We were mentioned on the Bonobos blog. If you are not familiar with Bonobos, they make “better fitting and better looking pants.” Quick frankly, they could be the best fitting pants on the planet. Evidently, Slimmy is exclusively used by their graphic and user-interface designer, Brad Smith.
If you are upgrading to Bonobos or some other great fitting pants then “86 the butt brick” and get a Slimmy.
“The Slimmy series is one of the more popular minimalist wallet choices out there. Its selling point is how exceptionally thin it is. It’s not a tri-fold or even a bi-fold, it’s a front pocket wallet meaning it’s thin enough that its meant to be put in your front pocket, reducing risk of back pain resulting from an off-balanced seating posture.”
We will have reviews available soon for all Slimmy wallets. In the meantime, you can always go to Amazon.com and Koyono.com to see what customers are saying about Slimmy products. Here are just a few of the thousands that people generously took time to leave:

I’ve had my Slimmy (std. size) about two years and it is the best wallet I’ve ever had. (Previous wallets were always Coach single-folds with 6-8 card slots, all full.)
My Slimmy has only minor wear after daily use, usually in the front pocket of jeans or shorts. The wallet also fits perfectly in the front pocket of my dress shirts.
Usual contents: 10-20 bills folded in half, the day’s credit card receipts; two credit cards; driver’s license, health insurance card, dental card, auto insurance card…
I’ve owned this wallet for almost 3 years now. I have it with me almost always. I don’t think I’m particularly rough, however I wore out a phone that I kept in my other front pocket in about a year. This wallet has held up very well, it’s got some minor wear and tear, but the functionality is undiminished and I wouldn’t be surprised if this lasted me several more years. And in that time I’ve had no issues with items falling out of the wallet.
Also, I keep my credit card and atm card next to each other and I’ve had no issues with the magnetic strips not working.
Just because most negative reviewers seem to miss this, it is not a typical wallet…

I was looking to trim the fat from my old bulky bi-fold and came across the Slimmy. It’s a well constructed wallet and holds all the essentials. Carrying years worth of receipts, ticket stubs and other miscellaneous junk is a thing of the past now…
Check it out. Here is a review by Gear Journal. It’s great because it demos how cards don’t just fall out of the Slimmy as claimed by some people. Thanks for the review!
