5 Functional Reasons You Should Own a Leather Trifold Wallet

If you're someone who carries more than one credit card daily, then a high-quality, genuine, leather trifold wallet is an essential.

Wondering if you might need an upgrade? Here are a few signs: 

• You often need to carry cash
• You often use your credit cards
• You need to carry your ID at all times
• You need to carry other cards or documents

If you ticked any of the above boxes, you want a wallet capable of a bit more than your traditional bifold or cardholder. You need a trifold wallet.

Then again, not all trifold wallets can withstand the rigors of heavy use. Therefore, you need a trifold wallet with the functionality of a filing cabinet that’s tough enough to stand up to the strains of heavy use without breaking or coming apart at the seams.

Put simply, you need a high-quality leather trifold wallet, and here are five reasons why.

In addition to the leather used, the stitching is another crucial feature you’ll want to consider in your new genuine leather trifold wallet. It will determine how well your wallet will stand up to the rigors of life and, ultimately, how long it will serve you. 

When it comes to stitching, I always recommend hand-stitched leather over anything machine-sewn—it's beautiful and incredibly durable. 

For an heirloom-quality trifold wallet, source your wallet from a manufacturer that uses the saddle-stitch technique in their leatherwork. 

Saddle stitching is a traditional way of sewing leather that will last decades without ever fraying or unraveling.

This technique uses two needles, both attached to a single thread. The needles pass through the same hole to create a tight stitch that will not easily come undone (unlike machine stitching) even if the thread gets ripped.

At Popov Leather, our trifold wallets, like all our other products, are hand sewn using the saddle-stitch technique and Ritza 25 Tiger thread. In fact, leatherworking enthusiasts consider Popov Leather a torchbearer for the leatherwork tradition—a responsibility we proudly bear.

What is Ritza 25 Tiger Thread

This is a high-quality braided polyester thread that's flattened and waxed, making it super strong and perfect for hand sewing. Tiger thread is considered the best in the world for sewing leather.

A genuine leather trifold wallet provides you with the most storage capacity and efficiency of all wallets, so you never have to compromise what you carry. There's always room to bring everything you need. 

But this superior storage isn't just due to the fact that trifold wallets are bigger than traditional billfold wallets.

You might be surprised to learn that while trifold wallets are thicker, their design often makes them take up less space in your pocket. They achieve this incredible feat while holding 6–10 cards and still have enough room to keep your bills neat and straight.

For a better understanding, examine this quick table comparison of a traditional wallet and a Popov Leather Trifold Wallet:

At Popov Leather, we design our leather trifold wallets to be both spacious and compact. They’re the perfect wallet if you need to carry essential documents with you regularly and want easy access to them. 

Here are our leather trifold specs for your consideration:

• Four secure card slots that can fit at least two cards each 
• An ID slot that flips open and tucks away when not needed
• A wide billfold with enough room for 20 bills plus extra space for receipts
• A compact 3.45” x 4.45” x 0.75” when closed and 9.8” when fully open

Over the years, we've fine-tuned our design and have finally developed a trifold wallet that's functional enough to fit everything but the kitchen sink. What’s more, it’s still compact enough to fit your pocket comfortably.

Additionally, just like our wallets, our return policy puts the competition to shame. We offer:

• 90-day free returns for store credit

• 90-day returns for refund

• 90-day free exchanges

The most important thing to consider when selecting a genuine leather trifold wallet is whether it has the durability and functionality you need. 

As I’ve discussed, these qualities can be achieved only through the best quality materials and designs, and that's precisely what you get from Popov Leather's Trifold Wallet. 

Our wallets are made from full-grain Horween leather and are hand-sewn with Tiger thread for unrivaled durability. 

Beyond the world-class materials, we also employ a painstaking design that results in a stunning leather trifold wallet that doesn't waste space and has no unnecessary bulk.

The end product is a stunning trifold wallet with unmatched functionality—complete with that all-natural leather smell, guaranteed to stand up to life's rigors.
