Forrest & Harold Wallet Review

We finally got our hands on a few of the wallets from Forrest & Harold! To say we were impressed would be an understatement. These guys really get it. Their wallet line combines quality materials, clever functionality and colorful design. This isn’t your grandpa’s wallet (although he might actually like using one).

Review of the Forrest & Harold Wallet Line

No one wants a big, bulky wallet taking up space in your back pocket. And who really enjoys having to sit on a thick wallet filled with a bunch of cards that you probably don’t even use on a regular basis. After weeding through the unnecessary items and hanging on only to the important ones, finding a slimmer, more compact wallet was a must.

When you’re in the market for a new wallet, there are several things to consider. Price, functionality, and design are all important, and you should not have to sacrifice on any of them. Forrest & Harold have produced a line of affordable wallets that are stylish and functional. They have several items available to meet the needs of any minimalist. We were able to review four of them.

SLIM RFID MONEY CLIP WALLET IN TOP GRAIN LEATHER

This wallet is perfect for the minimalist in search of something better than the standard, bulky old wallet. Who wants to take up all that space anymore? The functionality and stylish design make it a great wallet choice for men of all ages.

• The Signature Money Clip Wallet measures 4.25 by 2.75 inches and is rated for 4–8 cards and up to 12 bills. Its pockets are snug, holding your cards securely in place until you need them. The stainless steel clip is removable if you prefer carrying cards alone.

• The two-tone, handcrafted top-grain leather is the visual draw. There are several color combinations to choose from, so it can be as individual as its owner. People will notice it when you pull it out to pay.

• It includes RFID shielding for compatible cards in the protected pockets.

• The tight stitching and leather finish are superb. Slide it in a pocket and you barely know it’s there. Gone are the days of the bulky, overstuffed wallet!

SLIM RFID BIFOLD WALLET IN TOP GRAIN LEATHER

When you need something to carry around your basic debit and credit cards and just a little bit of cash, you don’t want something big and bulky to have to stick in your pocket. This bifold is a great choice for storing those items in a useful way that still looks classy — it’s an easy transition from a traditional leather wallet.

• Top-grain leather with contrast stitching and a suede-lined cash sleeve. The bifold measures 3 by 4 inches closed, with two interior card pockets and one exterior pocket for up to six cards altogether.

• Slim profile, but as with the other wallets in this line, comes with RFID protection as standard.

• Available in several color combinations, from understated black to brighter two-tone options. The color combinations definitely draw compliments.

RFID MINIMALIST SLEEVE IN TOP GRAIN LEATHER

If you really want to carry around only the basic necessities in an easy to access space, then the RFID minimalist sleeve is exactly what you need. This is the slimmest wallet option offered by Forrest & Harold, and it’s about as convenient as a wallet gets.

• Both sides feature pockets that are perfect for holding ID cards, debit cards, or credit cards. The maker describes two outer slots for one card each and an inner pocket for two cards. A little folded cash can share that central pocket if you carry fewer cards. The pockets are slanted to make it easier to get items in and out.

• The sleeve is made from the same high quality top grain leather that is loved in so many other Forrest & Harold wallet options. It comes in several different color combinations to fit your own personal style.

• But let’s talk about the best part! It’s so slim you can fit it just about anywhere: front pocket, back pocket, even a shirt pocket. Perfect for a night out with just an ID and a card.

• And it has the same RFID shielding as the rest of the line.

PASSPORT WALLET IN TOP GRAIN LEATHER

When you are traveling, you want something that is going to hold up and is going to hold on to all of your belongings. The Forrest & Harold Passport Wallet is an excellent choice for those times.

• The passport wallet measures 4 by 6 inches closed. That’s easy to carry, but there’s room for everything you need to get from point A to point B. You’ll be surprised how much it holds!

• Four card slots on the left can hold up to eight cards. Behind them is a full-height pocket for cash and travel papers. The right-hand pocket holds a passport or a small notebook; a notebook isn’t included.

• Cognac/rust and black/grey give you a choice between warm leather tones and a more restrained look. The phenomenal stitching tells you it’ll last for years, and the top-grain leather keeps it in the same family as the smaller wallets.

About Forrest & Harold

From the time Forrest & Harold first began, they have worked hard to meet the high expectations of their customers — and potential customers. They wanted to change the basic wallet — carried by the majority of men out of habit or necessity more than out of want — into something that guys would be proud to carry around. They wanted to create something a little more eye-catching.

Who is really that passionate about a wallet? These guys are! They pay attention to every detail that goes into the design and the construction of all of their wallet styles. They understand the need for enough space without adding too much bulk.

If all of this isn’t enough to convince you, listen to this! The two-year warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from purchase. Normal wear, neglect, unreasonable use, and lost or stolen items are excluded. A covered claim receives a replacement, or store credit for the original purchase amount if that style or color is unavailable.

Forrest & Harold set out to create a simpler wallet for a simpler life, and that’s exactly what they’ve done. A little ambition and a little wallet sure can go a long way.
