I am no fan of minimalist or slim/compact wallets, but for years I have had a thick bifold leather wallet that eats credit cards (by bending them and gradually cracking them with time and use). With the new chip cards being a lot more difficult to just stop into my CU and replace, that had to come to an end. I shopped like crazy for a couple of years (!) to find an affordable leather wallet that would hold as much content, but which wouldn't put the cards in a prone position for bending or have some other compromise (like a lack of a driver's license window). Nothing seemed to be out there. Finally decided to try the Vanguard Limited as a stopgap while I found something else, and... whaddaya know, I really like it.I keep my DL in one window pocket, my primary debit card in the other, and my various stacks of other cards in the pockets behind the windows. The Vanguard Limited definitely does not hold as much as my old wallet did - I am maxed out at about 12-14 cards, and I've had to give up on things like keeping a couple of guitar picks and a "wallet multitool" in there - but stacking the cards directly on top of each other keeps the cards in terrific shape. I have had no bending or wear of any of my cards in the several months I've been using this wallet, by which time my old wallet would have already created hairline cracks in several cards and friction marks on all of them. The Vanguard itself is holding up well after several months with all this content, and although I am a back-pocket hardliner I'll admit that it's nice that it's so thin, as I can easily throw it into my front pocket (even with my equally ridiculous collection of keys) when I'm not feeling super secure in a given area or crowded space.The biggest complaint I have is organization with this few pockets to choose from; it often takes me a few moments to find the credit card or membership card or whatever that I'm looking for. I knew this would be an issue going in, but I'll take that for now over having to constantly replace worn-out cards."Made in USA" and "priced affordably" were the two things (in addition to the directly-stacked card layout) that got me to give this a go, and for the most part I'm very glad I did. If they made a version of this with two windows and four pockets instead of two (like two add'l pockets parallel to the "main" pockets and sewn into the inside of the cash holder), I would buy it immediately.Great wallet! Nice and thin, perfect for front-pocket carry.Outer material seems very tough; I'm hoping it's more durable than the last sailcloth wallet (different brand) I had.This wallet has a cash pocket that fits American currency. Anything taller or wider than American currency will need to be folded.There are four credit card sized slots, two on each side slightly offset from each other (so it's easy to remove the cards from the slots underneath). The top card on each side is visible through clear plastic. One of the reasons I chose this particular wallet was for the way the credit card slots are oriented; cards slide in horizontally from the "spine" of the wallet, rather than vertically from the top. I've lost cards out of wallets in the past that had the card slots openings towards the top. (In other words, when this wallet is closed it's impossible for cards to fall out).As seen in the pictures there is no exterior branding. On the interior there is a small cloth label sewn on, one side says "Flowfold" and the other says "MADE IN USA Carry the future".The sailcloth these wallets are made out of is reinforced, that's the diamond pattern visible in the pictures (much more visible in the pictures of the light-colored wallets). It's sort of cool, but I chose black and in the black it's only visible at certain angles. You can feel it within the cloth, but it's subtle.I have no trouble putting this in or taking this out of my pocket. The material is more slippery than any leather wallet, but not nearly as slippery as my previous sailcloth wallet. It stays put in my pocket, it's not slick enough to slip out on its own.Some sailcloth wallets make a crinkle sound when handled and opened, like paper being crumpled. This wallet is fairly quiet. Not silent like a leather wallet, but it doesn't crinkle.At the time of this review my wallet currently holds my driver's license, a credit card, 5 more cards the same thickness as a credit card, and $27 (a ten, two fives, and seven ones). It's fairly thin despite how much I have in it, definitely thinner than any leather billfold! (Side note: I wouldn't carry cash at all if it weren't for gas stations giving a discount for using cash instead of cards. Stupid gas stations, cash is so last century.)edit: Two years and a few months later, my Flowfold Vanguard looks almost the same as the day it arrived. Really the only sign of use is a slight bend on the corners from carrying it in my pocket. Attached are pictures.I am very impressed with how well my wallet has held up that I just bought the RFID blocking version: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071X32BHBI was looking for a minimalist wallet for my needs for years when I finally came across these Flowfold offerings. I picked one up in May 2018 and have been using it ever since. I'm posting this review in Sept 2019 and for the last year plus I have carried my work ID badge in my wallet to badge through secure doors, and I'm always on the move at the office which means the wallet comes in and out of my pocket dozens of times per day every day and is slapped across all manor of hard plastic textured card readers. I carry it in my front pocket along with keys and a rough textured tactical folding knife in one pocket or a surefire anodized aluminum rough textured flashlight in the other..My previous wallet was a thick heavy duty cordura nylon trifold that I love but want to be thinner, and unfortunately that company doesn't offer it in a bifold so I gave the Flowfold a chance. I was initially skeptical as the Flowfold material was a lot thinner and lighter than I was expecting, but as you can see from the pics I posted the wallet has held up amazingly well. Not just the materials, the stitching and constriction of the wallet haven't missed a beat either. I've averaged between 10 and 15 cards in the card pockets and they still hold the cards securely..After a year of really really hard use there's only one tiny spot where you can see the material has been rubbed on, and the color hasn't even faded. My only complaint is that I bought a black wallet and I keep loosing it on the many black surfaces at my house and at work, so I'm going to buy another one in a more easy to find color. I give it my highest recommendation.
