoroughly, the title would make you think the entire wallet is leather. Only one side is leather and the other side is vinyl. Aside from the problems I've had with Big Skinny, this just added to it. It's odd and it looks and feels wrong to have half the wallet one material and half the wallet another material.

Merchant Response:Hi K, Thank you for your review! That's actually our secret for how we keep our wallets and card cases so thin. We take all that inside bulk, leather, cloth, & foam out and replace it with a very thin layer of nylon microfiber. If you are not completely thrilled with your purchase, please contact our customer service team at 1.888.844.6925 or at bigskinny@customerstatus.com and they'll be happy to process a refund for you. Thank you again for your feedback! Kindest regards, Big Skinny

4th New Yorker Card Holder

This is my 4th wallet from the Big Skinny. I absolutely love them and haven't used anything else since I first bought this wallet. I like the viewable id on the outside of the wallet as it makes for quick access to my license and it holds plenty of cards as well.

Leather NY card Holder
February 1, 2016
I love the fact that it takes up very little room. I do find that the credit cards fit so tightly that it is hard to get them out of the slot when you need to use them. I would also like room for a few more cards. I thought I could put more than one card in a slot but the slots are really too tight.

Merchant Response:Hi Gail, Thank you for your feedback! The Leather New Yorker will loosen up with a couple of days of use then you should be able to fit 2-4 cards per pocket :) Thank you! Big Skinny

2 ID's, 8 CC's, 8 paper $$ bills, 15mm
August 10, 2015
I've had quite a few thin wallets, but this one is by far my absolute favorite. Non-leather version is probably a couple of mm thinner still, but I like the quality of the leather. U.S. paper currency that is folded in half fits easily, and completely concealed, in the inside pocket that is opposite the id and behind the card slots (see picture) In general, this requires you to remove all of the bills - to peel off the particular bill you are tendering - and the replace them. Some might consider this a nuisance versus having a currently section that opens fully allowing the user to see the entire length of each bill, but I have not found it particularity bothersome and I LOVE the SLIM !!! Look no further. You will not find a better value in a wallet.
Pros
  • Efficient, durable, compact, quick access to 2 ID's, and slim to the bone
Cons
  • Storage and use of paper currency requires a little more attention to detail than wallets that allow access to the fully extended long side of the bills.

Best Wallet On the Market
June 26, 2015
The design of this wallet is the best I've found in many years. No more bulging wallet in the back pocket to mess up your spinal alignment. It fits comfortably in my front pocket and is very thin, even with a number of cards and licenses in it. Very happy with this product.
Pros
  • Thin, lightweight, durable
Cons
  • None

Perfect Size & Compartments
March 31, 2015
Well thought out, practical, just enough compartments, good leather. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this card holder to anyone in the future. In fact all my friends say where did you get it from, I say my parents picked it up in the US/ NY. I have no doubt that if Big Skinny was to open in London it would be a great hit. If it weren't for P&P more of my friends would have bought this item. One slight criticism, the clear ID pouch has torn slightly however this is easily preventable if (A) you don't take anything in or out of it often and (B) if you use the thumb sliding slot provided every time to avoid stretching/ tearing the leather where it is stitched into the rest of the card holder. Also personal Thanks to Stephanie McBride for helping me with my shipping issues and EXCELLENT customer service.

Merchant Response:Hi Huw, Thank you so much for your review! Your wallet is covered for 1Year for Materials & Workmanship so we will certainly ship another out to you. Have a great day! Kind regards, Big Skinny
Pros
  • Build Quality, Leather, Practical, Compartments, Size,
Cons
  • Front clear ID durability as it is stitched into the rest of the wallet

Excellent Wallet
March 30, 2015
I love this wallet, It is thinner fully loaded that my old wallet was completely empty. I barely notice this new one in my pocket which makes it extremely comfortable for me to carry. I will continue to come back to big skinny and use their products. Thank you for making this excellent wallet.
Pros
  • Very slim
  • Comfortable to carry/barely noticeable in pocket
Cons
  • None
