21st Century Checkbook Wallets
Here’s the quick summary, read on for the Best Checkbook Wallets Online!
F&L Classic Vintage-Look Checkbook Wallet
Closed face dimensions: 6⅝ x 3⅝ inches, according to the seller.
RFID: advertised by the seller.
First up - this distressed leather wallet is oil tanned for durability and “feel”. This bifold wallet comes with nine card pockets, one ID window, and four larger pockets for bills or a checkbook. It’s a good size for a checkbook even with the rest of your wallet loaded up. This wallet is for the guy looking to keep it simple, but carry your checkbook in style.
Note that, like many of the wallets we review here, this is a wallet to carry a checkbook, not a checkbook cover. Read on for some more great options!
Checkbook Wallet by Leatherology
Current Windsor dimensions: 7.6 x 4.3 x 0.9 inches.
Simplicity at its best. Think of it as a perfect marriage of a reliable wallet and a checkbook holder. This wallet is for the banker in you, organized and ready. The current Windsor is a zip-around full-grain leather design with six card slots, a gusseted bill compartment, a hidden receipt pocket and two full-length compartments for a checkbook or bills. An inset pen slot keeps a pen handy.
It opens flat for check signing, and it might look simple, but it screams “I’ve got it together” every time you pull it out. It’s a bigger zipped design than the old slim checkbook wallets, so it’s more of a bag wallet than a pocket one. It also comes gift-boxed.
You can be flashy or you can be reliable, the choice is yours, but in our opinion, flashy should be reserved for your ties and socks, reliable for your wallet.
Combination Checkbook Wallet by Tony Perotti
Dimensions: 3.5 x 0.5 x 6.5 inches
This Italian leather wallet has a soft finish. This sleek and classy wallet fits easily into your breast pocket and can hold up to six credit cards. It also features receipt slots, an ID window and a checkbook holder. Stay comfortable and organized with this very luxurious addition to your wardrobe. The wallet is fully lined and expertly stitched, which is expected of anything that comes in a Tony Perotti gift box - this is truly a keeper of a wallet. Tony Perotti’s warranty covers production faults for two years.
Hemp Checkbook Wallet by Hempmania
Closed dimensions: 8 x 4.5 inches, according to Hempmania.
We all know hemp is friendly to the environment, but did you know it makes one of the sturdiest materials for an eco-friendly wallet? Hempmania uses 100% hemp canvas here, so it’s vegan-friendly too, with a fabric feel that’s very different from the polished leather of the others. It is designed to carry a checkbook and pen alongside your daily wallet items, with an outside zipped compartment for coins.
It’s a long one, so it’s more of a bag wallet than a pocket wallet. It’s also budget-friendly. What’s not to love?
Yoder Leather Company Checkbook Wallet
Closed dimensions: approximately 6.86 x 3.5 inches, according to the seller.
This beautiful, stylish “Cowhide Rodeo” Checkbook Wallet is made in the USA by Amish Craftsmen. It has six slots for credit cards on the right side with a pocket behind it for either your checkbook or cash. On the left side is another long pocket for either your cash or checkbook that you didn’t put on the right side.
It’s handcrafted from cowhide, with that rustic rodeo look and hand stitching made to last.
Italia Coat Pocket Wallet by Bosca
Dimensions: 3.75 x 6.5 x 0.25 inches (closed)
Hand-stained Italian leather; made in Italy.
A good quality sport coat is a must have for any professional. One thing you definitely shouldn’t have to worry about is a bulky wallet cramping your jacket’s style. The coat pocket wallet has you covered when coming to protecting your valuables and maintaining the classy blazer look. Its card pockets and four vertical stash pockets keep flat items organized without giving up the “slim factor”.
The old leather, distinct yet classic design, will be sure to impress your colleagues and friends. Made from vegetable-tanned Italian leather with a centuries-old Tuscan technique, it’s soft to the touch and exudes luxury. It arrives in high-end Bosca packaging, and you’ll be glad you swapped your old wallet for one built to last.
Checkbook Covers
We’ve focussed on wallets so far (not surprisingly), but if you’re not using a checkbook all the time and still want something stylish for when you do, a simple checkbook cover might be the right choice, perhaps paired with a more minimalist wallet.
This option from Leatherology is a perfect example. It fits standard top-tear checkbooks with a simple slot to “hook” the back of the checkbook into, as well as a register compartment. It comes in a range of colors and might be the perfect way to carry a checkbook without making it a daily commitment. (Check whether your checks tear from the top or the side before you order.)
That’s a Wrap
We hope you enjoyed the best checkbook wallets we’ve found. One day we suspect the checkbook will go the way of the Dodo, but we’re not there yet, thank goodness!
