Why this gift works

The Ridge Wallet in Aluminum Gunmetal is two anodized 6061-T6 aluminum plates held together by elastic, 86 by 54 by 6 mm - about the size of a card. It holds 1 to 12 cards, the plates block RFID, and cash rides on an outside money clip that can be swapped for a cash strap. Ridge covers it with its Built for Life warranty.

It is the upgrade for a brother whose bifold has grown into a brick: it forces a clear-out, fits a front pocket and is built to last. It is a gift he will carry every single day.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A brother with a bulging bifold
  • Travel days
  • A graduation or new job

Think twice if

  • He carries lots of cash
  • He prefers a leather wallet

The catch

It holds 12 cards at most, cash sits outside on the clip with no bill pocket, and it costs a lot for a card wallet. Ridge sells more than one Gunmetal version, so check the listing says aluminum rather than the pricier titanium.

Skip if he carries lots of cash, receipts or more than a dozen cards.

  • RFID blocking
  • Swappable clip or strap

What to look for in a slim wallet

  • Capacity. Count the cards he really carries.
  • Cash. A clip suits a few bills; a strap or pocket suits more.
  • Material. Aluminum is light; titanium is tougher and costs more.

Questions people ask

1 to 12, per Ridge.
