I knew it for the start of this video that the d'avella was your number 1 wallet. I'm planning to buy one soon or later because I absolutely love the form factor. Great video, it's always a pleasure to hear you explaining all sort of details about wallets!
Bro, you nailed it with the #1 choice!! I got an Aviator and then the Houbei, which were both OK but because of cash carrying limitations I felt like I needed something else. Then I saw you recommend the D'Avella and I picked one up. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Thank you!!
Great video as usual, and definitely cannot argue with your number 1 (not surprised either)! I love both of my D’Avella’s. I also have Speakeasy’s Bodhi DC, and Bodhi Coin wallets. Just ordered a WAT in his limited edition Blue leather as well. Ever since I watched your D’Avella review and ordered one of my own, my other wallets became obsolete. Rob’s work is just impeccable. Thanks for the awesome content! 👍💪
Thank you for your great reviews. I bought the Speakeasy D'avella and love it. I was also introduced to Olight from your reviews and bought the Beagle knife and an Obulb and love them. Your honesty in your reviews really helps people who want quality products on a budget make informed decisions. Happy Holidays!
Dear Chrispy Things I watch your programme all the time and I Love it. I bought a couple of wallets from Correa Creative, I carry them all the time fantastic. But most importantly, I want to say something about the people from Correa Creative, they are a brilliant couple. They contact me after two weeks to check if received my wallets which I didn't but that didn't worry me week after they send another message to check, I still didn't get it. What they did was beyond me, they send me another couple of wallets. When I ask them if first will come what then, answer from them keep as you lucky present. I never had a service like that in my life from anybody. Thank you very much, Wieslaw
I have to put the Port #1 just for the fact it is so convenient keeping cards and cash (usually 1 emergency bill) organized in the pockets. My least used cards just go in the middle. All are very nice wallets. Thanks for the video.
Super surprised to see the speakeasy in the top spot! Although I do recall you really loving on it in the review. Glad you put out a top 10! Almost felt too short of a video for how much awesomeness was in there though. Rock on brotha 🙌🏻
Excellent choices my man🤙. My D'Avella has been in my pocket almost every single day this year and about half of last year since I got it. Congrats to Rob your doin great bro.
Really awesome to see your continued support of smaller makers like this! This list does wonders for small businesses. Great picks all around. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
I agree with your #1. It's currently seen the most time in my pocket. Absolutely tllive that thing. Your review is the the reason I purchased. I own the bohdi duL card but the Davella is my go to all the time.
I've tried so many wallets. I just keep falling back into ridge. I recently purchased the forged ember version. Noticed the plates were off on QC. Emailed them, they apologized the wallet didn't meet my standards. And shipped a brand new one. Free of charge. They really stand behind their products.
It's great to see the Leather offerings in the Minimalist wallet world. It almost makes me want to get one of your top 2 for dressier occasions, but...I'm sure you know what's in my pocket! lol Cheers my Friend! I hope you have a great Christmas! Zip~
Hey man I just wanted to ask whether you’ll ever review another action figure? That stuff made my childhood and you got me into collecting. You were my idol and I haven’t followed you recently as you have focused on wallets, of course do what you enjoy but I’ve really started to miss the Neca reviews. Thanks for helping me, Alfie Meakin
I started a new channel for that. I haven’t had time to upload anything new in a while because Odell way behind on this channel, but I plan on doing some new content for the action figures too. I’m going to change the name too. Still working on it. ua-cam.com/channels/yXJFHPp31QeL3Va4fKHIxg.html
All those wallets look like good options. I don't have alot of money so I don't have alot of wallets. I reckon that Speakeasy wallet you picked would have been my first choice as well. 👍
Great selection at #1. When I first saw that video I ordered that Wallet in all black. Only thing I wish was that it wasn't so tall. I hate the cards falling in so deep that so much leather is exposed. But my favorite Wallet is the Benjamin Bott Double Wren... love the look of that..I got it in black and gray.
I have recently adjusted the height slightly on these as much as I can. Keeping the cash fully covered in the back I have to keep that bit of extra leather there still. Chrispy may have noticed that when I sent him his second one in Olive Badalassi Carlo.
@Speakeasy Leather I bought the Fraser... tad too deep... great looking though. I wish I could get it with thumb access on both sides instead of a pocket on the side.
So many beautiful wallets here. Wish I could buy all of them, but the wife would never go for it. I bought the Bellroy Slim Sleeve wallet and really like it, although the quality of the leather doesn't seem as nice as others. But I have wallet lust bad, so I'll probably end up with one from your list here as well.
I'll hold firm on my Trayvax Axis and my Dango T01 Tactical Bi Fold as being the best wallets. But I did only get the Dango cause of your videos! So thank you!
Sticking with my Ashland Fat Herbie as a back packet wallet carrier. I can’t think of another wallet that I can load up with 12 cards and numerous cash bills and still have the wallet measure barely over 1/2” thick. If made in Horween Shell Cordovan it’s an heirloom quality wallet, made in Dublin or Chromexcel it’s the $100 back pocket king IMO. I gave up on minimalist carry except in certain scenarios… as a daily driver my minimalist wallets always end up with 6-10 cards over time and at that point they’re pushing twice the thickness as the Fat Herbie with 12-16 cards.
Nice! I can't disagree with #1 and #2. Both are beautiful conceptually and aesthetically...and ones I remember ogling over watching your reviews. But I'm a one wallet guy, especially when I threw down $130 for it, so I'll just appreciate them in my mind.😁👍
Solid list! I would have had The Port and Houbei 2.0 as my #1 and #2 and your one and two would have been near the bottom of my list. Wallets are a "to each his own." And...I do not like pueblo leather 😂
@@ChrispyThings love your channel and reviews. The contour has been my go to for years. I can't find a wallet I like to carry better. Which sucks because I love wallets. I'll be happy to try out the model 3 when it arrives. Thanks for the review 👍🏻
I regret buying Ridge's Forged Ember now that Rossm also released their Forged Ember which is the exact same version btw for only 30$ effectively the same wallet for 110$ less
Oh, you must’ve skipped the beginning of the video where I explained the requirements for this list. Go back and watch it, then come back and we can discuss why those older wallets aren’t in my 2021 list. Oh. And I’m pretty damn sure there’s a Ridge in this list.
Well to bad. I bought Ridge wallet Forged ember just few minutes ago and now i watched this video.. I guess ill have to hope it will be good wallet and it will last me for years to come.
It’s the reason I gave the rules in the beginning of this video. New in 21. I reviewed it in 21. Or new versions. Trayvax contour didn’t fit any of those. If I was doing my all time favorites video, it would absolutely be in there.
I'm not seeing the speakeasy hype I guess. It's expensive and honestly...not much different than others out there. Look at the number 10 choice....it's got a quick access where I could put 2 cards and then the storage for other cards. Also has the money pocket without an annoying button.
@@speakeasyleather7908 I'm not saying you do shoddy work. There is definitely a hype around your products which is a good thing. One day I will test one out for a couple months.

