Hey Chad, thanks for the thoughtful video! Happy to answer any questions about that Distil Union gear. We've had fun designing those through the years. I cycle through them all the time to test them out, so always good to hear of someone else's experience with them.
Appreciate that sir! Thanks so much for chiming in.
thanks for the vid. Thanks for splitting them into categories like that
You bet. Been thinking and working on this video for a while so I wanted to do it the right way - and wasn’t sure any way would be correct! Thanks so much for watching.
I have this exact same problem ugh lol. I've been just accumulating wallets overtime especially from Dango Products 😭😅.
I feel you! And since this video, I’ve changed my wallet AGAIN. What can you do? 😁
Hey Chad, great video as always, I’m 50 and I have been searching for at least 40 years for the perfect wallet, I “think” I have found it , it’s the leather pouch I emailed you with, it holds my credit card , my driving licence and my medical needs card , literally everything else now is all don’t on my iPhone but I do like the last two Wally wallets, keep safe brother ✌🏻
Thanks man!
I'm going with the Allett Sport leather wallet because I like the pocket for bills instead of the flash-cash money clip and it's a little thinner.
I've got a Dango D03 that I carry comfortably in my back pocket, had a bulky leather wallet for quite a while, and wanted something super slim and since I don't carry much cash, the Dango D03 worked for me. Super thin even fully loaded, and fits everything I need, but I can totally see how it wouldn't work if you need to carry more stuff!
I’ve got some Dango stuff coming so I’m looking forward to what you’re talking about. Thanks for your input!
Love the video man! I’ve had a hard time finding a good minimalist wallet. I’ve like the ridge wallet type style for cards but I haven’t found a good one yet with a solution for cash.
Hopefully I gave you some good ideas brother. Hope you find what you’re looking for. I know it took me a while. Thanks for your comment.
@@LandmanEDC also side note I’m not sure how I just now found your channel! It popped up as a recommendation and I was like hey! That guy was my youth group intern years ago!
Awesome, man! Yeah I remembered the name, but there's probably plenty of Jeffery Taylors out there so I didn't chance it. Thanks for watching and getting in touch, hope everything is going well for you.
I’ve used a FlowFold bifold sail cloth wallet for about 20 years. They are very light and slim.
I will look that up! Thank you for your suggestion!
Two favorite wallets for me by far are Crazy Horse Craft leather wallets and Chums Surfshorts wallet.
The Chums wallet would make my top 5 honestly. It’s great and cheap. Works very well for beach vacations and such. I’ll have to check out that Horse Craft wallet, thanks for your comment and thanks for sharing!
Hi, new to your content. I had a George Costanza type wallet for years and am forcing myself to go smaller. I recently bought a Wayfinder Flux. Really like it, seems industructable. Has room for about 7 cards and a couple of bills in middle, but it is tight. But I also like it that way so stuff doesn't fall out. Am now trying the Supr Slim wallet for Supr Good. It's basically a nice elastic type band. It has room for its color matching card to kind of hide your cards behind it and has room for about six more cards behind it. Don't see it being a good option if you need to carry some cash, but boy I like the feel of it. Both are a game changer when sitting, writing or driving and doing errands.
I'll have to look up that Wayfinder. Appreciate your comment, and welcome to the channel!
@@LandmanEDC Wayfinder is definitely minimalist but there is room for a few bills. I think it is perfect when you know what you are doing for the day and want to travel "light infantry" light. Lol
I have a serman brands minimalist 1.s wallet. Holds cash, has a non rfid window for id and proximity card. Pull tab for hidden cards. I even have a modified airtag card in one of the slots. Been using it for 7 years. I only bought a new one because I saw a different color I like.
Heard a lot of great things about Serman brands - I’ll have to check them out!
I like the Alpaka zip wallet alot.....but I dont use it as a wallet. I use it as a EDC pocket organizer. My knife, light, a pen, and other stuff but now a wallet. What Ive used for a number of years now is a cheap noname leather cardholder with a a flap front. Im on my third one now. Dont know a name or model number but you can find them in discount leather shops, those dudes selling leather at fairs, etc. You go with what you like and if you find something that works, you stay with it.
