Plain, minimal, and Classico's smaller brother. Poler is a classic-size bifold
leather wallet for men. Wave-form dividers across both inner panels give it 6 card slots and a
full-length cash compartment. Made in brown and black.
Bifold Genuine Leather Men's Wallet Features
Wave-form card slots
Both inner panels carry 3 card slots each behind wave-form dividers, so there are
6 slots in total. The wave cut leaves the top of each card exposed: you choose the
one you want by looking rather than by pulling cards out one at a time. That comes to
6 to 8 cards.
A full-length cash compartment
The cash compartment runs the full length of the wallet, so you lay a bill in
unfolded. When you close the wallet, the note folds along with it. You are not
folding cash by hand and you are not fighting a half-length pocket.
Your name on it, if you want
Name embossing is free. You give the name when you place the order. If it is a
gift, the wallet comes out of the box with their name already pressed into the leather.
Poler Wallet Dimensions and Material
Poler is made in brown and black and measures 3.9" x 3.5" (10 x 9 cm) closed,
which is a compact classic size for a back or chest pocket. There are wave-form dividers across the
card slots and contrast stitching along the edge. The surface is smooth in the first days and
improves with use; because it is never sanded down, every Poler carries the grain of the hide it
came from.
Full-grain leather: the topmost, densest-fibered layer of the hide, its surface
never sanded or thinned. Over the years it darkens rather than wears out, and the small scratches
of daily use largely disappear when you rub them with a finger.

What Fits in the Poler?
- Cards: 6 to 8 across 6 wave-form slots
- Bills: in the full-length compartment, laid in unfolded
- ID and driver's license: in the card slots
- Coins: none
An honest limit: Poler is a classic-size bifold, not an ultra-slim card holder.
Full-grain leather has body, so it will feel fuller in the hand than you expect from the
dimensions, and past 8 cards the slots strain. There is also
no coin pocket. If you want something that leaves no outline in a pocket at all,
Colt or Neva are the flat card holders.
For a coin pocket, Colin has a snapped one.
How to Pair the Poler
-
Suit and office: the brown against a navy or grey suit gives you a contrast
when you take it out of an inside jacket pocket.
-
Every day: the black disappears against dark trousers and reads more formal,
which is the difference between the two colors rather than a difference in build.
-
The Semender pairing: use Poler with
Fieldbag or Roadbag for the rest
of the day.
Poler Wallet Care
- The leather darkens and gains character over time. That is not a flaw, it is patina
- Wipe it with a dry cloth once a month and apply leather balm a few times a year
- Empty out the receipts. Paper stretches the cash compartment and it does not tighten back
- If it gets wet, let it dry on its own at room temperature. Radiators and hair dryers stiffen
leather
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Poler and Classico?
Size and how the cards sit. Classico is the larger classic bifold at 4.3" x 3.7" with six plain card pockets. Poler is more compact at 3.9" x 3.5" and uses wave-form dividers, so the top of each card stays visible. Same capacity, different footprint.
Do bills lie flat in it?
You lay them in unfolded and the wallet folds them as it closes. The cash compartment runs the full length rather than stopping halfway, which is why you are not folding notes by hand before they go in. They come out with a single clean crease.
How many cards does it hold?
Six to eight across six slots, three on each inner panel. Past eight the slots strain and the bifold stops closing flat. The wave-form dividers are there so you can see the tops of the cards instead of fanning through them.
Is it slim?
It is compact at 3.9" x 3.5" (10 x 9 cm) closed, but full-grain leather at 1.2 to 1.3 mm has body, so it feels more substantial in the hand than the measurements suggest. For a wallet that leaves no outline in a pocket, a flat card holder like Colt is the right shape.
Is there a coin pocket?
No. Poler is cards and cash only, and coins pushed into a card slot will misshape it. If you carry change every day, Colin has a snapped coin pocket and Zeno has a zipped one.
Can I have my name embossed on it?
Yes, and it is free. You give the name when you place the order and it is pressed into the leather rather than printed on top, so it ages with the surface. Note that a personalized wallet cannot be returned for a change of mind.
Poler is what a wallet looks like when nothing has been added to it for the sake of it.