I just ordered one of yours :)
Which is yours? I’ll order

@@mariosuarez6116... I'm guessing #7 and #2, since his last name is in the name of the wallet...

Your #1 pick definitely looks well used! The leather looks great
Great pics and choices 👍

Just ordered #1. I'm in Canada and the bills should fit just fine. Can't wait!!
How did the Canadian bills end up fitting?

Perfect number 1, been using mine since you reviewed it and can't find anything that is a worthy upgrade
Awesome!

Awesome!
I bought the D'avella earlier this year from your recommendation. It is an amazing wallet and stays in my rotation.
I've tried so many wallets. I just keep falling back into ridge. I recently purchased the forged ember version. Noticed the plates were off on QC. Emailed them, they apologized the wallet didn't meet my standards. And shipped a brand new one. Free of charge. They really stand behind their products.
I’ve experienced nothing but great customer service from the Ridge as well.

@@ChrispyThings thank you I didn’t realise this, I’m happy again now that I have the nostalgia back, cya
All those wallets look like good options. I don't have alot of money so I don't have alot of wallets.
I reckon that Speakeasy wallet you picked would have been my first choice as well. 👍
Great choices. The D'Avella is a really nice looking wallet and very functionable. And $65....no brainer. Gonna get myself one now.
If you do, keep me updated on what you think!
I gotta feeling the open sea leather topsider bifold is going to be top five if not number one given how much you liked it in your review
When you make the 2023 version of this
It’s a top contender for sure.

