Nomad Wallet Slim Tile Brown Leather

Product Information

Even though NOMAD is known to release some of the most rugged products, you will not find any difference in durability compared to other leather products. When I got into onebag travel, the TOM BIHN Nik's Minimalist Wallet was the first I took to, but I ultimately settled on the Aer Cardholder. After a good run, I'm ready to move on to the NOMAD Slim Wallet. Alex Kwa, hoarder of wallets. Thermoformed Leather: Our signature Horween leather is bonded to a thin layer of reinforcing fabric and then molded into shape using intense heat and pressure. This thermoforming process creates space to store your cards without requiring the leather to stretch out, keeping your cards securely in place and your wallet looking new for longer. In front of that slot is another slot, but with a cut-out at the corner to allow you to pull out the card easily. While the corner cutout was meant for easy access, it's ironic that this slot was a tight fit because of the extra elastic cutout in the slot behind it. It is harder to pull your card out of this slot than the other slots. Durability

In the post about the new wallets, I spent a fair amount of time on Nomad’s use of “Thermoformed leather” to mold and shape the wallets. The result is a soft curve as the leather approaches the seams. It looks and feels nice, but I suspect it has the added advantage of increasing the wallet’s strength while still allowing the leather to stretch just enough to hold the cards securely in place. The soft curves are unlike anything I’ve seen on a leather wallet, and I appreciate Nomad taking this extra step when designing the products. So much so that, even though the same amount of material is used for both, the Shell Cordovan Wallet appears to be smaller because it doesn't bend as much at the fold. Unless you are a leather aficionado that truly appreciates the beauty and longevity of shell cordovan and has extra cash lying around, the Slim Wallet would be the reasonable choice for most. ConclusionHORWEEN, founded in 1905, is one of the oldest running tanneries in America. If you know anything about the leather world, HORWEEN is the name to drop for leather products, similar to brands like GORETEX, Cordura, or YKK. Simply using materials from HORWEEN, in itself, is a selling point. Usage Do you like to have your ID easily visible in a clear window? Do you carry a lot of cash? Are you more of a minimalist, or do you want to carry everything? These are some of the most important questions to ask yourself when shopping for a smart wallet. Don't get me wrong. I couldn't care less about what the guy next to me thinks when he sees my wallet. It has to look good to me. How I feel when I see the objects around me is what matters. Therefore, it's only natural that I want to surround myself with only the most beautiful objects I can find. Capacity Nomad’s “Card for AirTag” helps the AirTag fit comfortably in traditional wallets. Samuel Polay / Input

I found a 100 year old company that would create these heirloom quality canisters for me. They are handmade and will keep your tea leaves, coffee beans or anything that you need dry for years to come. Both of our leather options are naturally and minimally treated and will therefore easily scuff and mark within the first weeks days of use. With time, scuffs and marks will buff out into a rich and lustrous patina. If you’re after an authentic leather patina that evolves with time, this is absolutely the wallet for you.

As someone who wishes to experience travel without babying my belongings, I abuse my travel gear in various ways. Some cards are used more than others; therefore, being able to access them easily is important. In my case, it's my credit card.
