How many cards does it hold?

The Sergeant comfortably holds 4 to 8 cards. Fit varies slightly because each piece is cut from real fire hose, and hose thickness ranges by manufacturer. If you carry 6 or fewer cards, expect a snug, low-profile fit. Carrying 7 to 8 means a slightly thicker stack but still slim compared to a traditional bifold.

Is this really made from used fire hose?

Yes. We source decommissioned fire hose retired from active service across the United States — hose that fought real fires, took real abuse, and got pulled from rotation. We clean it, cut it, and stitch it by hand into the wallet you carry. Recycled Firefighter was founded by a firefighter.

How does the cash strap work?

The 3-inch mil-spec elastic cash strap on the exterior holds your folded bills (folded into thirds) snugly against the wallet. Slide cash under or pull it out fast — no zipper, no clasp, no fuss. An elastic back band on some models gives you quick access to receipts or extra cash.

Will my wallet have markings on it?

It might. Repurposed fire hose comes with character — original department lettering, scuffs from service, color variations, unique wear patterns. These are not defects. Limited Edition (flame icon) pieces tend to have the most distinctive markings. Standard pieces are usually cleaner but can still show authentic hose character.

Where are firefighter minimalist wallets made?

Our production facility is located in Cape Coral, Florida. All of our products are fully made in the USA, and built out of extra-resilient materials such as repurposed fire hose, high-quality leather, and mil-spec nylon binding and thread.

What is a minimalist wallet?

Slim or minimalist wallets are designed to increase comfort and free up pocket space by cutting down on the amount of unnecessary cards, coins, and other items people carry on their person. They serve as a more compact, functional, and light replacement for traditional bulky billfolds.

Why are slim wallets better for men?

Since men often carry essential items such as keys and phones in their pockets, they tend to be better served by slim front pocket wallets that don't take nearly as much space as traditional leather billfolds. This results in increased comfort and convenience throughout the day.
