The dad with an overstuffed bifold and a habit of sitting on it. Not the one who still carries a chequebook, a stack of receipts and every loyalty card ever issued, because 14 cards is the limit. Allow three weeks or more for delivery from the US.
What it is
Ekster’s flagship smart wallet in black Vachetta leather. A metal button fans the cards out, the flap closes with a metal stud, and it holds 1 to 14 cards plus folded notes with RFID blocking built in. Lifetime warranty. Ships from the United States.
Why we picked it
Plenty of dads carry a wallet that was a gift fifteen years ago and is now twice as thick as it needs to be. This is the upgrade that gets noticed every single day: press the button and the cards step out in order, so the one at the bottom is no longer a dig. It is slim enough for a front pocket, and the leather is the sort that looks better in five years than it does in the box.