There ya go! Thanks for your input.
I've tried a few different pouch style wallets, specifically the alpaka one and I liked it but the size has made me go back to a conventional style nylon wallet by slimfold, its super thin and holds all the cards I need. I am finding that I actually carry fewer cards and no cash every day, so I keep most things like cash and insurance cards in the alpaka wallet in my backpack.
I tend to do that as well. I have a couple of different wallets for different days, etc. thanks for your comment!
11:07 I have the Bellroy one. The pocket that they have on that side is more so designed for coins and the cards fit into the middle and on the other side with the SIM tray.
I personally didn't like that i had to open the zip constantly to get my cards 😂 but it's really well made regardless.
It is well made, as most Bellroy stuff is. Thanks for your comment!
Funny enough, my top 3 wallets serve a similar purpose as yours. 3: apple wallet, for no cash and ultra minimal. 2: hitchhiker wallet, daily carry, some cash and some cards. And 1: houbei 2.0!! For vacations or when i have a lot of cash on me
I’ll have to check out that Houbei. Outstanding list. The Apple Wallet almost made my list. Thanks for your comment!
I enjoyed your video. You showed 2 Distil Union wallets but not their ModWallet Kit. I’ve been looking at their magnetic wallet system because it seemed like I could carry a single part when I wanted minimal carry for my ID and a couple cards, and the entire thing when I wanted everything. Did you try it? If you ruled it out from consideration, why? Thanks.
So I unboxed a ton of Distil stuff in this video, ModWallet included 👉🏼

It’s a GREAT system, just not for me. I have very minimal needs when it comes to a wallet, and the ModWallet had a little too much material for me. I wear pants with specific small upper back pockets and it didn’t fit. It was nice and flat, but a little too long because of the magnets in one end. It was honestly just a personal preference for me, but I can highly recommend it. It’s a great system. Great questions, thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel.
@@LandmanEDC Thanks for the reply. I’ll watch your video. I had not considered that it would be longer. I need to check my pockets. Thanks again.
You should try Anson Calder wallets. Expensive, but in my opinion classy and minimal
I will check those out for sure. Thanks for your suggestion!
So many choices of wallets but they seem to be getting smaller and smaller where notes won't fit, fold and they flop back up and get caught in the zip so I leave the zip open. Money hard to see to get out then I loose track of types of coin and end up with a build up of other coins and my cards end up falling out as the wallet loosens. I settled for a £3 black leather zipped purse down the charity shop which fits in my pocket and holds everything in and the notes straight on one side, money on the other and I can see the change. I wonder is it that they put fashion ahead of functionality and convenience.
Fashion certainly is a part of EDC gear, whether we will admit or not. Thanks for your comment!
Hi from London, great video Thanks. Please can you help me find a wallet! Let me explain. Im looking for either a wallet or a small pouch, it will contain the following...Coins and notes, a few credit cards AND my Huntsman swiss army knife. I have looked at the brand Viperade but they seem obsessed with various small tools and aren't used as a regular wallet, also I prefer my folding knife on the inside of the wallet and not on view in a outer sleeve. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. Ps must fit in front pants pocket, Thanks 😊
So I think you should check out Arc Company. I think one of the EDC solutions would fit your use case. My next video will actually be on some of their products, which I have used for almost 8 years now. And they’re not expensive either!

@@LandmanEDC Thank you, I just hope they ship to England!😁👍
It’s a lot, I know. But I would appreciate your thoughts below!
You have to rub wax on the zippers for it to slide nicely. You can use a regular candle for that. Thank me later sir. 👋🏼
Thanks for sharing.
I'm not a fan of hard case wallets. I'm strictly a leather wallet man.
I wear a suit to work every day and prefer to carry a breast pocket wallet instead of sitting on a bulky wallet all day.
I've carried a breast pocket wallet since I got my first job out of college and changed the type of breast pocket wallet as my needs change.
