I know this isn't your typical review for a car forum...but since you can't leave home without your wallet, here's a review of my new wallet.
I'm stubbornly (stupidly?) picky when it comes to wallets...mainly because I insist on having an ID window. So that cuts down on some of my options. I also wanted some elements of a minimalist wallet...but not super minimalist because I need to carry my license, ID and about 10 cards. I also like having a space for a few bills even though most of my purchase of electronic. I also like leather. I LOVE the Bellroy wallet line...but they just didn't have one for me. But I'd highly recommend their wallets just the same. Beautiful and functional with many nice touches.
I stumbled onto Bryker Hyde wallets by accident..and after using their Minimalist 2.0 for a week or so, I'm super impressed.
First is quality. The leather is beautiful. The stitches are all very nice with no imperfections. Branding (thankfully) is kept to a minimum with only their small logo on the outside corner. But where the wallet shines is in functionality. There are 4 outside pockets where you can store your most used cards. Bank cards, bus passes, credit cards, etc. This is an element of a minimalist wallet I wanted...easy card access. The outside slots are a "V" shape so you can easily slide the card up with one thumb for access. Moving to the inside, there is the ID window. Under the ID window is a slot for another card or two. And on the opposite side there are 2 slots plus one slot under those. Then a firm money clip that snaps open/close for your bills. It holds fast...I have yet to have any bills move.
It's also light and small. I favor front pocket carry. With 4 bills and 12 cards it measures in ~20mm at the thickest part.
And price? $44 all in delivered. I chose their charcoal distressed leather.
So there you have it...my new, sleek wallet.
