All-Ett vs The Big Skinny Review (Slim Men’s Leather Wallets Review)
Yay! My new wallet from The Big Skinny came in the mail today. I’ve been on the search for a new wallet to replace my old one for a long time because I felt that it was just too thick.

The search was made more difficult because I had a certain set of criteria that I was looking out for. Namely, the new wallet must be:
- Super thin / slim
- Look good and presentable with any kind of attire
- Preferably compartmentalised
- Have a convenient compartment for cash notes
For that reason, I decided that I had to get a leather wallet, and the wallet should have a full-sized compartment for holding cash. None of those money clips because I think a little privacy is good, and none of those half-sized pockets that require you to fold your cash, because I don’t like fumbling with cash while I’m trying to make payment or collect change.

Well, so I shortlisted my choices to finally between either the All-Ett (Check out the choices available here ), or the Big Skinny. I made my ultimate decision the Big Skinny because it released a leather version just as I was about to buy.

This choice of leather turned out to be a bad idea because leather is inherent thicker, which actually goes against my first criteria (that the wallet must be super thin / slim). So the Big Skinny turned out to be just marginally slimmer than my original leather wallet.

Perhaps I should have chosen the All-Ett (Check out the choices available here ) or the original version of the Big Skinny wallet instead.

My last wall was the jimi. It worked well for a while, but the limited bill space becomes annoying when receiving change. I eventually transitioned to only carrying the slide out ID clip.
I reviewed the Big Skinny and the All-ett, eventually settling on the Euro-Leather All-Ett.
Great decision. It is 10 times thinner then my last traditional wallet and the black leather shell is classy enough for any occasion.
I’m just waiting for them to come out with one in brown.
