8 of the coolest wallets for your EDC line up

Wallets are, of course, the cornerstone of any man’s EDC line up given we use them on a daily basis and they need to be able to stand up to the rigours that result from this. There are definitely no shortage of wallets to choose from and we’ve compiled a list of 8 of the coolest wallets for your everyday carry line up below:

Koshu Origami Leather Wallet ($75)

A single piece of leather, five precision folds, and a custom brass snap -that’s all there is to a Koshu Origami Leather Wallet ($75) and we love it for that reason here at Coolector HQ. It’s clear there’s much more going on from a design perspective with this great looking piece of EDC. Proceedings are kicked off with Grade-A American leathers and each wallet is handcrafted in San Diego from an inspired origami design that provides you all the functionality of a minimalist wallet in an unabashedly striking package. There is enough space for folded bills and a bunch of cards, a Koshu wallet is clean, understated, and everything you need from your essential piece of EDC. ($75)

Andar Apollo – 6 Card Wallet + Money Clip ($59)

Made from high quality, full-grain leather that is soft right out of the box and continues to break in over time, developing a nice patina in the process, we’re big fans of the aesthetics and affordability of the Andar Apollo – 6 Card Wallet + Money Clip ($59) here at The Coolector. The streamlined design does away with any excess bulk and puts emphasis on comfort. It can hold up to ten cards and has loads of interior room for paper bills that stay in place courtesy of the money clip. ($59)

Bexar Goods Co. S.O.S Slim Wallet ($75)

The ultimate in sleek, understated design, there’s a lot to appreciate with this Bexar Goods Co. S.O.S Slim Wallet ($75). It is one of the most simplistic wallet styles offered and boasts three pockets, two on the outside that allow for rapid access to cards and one in the middle for stashing cash or more cards. It is saddle stitched by hand, joining each leather piece together with a robust poly cord thread. The saddle stitch technique has been used for centuries by expert leather workers, and has a distinct durability advantage when it is compared to the lock stitch technique used by machine stitching. ($75)

Bellroy Note Sleeve Wallet (£65)

Bellroy are one of our favourite brands at The Coolector and that’s because of awesome looking accessories like their Note Sleeve Wallet (£65). It offers a traditional design with a surprising amount of storage space, the Note Sleeve holds cards, bills and coins in a trim, professional billfold design aesthetic. You can place your most used cards in the wallet’s main slots for quick access. And move your less used cards to the pull-tab section – for when you need them. (£65)

Ekster Vachetta Parliament Wallet ($95)

Undoubtedly one of the coolest on our list, the Vachetta Parliament Wallet from Ekster ($95) is a limited edition Italian take on Ekster’s flagship smart wallet. Effortlessly simple card access and minimum bulk, in three beautiful vegetable-tanned colours, you’ll find the perfect one for your own EDC line up. You can also add a tracker card to make it unlosable. Its patented card ejection mechanism will completely revolutionise the way you interact with your wallet. Contents are quickly fanned out at the click of a button, making fumbling through your wallet a distant memory. ($95)

Hard Graft Ta-Da! Card Case (£150)

The Hard Graft Ta Da! Card Case (£150) doesn’t just offer you a magician style showmanship when you pay, it also turns out to be very functional and versatile wallet for your EDC line. Open the case and all seven credit cards / business cards are perfectly revealed and easily accessible. The card case also boasts a small back pocket for your folded banknotes and closes with a black herringbone elastic. Crafted from vegetable tan leather in Italy this wallet measures 10cm x 7.5cm x 1cm and is a one of a kind card case, for a one of a kind person. (£150)
