25 BEST MINIMALIST WALLETS for Men (Ekster, Trayvax, Nomatic, Vaultskin, & More)

I tested 25 slim wallets from 22 quality direct-to-consumer brands—big and small—to find which have the best design and how each wallet looks in your pockets.

After all, no one wants to carry an exploding Costanza wallet. Just cash and a couple of cards are all that’s needed for the perfect minimal wallet.

This minimalist wallet, hands-on review also covers areas such as form factor, storage capacity, quality, ease of use, wallet weight, color options, notable packaging, RFID technology and more.

Hey gents, back at it with a best minimalist wallets review. I’ve provided links to all of the featured wallets in the description. Do you have any slim wallet favorites?

[Beck-Stein]

Pro tip: dont get a wallet with a dependency on an elastic band. The elasticity will eventually weaken allowing your contents to disperse and not hold. Ive lost a credit card this way.

[Levi-xgfz]

Thank you for showing what they look like in the pockets. That’s always something I’m looking at but not most reviewers do not consider.

[Mandy_]

Great job with this video! I'm a woman who doesn't carry a purse & like simple wallets that don't look to masculine! I hate when they're too big or bulky so the fact you took the time to put each one in your front & back pocket is super appreciated! Best comparison video for minimalist wallets!!

[bcjcben]

I’ve had the Vaultskin Chelsea for about 6 or 7 years now and it’s just as good as when it was new, highly recommend to anyone on a budget

[TachoSJ]

I’ve had the nomadic wallet for years, I love it. I’ve stretched it out a bit so I’m in the market for another slim wallet

[TheGeishakuula]

That Radix is a beauty. Def looking for it to add to my collection. Already 4 new wallets bought in a week, and more to come.

So far you're only person to actually show how these look in pocket. That's great

[boogeyman]

Awesome wallets...i have the trayvax contour and the vaultskin nottinghill and they are both awesome and i recommend them.

[JG-dcmq]

Any chance those limited edition Daniel's KB 24 are available anywhere?

[ryane.deyette]

Damn! I wish I had discovered your channel before some recent purchases. Your article helped me to decide on Thorogood Moctoes. Keep it up!

[bernardopratama]

I love how some of these feature a hole to attach a chain. I'm in the market for a new wallet and very few have this feature

[rogercaughell]

That was an exhaustive list! I was hoping to get your opinion about the Ridge Wallet. Have you had any experience? I currently use a minimalist Zippo brand card carry/money clip combo but they do wear out after about three years.

Looking for a slim RFID wallet with an outside slot for tracker card. I assume tracker cards don’t work inside the RFID

[WASTEssbu]

Great video, I ended up ordering the vaultskin Chelsea!

[Menleah]

I bet your friends get a lot of wallets for Christmas. Great video by the way 🙂

[BreadFred]

I like to have one of those cool, stylish leather wallets but the prices just makes me to not take the plunge.

I got a traditional-looking "grown man's" brown leather wallet with a flap and some cheap small two-zipper pouch, mainly to carry coins. I like to move on to something lightweight.

[goostador]

Review the Akeeni XSTO!
What wallets do you hold for work, dinner, vacation, gym?

[MrOnweeed]

Hey a comment if it helps anyone, I had the Vaultskin Chelsea for about 4 years, last week the strap finally come lose. I could not remember the name of the brand since it only has the logo, thanks for all the recomendations!

[bernardopratama]

Suggestion: similar video for passport wallets

[RoadToFame]

Imagine how much wallets this guy has now 😂😂😂
