Voodoo Studio Chester Mox Wallets – $55.00 – $160.00
UPDATE: Looks like Voodoo Studio recently re-branded themselves as “Chester Mox”
Full marks to reader Robert V. for sending in the style tip about these guys.
Based out of Los Angeles, Voodoo Studio appears to be one of those small companies that makes drool-worthy leather goods at oddly affordable prices. And thanks to the magic of the internets, we now know about them.
$55 for a wallet? You can easily spend that at a department store on an above average looking billfold. And these are made in the U.S. from Leather produced by the Horween Leather Company.

For the most of us: Horizontal Flap Closure Wallet in Tan – $58.00
..
For those who want to splurge: Shell Cordovan Wiry Flap Wallet in Black – $160.00
Not everyone will be thrilled with the flap style, and the least expensive options look a little bulky online. The descriptions do claim they’re “still slim enough to fit easily in your back pocket, side pocket, or inner jacket pocket.” For those that prefer an ultra slim angle wallet or card case, they have those too starting at $35.00.
Full catalog over here. Plenty of color options available. Might make a nice Father’s Day or Graduation gift. Their website states each wallet is made to order and ships out within 5-7 business days.
Those are stunning.
Word. And Made in the USA.
These look a lot like Makr products (www.makr.com), but for a lower price point, I won’t complain.
Corter Leather http://corterleather.bigcartel.com do some great wallets in the same price range.
For $30 cheaper than the flap wallet posted, I’d go with Saddleback Leather Co.’s small wallet (http://goo.gl/ql2Yu). But I kind of have a fascination with everything those guys make.
I feel like I’m getting mixed signals here. First you tell us we need to ditch our wallets and opt for the slimmer money clip option – now you flash these bulky-looking (but handsome) wallets at us.
Sheesh, Joe, make up your mind already 😉
Yep, they are EXACTLY like them. I have the Makr flap wallet, definitely keeping it for years to come.
Looking over Voodoos stock pictures, some of their cuts and painted edges look a bit jagged and sloppy, but maybe thats just me.
I gotta keep you guys on your toes! (I carry a wallet most of the time. But suited up I’m moneyclip/card case.)
Tanner Goods (http://www.tannergoods.com) out of Portland, Oregon is another one of those small companies that makes drool-worthy leather goods at oddly affordable prices.
I second this. I bought the angle wallet. So slim and nice, and at $80 it feels like a little bit of luxury.
Not quite as affordable, but still a wonderful blend of leather wallet and money clip (only a blend because it is awesomely slim). I had posted this on the forums. Made from one thin piece of Italian leather, handcrafted in NY. Currently sold out, but some of the best $80 I’ve ever spent.

i guess I’m alone in that I really like some of their other offerings, but really not feeling this mini-man-purse flap over thing
Definitely have to agree. I wouldn’t mind seeing a run down of some different wallet options out there for people who like to keep their wallet as slim as possible while still holding all of the essentials.
I have the angle wallet from them and its really slim and can hold about 8 cards. I’m def. a card case kind of guy and couldnt be happier with it. I agree that the flap makes it overly thick for most people though lol
What I’d love to find is a super-slim leather number that would hold my phone two or three credit cards, and room for a few bills. Dream come true.
I am not sure if I could use a horse leather wallet… I think I will stick with the Saddleback option.
Every time I go to buy a wallet–because man, these do look pretty slick–I look at the binder clip I presently use and think, “if this breaks, I just reach in the drawer and grab another one for free.” Stylish, no. Minimalist slim wallet, yes.
Makr and Saddleback both make great products. I’ve used both and you can’t go wrong with either. It’s just what your preference is.
