What makes the Slimfold Micro Tyvek a standout, though, is the sophistication of its patterns. We could easily slip five cards into the left slot and two cards each into the two on the right-with each of the back hidden pockets holding three cards, the wallet can accommodate 15 cards easily. The wallet is a delight to use, as cards slide easily into any slot. Its layout is exactly the same as that of the Slimfold Micro Soft Shell, with three card slots, one cash pocket, and two hidden card slots behind the cash pocket, only there’s no clear plastic panel on the left slot.
For starters, Tyvek is a DuPont invention that spins together polyethylene fibers to create, essentially, a very durable paper. Why it’s great: The Slimfold Micro Tyvek Wallet is so appealing in appearance, it’s the one I’ve been carrying almost every day since working on this guide. The grippy rubber interior did keep the cards very secure, though.
In our tests, we found that claim to be true, though we also found it cumbersome to sort through any more than three cards simply because they’re all just stacked into one pocket without any separation. The pockets are lined with rubber for maximum grip, and Allett claims you can fit five in each, for a total of 10 cards. The Allett Leather Sport Wallet gets around this problem by using soft leather just for the exterior-the interior is a moisture-wicking nylon with just two card pockets. It’s easy to find cheap leather card holders, especially made of tougher leather, but cheap leather wallets are much harder to come by because more leather equals more expense. Why it’s great: The problem with a lot of the cheaper leather wallets is that they fall short in much of what we look for-they have low-quality leather (just coming from an actual cow is not enough), they have loose and uneven stitching, and they’re often so stuffed with pockets and flaps that they barely count as “thin” regardless of their marketing. Leatherology also offers a personalized monogram option for up to four characters (in any of three sizes, two fonts, and four colors) on either the exterior or interior of the wallet.
We were worried the black wallet would look boring, but the texture on the leather made it aesthetically pleasing even in such a neutral color.

You could easily fit eight cards in the Leatherology wallet (six in the slots, plus two in the extra interior pockets). Cards slide in and out with ease, but the slots aren't so wide you’d worry that they’d slip out. Beyond its appearance, though, the wallet is just a simple pleasure to use. The stitching along the outside edges was tight and precise, especially compared with the widely spaced and somewhat amateurish stitches we saw on wallets from Phil’s Wallets and Thirteen50. The wallet felt pliable straight from the box. Unlike with some of the other leather wallets we tested, the leather on this wallet smelled distinctly of leather, rather than having a chemical odor that took a few days to off-gas.
