Somewhere between a card holder and a cash fold you’ll find the Dash Co. Slim Wallet. At two and a half by three and a half inches and around a quarter inch thick, this ultra thin wallet from Dash is a durable, premium wallet that weighs in at under an ounce. Three simple and easy to use compartments store up to six cards and a few bills in an organized fashion, and the canvas and nylon construction will make sure the Dash wallet will keep your payment methods safe for years to come.

Herschel Supply Co. isn’t a new name around these parts. The same style, attention to detail, quality and affordability that put their bags on the map is also available in their wallets. The Charlie Wallet is a minimalist wallet and card case with two slots on either side and a larger central slot decked out in a contrasting lining. At 3″ high, 4″ wide and made of 100% polyester, this Herschel Supply Co. Charlie Wallet, particularly in this woodland camo colorway, can safely and stylishly hold a bunch of cards and cash.

This one is for all those guys that rightly adhere to the sentiment that cash is king. Crafted from a single piece of Horween Chromexcel leather that will age beautifully over time, the Bison Cash Fold Wallet is the best thin wallet for carrying cash and nothing else. Drop some bills onto the longer piece of leather, fold the smaller part up and then fold it over itself to create a trifold cash holster that will easily contain a weekend in Vegas worth of bills. There’s no room for cards or change, but you have this much cash, that doesn’t matter.

After years of research and development it’s safe to say that Machine Era has perfected their slim wallets. The Machine Era Ti5 Wallet combines aerospace grade titanium with an accommodating strap and a built-in bottle opener to create an ultra-light, ultra-durable, good-looking wallet with enough room for up to seven cards or some cash that also has RFID-blocking properties and a specially designed thumb slot for quick access.

Sapling’s Crosshatch Aluminum Wallet is made of solid 6061 aircraft grade aluminum that’s been bead blasted and anodized in a number of different color coatings to help protect it, and your stuff, from the elements, theft and wear from your posterior. It has enough room for one to eight credit cards, cash and business cards. It weighs less than two ounces. It won’t break or screw up your credit cards if you accidentally sit on it. Most importantly, it will make you look good at the end of an evening when you take it out to pay the check.

The DPTR ultra thin leather wallet, they call it the DPTR Clamshell Wallet, works on a simple principle: take one piece of very good leather with a braided elastic band and fold it over everything you need to carry on a regular basis. Each of the Chicago made wallets is crafted from a single piece of 4.5oz brushed latigo Horween leather with a calf leather lining and a 3/8″ braided elastic band. It’s slim and sleek, but since this thin leather wallet doesn’t have any dedicated slots you can feel free to stretch it with a couple receipts, some extra cash or a few business cards.

The Distil Union Wally Bifold took years to develop, but the overall design and patent-pending FlexLock pockets were well worth the wait. On either side of the bifold you’ll find room for a few cards with a strap that allows you to easily access any of the cards inside with a simple pull. On the inside you’ll find an adjustable money clip with space for enough cash for a night out on the town. Somehow, as if by magic, you can fit all of these things into the full-grain leather Distil Union Wally Bifold without creating something unsightly in your pockets.

And as for the “Hide & Seek” name, there’s even a hidden pocket in the rear of the wallet for a few bills, memory cards or change.
