I did more research on buying a wallet for someone that had a bi-fold wallet. I know he likes to be a minimalist, so I was uncertain about the tri-fold wallet. I looked at all the reviews, especially the negative ones and found this one had no ratings below a 3 star. I looked at construction as well as function and after much deliberation bought this one. (The other was the Nautica, but someone complained that the metal name tag caused irritation in their pocket and having to cut it out of the leather to prevent it from doing so thus damaging the wallet).
We exchanged gifts early this year and I watched him excitedly put everything fro his old bi-fold into the new tri-fold. (his old wallet was so worn the cards would just fall out if you didn't open it carefully) and I noticed the money overlapped the edge. The Kenneth Cole does have extra space to hide the money well and could hold larger checks with confidence. The card slots were perfect for fitting in his credit and other cards, not too tight not in any way loose. He loves having his license in the middle clear slot. It is incredibly functional and stays almost just as slim from the box filled with the stuff from his old wallet. All in all I am incredibly happy with having purchased this for him as he has told me a few times how much he really likes it since he has used it and doesn't notice it in his pocket when he sits down. He is a small man so that is huge. I would say this is a great gift and I am very happy with it's purchase.