@@davidtaroyan I will be taking on Custom orders again in January. I could make that happen for you and take some height out of it.
@Speakeasy Leather yes.. let me know when, I'm in... all black with purple thread! Done!
Ordered my Speakeasy. Went with Blue leather, charcoal laces, and black button. Used your discount code. Thanks!
Nice!

The bhodi would be my ideal wallet if the fold was on the long side of the cards & not end to end for a more compact, open layout.
I'll hold firm on my Trayvax Axis and my Dango T01 Tactical Bi Fold as being the best wallets. But I did only get the Dango cause of your videos! So thank you!
These are my favorite wallets of 2021. I reviewed those wallets before 21 so they wouldn’t qualify.
And you’re welcome!

Just purchased the model 3 going to see if it's better than my trayvax contour
2 completely different wallets but both are equally impressive. Still love my Contour.
Should have included the Royal Strickland, Johnny wallet.
Solid list! I would have had The Port and Houbei 2.0 as my #1 and #2 and your one and two would have been near the bottom of my list. Wallets are a "to each his own." And...I do not like pueblo leather 😂
You don’t like Pueblo? Blasphemy!
Lol naw I’m just kidding. You’re right, to each his own. I can’t argue with your picks!
Trayvex contour is by far my favorite
I love the contour but they didn’t release any new version of that wallet in 2021 so I couldn’t include it
Do you like those better than the trayvax contour
These are my favorites of this year.
The Contour would be on my list of all time favorites. I’d have to really sit down to evaluate
@@ChrispyThings love your channel and reviews. The contour has been my go to for years. I can't find a wallet I like to carry better. Which sucks because I love wallets. I'll be happy to try out the model 3 when it arrives. Thanks for the review 👍🏻
I can't sit on those snaps. I like #2 best.
I want the ridge but worried about the straps wearing out and not holding ur cards 💳 in the future
I really like the rowan
Where would you have ranked the OS 50/50?
I regret buying Ridge's Forged Ember now that Rossm also released their Forged Ember which is the exact same version btw for only 30$ effectively the same wallet for 110$ less
Not sure how Rossm gets to keep making wallets while Pocket Pro has legal issues.
That’s way more of a design rip off than pocket pros version
Any of these leather wallets come in faux leather by chance? They seem really nicely made but just not a fan of real leather personally
Thank you!
Honestly I don’t think so. But since most of these are made by smaller companies maybe you could possibly reach out and do a special request.
@@ChrispyThings
Gotcha good point, it might be worth a shot! Thanks my dude
Is Open Sea Leather minis are your favorite too?
This came out after this video was made.
One might make the best of 2022 though
I miss my favorite ohsnap wallet!
Hie I really need to start doing this but I don't have tools to start any one can help me
Walter Raw is cool tho
You should of made this your top leather wallets. No Akeeni Xsto!? Ridge over Aviator?
Oh, you must’ve skipped the beginning of the video where I explained the requirements for this list.
Go back and watch it, then come back and we can discuss why those older wallets aren’t in my 2021 list.

The forged ember Ridge is my favorite wallet made by Ridge. It’s a great wallet
Would have had Lost Dutchman in my top ten.
Ok. Which one?
@@ChrispyThings Thin Finn holds 8 cards and few bills perfectly.
I'm surprised you didn't include the Trayvax Contour
It’s the reason I gave the rules in the beginning of this video.
New in 21. I reviewed it in 21. Or new versions.
Trayvax contour didn’t fit any of those.
If I was doing my all time favorites video, it would absolutely be in there.
If it holds cards only, not cash, it's a card holder. Not a wallet
*In nerd voice
“Well actually…”
Thanks for the wallet lesson bud. 😂
Too many butchered cows for my tastes. Surprised the Akeeni Xsto didn't make the list.
Go back and listen to the requirements of this list. 👍🏻
Holy crap! 1:31: $349 for a frikin wallet? You have to be frikin me! Is it bullet proof?
Gray makes very expensive wallets.
You think the aluminum model is expensive? Check out their titanium models! 😮
Try over US$700 for the Ti version and some are over US$1000.
All hippie wallets
“Back in my day…!”
*shakes fist at screen
