The Lieutenant Wallet - Combat Leather Edition is a rugged, traditional bifold engineered to carry unfolded bills. Handmade in America from genuine repurposed US military combat boot leather, it is tough, full of character, and only gets better with age. The longer design lets cash ride flat without folding, edged with 1" Mil-Spec binding and lined with 1000D Cordura -- built more like mission-ready gear than a piece of fashion.

Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my bills fit flat inside?

Yes. The wallet is slightly longer than most bifolds, so your bills fit flat without folding. Holds up to 20 unfolded bills.

How many cards does it hold?

4 to 12 cards comfortably, in four lengthwise slots (two on each side), keeping your essentials organized and secure.

How durable is this wallet?

Extremely. Genuine repurposed US military combat boot leather is built to survive deployments, not desk drawers. Paired with a 1000D Cordura® lining and double-stitched with heavy-duty T-70 nylon thread, this wallet is made to outlast its owner.

Will my wallet look exactly like the photo?

No two are the same. Each wallet is cut from repurposed combat boot leather, so expect unique grain, tone, and character — and a patina that deepens the longer you carry it.

What material is used inside?

The interior is lined with tough, USA-made 1000D Cordura® nylon for structure and strength, paired with the combat boot leather exterior for all-around durability.

What is the purpose of the Mil-Spec binding and stitching?

The 1" Mil-Spec binding reinforces the edges to prevent fraying, while double-stitching with T-70 nylon thread ensures long-lasting seams.

Three builds of the same unfolded-bill bifold: the Combat Leather Edition (this product), the Firehose Edition in real decommissioned fire hose, and the made-to-order Legacy Edition built from your own gear.

No — RFF wallets do not include built-in RFID blocking. For protection, add our Aluminum RFID Blocker Card 2-Pack — slip one in the front and one in the back of your card stack.