I'm not one of those men who carries his breast pocket wallet in his back pocket on the weekend. That's when my money clip comes in. I carry my driver's license, fire department id, my debit card and a credit card along with less than $50.00 in it.
My favorite EDC from the last 20 or years are:
1. Bosca. It's been my EDC the last 15 or so years. It's got 6 credit card pockets, a peel back flap for cash, two slip pockets (one on each side of the wallet) and a well pocket that I use to stash large bills when I travel for work.
The Craftsmanship and functionality can't be beat.
2. Stuart Kern. This was the breast pocket wallet that my dad gave me when I graduated from grad school and the one, he was using as his EDC when he passed away.
It's a good solid wallet but is too much for me to use as an EDC when things slip out of the slip pockets easily.
3. Maxwell Scott. It's a well-made breast pocket wallet I got as a 50th birthday gift from co-workers that I haven't used nearly enough.
4. Tumi Global Deluxe breast pocket wallet. I probably should rank this higher but feel it's more designed for international travelers than an everyday businessman. When I travel for work it's almost 100% in the USA with an occasional trip to Toronto or Montreal.
5. Wanders Travel Company. Although it has 30 credit card and id slots, it appears to be worth using as an EDC. My fiancée discovered Wanders on the recommendation of one of her co-workers. I think the purse she ordered from them is made better than Coach or Michael Kors at a far better price. I haven't used the wallet yet as Wanders is based in Australia.
6. My grandfather's breast pocket wallet that he got as a retirement gift from the Board of the Rock Island Railroad when he retired as Chairman.
For the era, I suppose it was a very practical wallet as there is only a small pocket for postage stamps. and more than enough room for cash.
The wallet has his name engraved on it. (It's the same as mine and my dad's).
The last time I used it was when my fiancée and I went to a retirement dinner for one of her big bosses at work. When I pulled it out to tip the bartender, my driver's license, debit card, credit card and cash all fell out on the bar. I got some interesting looks when that happened.
t'
Amazing stuff, I’m going to look into all of those. Thank you for your comment!
My fiancée ordered me a breast pocket wallet from the Wanders Travel Company in Australia
I had had never heard of them until she showed me the quality of the purses they make.
Can't wait to try it out as a EDC when it arrives- hopefully this week.
@mooseriddle Cool!
@@LandmanEDC A quick review of the Wanders Travel company Kent Card Wallet:
PROS
1. Functionality
2. Style. It's great for an EDC and for special events.
3. More than enough room for what I carry on a daily basis.
4. Leather is very soft and durable.
5. Design of the slip pockets is spot on. Slip pockets are designed so cash, parking stubs ETC. won't fall out.
6. Wallet rides nicely in the breast pocket of my suit jackets.
7. Big fan of the professional look of the wallet.
Cons
1. Card slots are very difficult to break-in for quick removal and return.
2. Wallet is a bit taller than I would like and occasionally rise up into my arm pit when I sit down.
3. Wallet could definitely use a peel back flap or well pocket for cash.
4. RFID protection would take this wallet to the next level!
5. Having the company name on the front of the wallet, is a big turn off for me. Why not put it on the inside like Bosca and Tumi do?
Looking forward to using it as a EDC on my upcoming six-week trip for work.
Wont magnets just destroy ur cards? R u scamming/shilling? Have u even used that #1 wallet? If so how many cards have u gotten ruined?
1.No, it’s 2023 and cards aren’t designed that way anymore 2. No, what even are you asking 3. Yes - every day 4. None, again - cards aren’t designed that way anymore.
You could always send me one, even the one you don't like the most. 🥲🥲
I will absolutely do that. Send me your mailing address to my channel email - Chad.landman@gmail.com. I’ll send you that and some goodies. Seriously!
@@LandmanEDC Are you being serious? 'cause I actually live somewhere in Southeast Asia, but if the shipping cost isn't a problem for you then I'll be more than happy and thankful to send you my address. I'll also understand if you think it's too much though, I'll still really appreciate your kindness. 😊
I’m serious. Not a big deal on the cost. I know how hard it must be to get some great stuff down there. I’ll send it pretty slow so it won’t be so expensive.
