Saddleback Leather Wallet Small

Price : $29.00

Product Description

The number of stitches per linear inch, the thickness of thread for aesthetics, the thickness of leather, the slippage of the lining, the radius of the corners, the dimensions to make it most useful, number of pockets, positioning of pockets to keep balance when full, where to stitch, where not to. A lot of thought went into these designs to make them the way they are. They were extensively used by myself, my wife and a friend or two and then evaluated. They were changed over and over again to be exactly what I wanted for myself. I truly believe that these are the most well thought out wallets you?ll ever know.

Saddleback Leather Wallet Small

 

Customer Reviews

This was the perfect wallet for me. I have way too much stuff to fit in any one wallet without causing serious back pain, so I've gone to a two wallet system with this as my main wallet with everyday cards and my license/metro card. Saddleback's small leather wallet proved to be just what the doctor ordered.
I would like to second the other reviews on here that say you need to break it in a bit. Start from the middle (cash slot) and stuff the wallet full for a couple days. I would recommend 8 folded bills, three plastic cards in each of the back slots, two cards in the front card slot (plus a slimmer card if you have it), and one card behind the license on the front. When you think the wallet is ready, cut down to 2 cards in each pocket and 6 bills or so. It will hold everything securely, no worries about anything falling out, but you can easily get what you need. Keeping another card behind the license is key to getting the license out quickly.
I ordered the wallet in the dark tobacco color and I couldn't be happier. Looks terrific, shows some character from use, just a great looking wallet. To add to what an earlier review said about his success using the wallet to start conversations with guys: girls also notice the wallet! Surprisingly they really like the smell of the wallet in addition to the feel and look. Everybody appreciates good craftsmanship, just an added bonus I suppose.
Only potential negative is the Saddleback leather brand on the back of the wallet. It is about 1" x 0.5", probably a bit bigger than I would have liked, but by no means overwhelming or gaudy. I am sure that it will look better with age, but it's something to consider.
I am fully confident that this will be the last front pocket wallet I ever buy.

It's a little tight but I've found that if I cram a few extra cards in for about a week the leather stretches nicely. Just like a good pair of boots or a baseball glove you've got to break it in. Keep an eye on it and test it daily to be sure you don't over stretch the slot. I also bought the passport holder and slip this one inside to hold my important stuff which works beautifully. A man's wallet is an item that can define him, and over time his [...] defines it. Unlike most women and their purses.. it's a symbiotic relationship that is meant to last. When I set this baby down on the bar I look out of the corner of my eye at the guy next to me and wait for him, like clockwork, to lift an eyebrow and then turn his head. My wallet has started more than one "interesting" conversation. I have been searching for the perfect wallet for 4 years ever since my 3rd fossil gave out. No more rubber bands for me, I'm done. This is it. I get the feeling that somehow my leather will save my life. But if it doesn't I'm sure my children and grandchildren will fight over it.
