So if you carry three cards in one slot for a month, then you remove one card, the other two will be loose and could fall out, until the leather tightens up again (which will happen, just not immediately).

This happens with all wallets; it’s just the nature of leather. It hasn’t been a problem, but just know that you can’t really “go back” to carrying fewer cards once these wallets stretch out.

Cash Slot vs. Cash Pocket

You can’t go wrong either way, but unless you need to carry more than a couple of bills, I’d go with the Cash Slot version.

The Cash Pocket is nice to have if you want to carry a few bills and an extra card or two (like your insurance card, subway card, etc.).

With the cash pocket version, you can carry your bills folded in half, as shown above.

Or you can fold them twice for a cleaner look (albeit slightly less convenient).

But if you’re the type of guy who only carries a couple of bills and doesn’t need the extra space, go with the lower profile Cash Slot version.

I think this is the best set up for anyone who doesn’t need much cash. If you never carry any cash, the basic Card Wallet is also a great choice.

My Recommendation

Put simply, the Anson Calder Card Wallet is my favorite wallet of all time, and I’m still waiting for a contender to come along and present some real competition.

If you can handle the price tag, I think this wallet is worth every penny.
