The right card holder wallet should carry what you use every day without adding unnecessary bulk. Before choosing one, compare its profile, material, capacity, pocket fit, and whether you need RFID protection.
A slim card holder is best if you mainly carry payment cards, identification, and a few folded bills. It removes the extra layers and compartments found in a traditional bifold, making it more comfortable for front-pocket carry. A bifold may suit someone who carries more cash or receipts, but it will usually create a thicker pocket profile.
Material also matters. Full-grain leather retains the strongest part of the hide and develops a distinct patina with use. It is a strong choice for buyers who want a wallet that becomes more personal over time instead of looking worn after regular carry.
The Holden Card Wallet is Everyman’s featured option for minimalist everyday carry. It is made from 2mm, full-grain USA cowhide and uses a six-pocket design for cards, identification, and folded bills. The wallet measures 2.88 by 4.25 inches and weighs 1.8 ounces, giving it a compact profile designed for front-pocket use.
Choose the standard Holden if you want a straightforward, full-grain leather card holder with a slim profile. Choose the Oxblood Holden if RFID protection is important. The RFID-protected version retains the six-pocket format while adding protection against unauthorized contactless card scanning. It can accommodate more than 12 cards and cash, although carrying fewer items will preserve the slimmest possible profile.
For most buyers, the decision comes down to capacity and security. Select the standard Holden for simple everyday organization and traditional leather character. Select the RFID-protected Holden if you travel frequently or prefer additional protection for contactless cards. Browse the collection below to compare available colors, stitching, materials, and RFID options.

An EDC pen, short for everyday carry pen, is a pen designed to be carried daily and used anywhere. It typically combines a machined metal body, a reliable clip and a mechanism capable of handling pockets, keys and everyday drops. The test is simple: it is always with you, and it always writes.
A click mechanism is faster to operate with one hand, making it suitable for a pen you use constantly. A twist mechanism keeps the tip retracted until you open it, reducing the risk of marking a pocket, bag liner or phone screen. If your pen rides loose against other gear, a twist mechanism is the safer option.
The full-size Grafton accepts widely available refills, including the Pilot G2, alongside Everyman’s own ballpoint and metal gel refills. That matters for a pen you plan to keep because you can restock without hunting for proprietary cartridges.
Aluminum is lighter and maintains a more consistent finish over time. Brass is denser and gradually develops a natural patina that reflects how it has been carried and used. Choose aluminum if you prefer a lighter, cleaner-looking pen or brass if you prefer additional weight and a finish that develops character.
A practical everyday carry kit can pair a pen with a mechanical pencil, key tool and front-pocket wallet. This collection includes the Grafton mechanical pencil, Porter Key Multi-Tool 2.0, Ballard bottle opener, Cowan carabiners and Cable Key Rings. The Holden wallet is available in the wallet collection.
