The stitching on this line of wallets is insane. The first stitch down the side is the easiest because the leather just folds away. The bottom stitch is really difficult and fiddly since you are pushing a needle down. The last side is by far the toughest. Really. Trying to align a needle in a small space that you cannot see? Nate is a real genius with this design of the folded up sides and the middle 'floating' dividers stitched at the bottom. This design gives the large interior space without making the wallet too wide. Brilliant. Thanks Mark. Thanks Nate. Keep it up!

I have been carrying mine for the last 3 months, same leather as yours (just now much darker due to patina), with black stiching - truly a fantastic wallet. I usualy use the back pocket for "cash wrap" and normally have 5-6 bills in there (5, 10, 20 euro notes fits just fine, just like you showed, 50 and 100 must be folded at least once) with a few bussines cards. In the middle pocket I usually have 6-8 cards, and my work/ID card/pass I keep in the first pocket - I was usually keeping that card in the quick access slot, but then I realised that it can be used in the first pocket without opening the "flap" as long as it is the top card in the pocket.

Thanks again for your informative reviews Mark. The key to this one for me is the cash wrap feature. I like the billfold ability to fan through all cash without removing the cash…but have moved on from billfolds. This appears to solve that problem. I don’t own one (yet), but I would think you could fan the cash and remove any bill you choose - unless adjacent bills come out when you extract one. I love the compactness of front pocket wallets, but hate the fact you have to remove (and expose) all your folded cash to select a bill. Plus you have to do something with the wallet while both hands are dealing with the cash. I want billfold functionality in a card wallet format. May have to get one.

I humbly ask u to Please forgive me if you in fact did mention it in the video.. How about putting leather color in the description also. I know you mentioned "Light Honey" and "Cafe" were the 2 colors in your last review of the Lucias JJ Leathersmith. Much appreciated.

I have the Big Finn and the Luxe Quick Access wallet. I found the Big Finn to have a much bigger capacity due to the stiching on the side. Also, you can go from more cards to fewer cards with no problems as the leather doesn't need to expand, so it will not contract. The Luxe Quick Access is wider meaning it can fit all currency without any customization but the slots for holding cards will expand if you load them with cards which potentially causes problems if you reduce the number of cards you carry. They are both great wallets though and I am glad I bought both.

I have both as well. The Luxe has 2 advantages over the Big Finn: the width and the quick access pocket. The width allows you to put foreign currency without having to modify the wallet. The quick access pocket is an actual pocket which is much more secure than The Big Finns quick access slot. The Big Finn can definitely carry more: I recently put 40 banknotes in mine and it just swallowed them up. The Luxe can also take 40 banknotes but it starts to bend and makes access to cards a bit more tricky.

While you may prefer a separate pocket, there's no evidence that I've seen where a pocket is more secure than a slot.

I've had both wallets since last year and I've tested them to see which one holds the quick access card more securely and the Luxe Quick access pocket does hold it more securely because it keeps the card in place much tighter. Put a card in your Big Finn quick access slot, hold the wallet upside down, give it a vigorous shake and see what happens. Do you actually own both wallets ?

Couple of times I used the quick acces slot to drop few coins in the back pocket, it was easy to drop them in, problem comes when you try to get them - you open the flap and turn the wallet to let them slide out but in most cases they with end up stuck on the quick access opening or just fall out of it. If you use coins often I would suggest keeping them in the first pocket.
