Design
This leather wallet was designed to stack cards in both slots therefore eliminating the thickness of a layer of leather between the cards. You can stack 5 or 6 cards in each slot as the leather stretches. And the two card slots are on opposing sides to the wallet will be flat and even when folded. And it is narrow and slim enough to fit in the front pocket. And in between the lining and the cow skin, and just like with our medium leather bifold wallet, we put a layer of Radio Frequency ID (RFID) blocking material to block bad people from scanning your wallet and stealing your identification off your credit cards. It happens all day long. Google it.

Materials
This wallet is constructed with full-grain leather and nothing less. Let me explain. A hide of leather is like a roof. A roof is thick, but it's the thinner top layer shingles that keep the water and dirt out and protect the inside. The tough "shingles" of leather is the grain on the top layer of the hide. But a lot of low level bottom dwelling leather wallet manufacturers shave off the top layer with all of the scars so they can use all of the leather and don't have to cut out the scars and throw the away. It's pure business. But in doing so, they're shaving the shingles off of your house. How stupid is that? They neuter the leather and take away its leatherhood. The toughness it's known for. We only use leather that has the full amount of grain (full grain). When they remove some of the grain, the leather is called top grain leather. When they remove ALL of the grain, it's called genuine or split leather. And they do it just to save leather while taking away the strength, durability and water resistance of the hide. Leather isn't cheap and they don't want to lose the profit from throwing away the leather that has scars and marks on it. They just sand or split it off. It's why this full grain leather bifold wallet is so expensive.

Lining
Instead of using a thin shiny and pretty nylon fabric, we line this leather wallet with pigskin, which is tougher than the cow leather. It's how we can offer a 100-year Warranty.

Thread
And then we sewed it with the incredible marine-grade polyester continuous filament thread. Trust me. It's strong and resistant. It's what ship sails and parachutes are made with. If your life depends on it, use this thread.

Leather
The reason bank tellers and cashiers will compliment you on this leather wallet is because Full Grain leather ages way more nicely because it still has all of the pores on it. Lesser leathers had the pores removed so oils and dirt can't set in.

I ordered this wallet along with an ID wallet (Carbon), a tote and wallet for the GF, and the list is continuing! I carry a wallet in my front pocket due to back issues and needed something that would not look too bulky considering I stack my smartphone below it in my left front pants pocket (my keys, chapstick and change in the other). I wavered between this and the Medium bifold and pulled the trigger on this one. It is the perfect choice and not too bulky, even when combined with my phone in my jeans or Dickies pockets. This wallet is extremely well made. It has heft and impeccable build quality, yet is not too stiff and won't require a painful break-in. I hold three cards in each side along with paper medical & dental cards, 2 car registrations and 2 insurance cards. There is room for more cards. As is, the wallet closes flat when sitting on my nightstand (without break-in) and the cards on both sides don't even come in contact with each other when closed (I know some people have had concerns with card breakage in other older designs). I don't see how this can possibly be an issue with this wallet. DCB wasn't my first choice in colors but Tobacco wasn't available at the time. This is a nice rich color (very dark). I do prefer colors that stand out a bit more and have ordered the Small Bifold in Tobacco. I will not kick my DCB wallet to the curb and will likely switch between the two, along with my ID Wallet in Carbon. I like having a variety to chose from and tend to collect nice things such as these. One thing I know for sure is that all of my Saddleback products will outlast me!

Products: Small Bifold in DCB Medium Macbook Pro sleeve in DCB Pros: Look great Feel great Work great Cons: These pieces smell nothing like leather to my nose. It's more of a vinyl/plastic synthetic scent, and it's pretty intense at first. I guess it's the die (could be a DCB thing). If someone put a blindfold on my eyes and one of these pieces under my nose, I would not guess that they were leather. The smell fades quickly with use, so it's not a showstopper. On the flip side, nobody else seems to have made this observation so it could be that I am crazy or do not know what actual leather is supposed to smell like ;)

I bought this wallet because I was tired of paying $30 every few years for a wallet that had good leather but fabric lining that would always tear. Best $50 I've ever spent. (Well... except for the time I went to Vegas and turned $50 into a lot more.) First, the design is fantastic. There's no better way to keep your cards safe than having their pockets face the bend of the wallet. Second, this thick and durable. When it was brand spankin new, it was difficult to shove bills into the crease, but after a year and a half, it's more pliable, and I've been able to stuff thirty bills into it. What you should know: 1) It starts off stiff, so anticipate carrying fewer bills until you break it in. 2) It will slowly bend your credit cards. They'll still work, but if you plan on using them as coasters once they've expired, the coasters won't be flat. 3) The card pockets will stretch. I don't think this makes much of a difference since the cards have no way of escaping your wallet unless if you decide to hold the wallet opened and shake it. Oh, and I got it for my brother in law in black (mine is chestnut) and he loves his. Hell yes I'd recommend this product.

I have been looking at this site since the bifold wallet was recommended in a copy of money sense magazine up here in the great white North (or in other words a very long time). I finally took the plunge and purchased a small bifold wallet for myself and a long Trifold wallet for my wife. We love them and expect to make many more purchases in the future as we replace our current items for saddleback leather quality. If your like me and use just cards and the occasional cash to navigate through life, then you will be very pleased with the small bifold wallet. All my cards fit nicely and they are incredibly easy to access. I enjoy the small footprint of space that the wallet occupies in my pocket. Like I said earlier, I am a convert. LH

I purchased the small bifold in tobacco a few months ago, it is a great addition to my edc. It's comfortable, it holds all I need it to hold, and I absolutely LOVE how the tobacco looks over time. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a quality wallet that's just the right size, and quality well worth the price. Since purchasing I find I am constantly telling people about the quality products offered by saddleback, and its refreshing to find a company that will not cut corners in their final product!
