How to Choose a Men's Leather Wallet: Slim, Bifold, RFID or Card Holder?

A good men's wallet is chosen by what goes in it. Before picking a style, ask yourself: how many cards do I carry? Do I still use cash? And coins?

Slim wallet

For 4–8 cards and a few bills, with no bulge in the back pocket. A slim leather wallet even fits a front pocket.

Classic bifold

More card slots, a bill compartment and sometimes an ID window. For those who carry lots of cards and receipts.

Coin-pocket or zip wallet

If coins end up loose in your pocket, a wallet with a snap or zip coin pocket keeps everything in place.

Card holder

For those who pay mostly by card or phone. A slim card holder carries your key cards and a bill or two. A pop-up version fans the cards out with one push.

What is RFID?

A layer inside the wallet that blocks contactless reading of credit cards. Every wallet with this protection says so on its page.

A leather wallet is also a great gift for him: useful, personal and better with time.
