Without further ado, here are the best bifold wallets for guys, with options from all around the world.

Their minimalist bifold wallet is available in 10 colors and comes with six card slots and two slip pockets.
Harber London Bifold Wallet
A classic bifold that’s super slim thanks to a thinner lining, Harber London’s Bifold Wallet is also equipped with RFID-blocking protection.
It’s handcrafted in Spain from Harber London’s signature full-grain leather, which gives it a supple feel.

Meticulously geometric edges give Stuart and Lau’s Slim Bifold Wallet a unique look, while the rich Italian leather gives it an excellent feel.
The simple yet elegant design is straightforward and eye-catching.
Saddleback Full Grain Leather Bifold Wallet
Built to last and larger than many of the slim wallets on this list, Saddleback’s Full Grain Leather Bifold Wallet is a heritage-quality piece made from top-quality leather.
Its curved card slots make it much easier to see your cards and slide them in and out at a moment’s notice.

Dango D01 Dapper Bifold Wallet
Now here’s a unique bifold. Dango’s metal-framed D01 wallets toe the line between a minimalist metal wallet and a traditional leather bifold, giving the best of both worlds.
It can hold up to 12 cards in its folds, and a silicone cash strap gives further carrying capacity.
Leatherology Thin Bifold Wallet
Exceptionally thin yet still in a traditional bifold wallet style, Leatherology’s Thin Bifold Wallet is another option for guys who want a minimalist wallet without losing bifold functionality.
It can easily carry six cards and a handful of bills and has two interior pockets in case you also need to carry coins or a hidden bit of cash.
WP Standard Bifold Wallet
Though lesser known than their other leather brand counterparts, WP Standard makes some seriously high-quality leather goods and accessories.
Their Standard Bifold Wallet is an absolute steal at just 50 bucks.
Ashland Leather Bugs Moran Wallet
Horween shell cordovan leather is legendary for its quality, durability, and finely polished appearance — as well as its top-dollar price tag.
Ashland Leather puts it to great use in their Bugs Moran Wallet, which comes with a lifetime guarantee to match its higher cost.
Nomad Goods Horween Leather Wallet
Another bifold made with Chicago-famous Horween leather, Nomad Goods’ Horween Leather Wallet is offered at a more reasonable price than many others.
It’s one of the larger wallets on this list, capable of holding up to 15 cards comfortably.
Popov Leather Wallet
Popov’s particular brand of handmade leather goods has a rugged look and feel that I love. Their Leather Wallet is a perfect example of the style, unbranded and simply designed.
They run sales quite often as well, so you can find a great deal on their wallets if you’re willing to wait a little bit.
Buffalo Jackson Jefferson Bifold Wallet
Using a unique leather weaving technique, Buffalo Jackson adds a real touch of class to their Jefferson Bifold Wallet.
That shows off the texture and shine of the full-grain leather build and gives a beautiful exterior to complement the functional interior.
Bosca Small Bifold Wallet
Crisp edges and hand-stitched construction give Bosca’s Small Bifold Wallet lovely and refined lines, but their signature richly stained leather really makes it shine — literally and figuratively.
Six card slots and two vertical stash pockets give it just enough room for your essential cards and cash.
Carhartt Nylon Bifold Wallet
Affordable and durable: That’s the Carhartt brand in a nutshell, and it’s especially true of their Nylon Bifold Wallet as well.
For less than 40 bucks, this is a wallet that will last you a lifetime (and then some).
Herschel Supply Co. Roy Wallet
Want a wallet that’s as good for you as it is for the environment? Check out Herschel Supply Co.’s Roy Wallet, made entirely from recycled materials.
It’s then given a weather-resistant coating for good measure, making it a great everyday carry bifold.
Sprocket Nylon Bifold Wallet
A super-tough nylon wallet for under 20 dollars? You bet.
What Sprocket’s Nylon Bifold Wallet lacks in looks, it makes up for in extreme versatility, functionality, and durability. As a minimalist wallet, it is not cheap, but it will keep all your cash, cards, and coins right where you need them.
Kamino Slim Bifold Wallet
The Japanese-made Kamino Slim Bifold Wallet is unlike any other that you’ll find. It’s ultralight and exceptionally slim, entirely eco-friendly, and even machine washable.
If you’re looking for something unique to carry your cards and cash, this is it.
Ganzo Shell Cordovan Bifold Wallet
This Rolls Royce of bifold wallets is made in Japan from the legendary Horween Shell Cordovan leather.
It is without a doubt the most expensive wallet you’ll find, but its handsome looks speak for themselves.
Postalco Mini Wallet
A compact and stylish wallet meant just for your essentials, the Postalco Mini is a refined take on a zippered storage wallet.
All four of its color options are gorgeous, owing to the brand’s unique leather dying process.

Made in Scandinavia from Scandinavian-sourced leather, Sandqvist Manfred Wallet is a lovely example of Nordic design sensibilities.
It’s a rather slim and minimalist wallet, with six card slots and two interior pockets in addition to its single full-length bill sleeve.
Secrid Slimwallet
Halfway between a metal wallet and a traditional bifold lies Secrid’s Slimwallet.
It’s also halfway between a bifold and a trifold wallet, but I’ve included it here because it’s still the size and shape of a traditional bifold, just with a bit more internal storage space.
Aarni Wood Elk Leather Wallet
Finnish elk leather is the material of choice for this wallet from Aarni Wood, giving it a uniquely textured look and feel.
Two large bill pockets are accompanied by six card slots and a magnetic-closure pocket for carrying coins as well.
