Your wallet should complement your lifestyle. The ideal men’s wallet is one that you can take delight in whipping out at the end of a meal with a client or the in-laws. It’s hard-wearing, able to withstand everyday use, and has high-end design appeal. The perfect minimalist wallet is a marriage of form and function. That gives us a final score of 37 out of 50.More than just a means of transporting essentials like money and ID, the best wallets for men are also an opportunity to express your taste and style. For quality a 5, price a 2, and usability a 4 and perception a 4. It is excellent and something well worth adding to your collection if you are interested in this kind of a wallet. I am excited to see what additional products they may come out with in the future beyond just the design for this which they have been sitting on and selling for a few years. Like most companies these days, they got their start on Kickstarter and over the course of two campaigns, they crushed it on Kickstarter. The measurements of this wallet is 3.5 x 2.3 x 0.5 and weighs 26 grams. So unless you laminate your cards, of which they provide a kit to do that, you have no method of really being able to put other things in here like discount cards or other non credit card sized items. One potential issue is that it can’t handle non rigid cards. You find the card that you want and easily remove it and replace it with ease. If you want to gain access to cards, you just remove them. It is easy to put cards in and pull them out. If you want to carry cash, it will require the money clip piece which is almost two thirds the price of the main wallet.Īs for usability, from a simplicity perspective, this is easy. The pricing on this is $69 for the card portion. There are no additional components, just one piece. This one is CNC’d from a single billet of 6061 T6 aerospace grade aluminum. They come in different colors on the aluminum side which makes this a great option if you are looking for particular colors to design as your own. They have a four, five, eight, and twelve card version of the wallet in aluminum, nickel, and titanium which are all great materials. The Decadent Minimalist is designed in the United States and made in Seattle. But as a card holder primarily, it makes you wonder if we still need cash? From a minimalist carry perspective, even though this is made for twelve cards, you could get away with four to eight cards reasonably well, especially if you have other options and features like the money clip or a coin tray. I would say you could get maybe six to eight embossed cards inside.

If you had embossed cards, that would reduce the capacity just a bit. The twelve cards are flat with no embossing.

With the card and cash insertion test, this is the twelve card version and as expected I was able to put twelve cards in there very easily. It acts like a card, but this is primarily a card wallet. There are also options available for cash slip cards. Although they do have a specific lanyard version of the wallet, if you wanted to carry it around your neck with an ID. The color is gold and it comes packaged in a cotton bag.įor the feature review of the Decadent Minimalist DM-1 wallet there are some slip holes on both sides at the top, so you could run cord through if you wanted to use it with a lanyard. This wallet comes in a tightly focused box. I have had this for a number of months and have been wanting to do a review on it. Today we are reviewing the Decadent Minimalist DM-1 wallet.
