The Captain Wallet - Firehose Edition is a wider, flatter bifold built for back-pocket comfort. Made from real decommissioned fire hose with a 1000D Cordura interior lining and a 40-gauge clear ID window (more than 2x thicker than standard). Holds 12 to 15 cards and up to 20 bills folded in half. 4 by 5 inches folded for better weight distribution and a comfortable seated profile. Hand-sewn in small batches at our Cape Coral, Florida facility — the result of 13 months and 50+ failed prototypes before we got it right.

Made in the USA.

Why is the Captain wider than other wallets?

Designed at 4 by 5 inches folded to spread out the contents and lay flat in your back pocket. The wider footprint distributes weight evenly so you don't get the lopsided lump that smaller bifolds make when stuffed.

How many cards and bills does it hold?

12 to 15 cards across the slots. The cash pocket fits about 20 bills folded in half. Loads on both sides of the bifold.

Is it front-pocket compatible?

Technically yes, but the larger size is really optimized for back-pocket comfort. If you want true front-pocket minimalism, the Sergeant (4-8 cards) or Rookie (8-12 cards) are better fits. See the wallet-family comparison below.

Will my Captain look exactly like the picture?

No. Each one is made from real, retired fire hose, so every wallet has its own markings, discolorations, or department writing. These variations show its authentic service history. No two are alike.

What makes the ID window durable?

40-gauge clear material — over twice as thick as standard ID windows on bifolds. Resists cracking, scratching, and clouding while keeping your ID easy to see.

Which RFF wallet is right for me?

Four wallet styles in the RFF lineup, sized by capacity:

Sergeant Wallet: Slimmest. Minimalist front-pocket, 4 to 8 cards, exterior cash strap.

Rookie Wallet: Minimalist bifold for 8 to 12 cards. Step up from the Sergeant.

Lieutenant Wallet: Traditional bifold built for unfolded bills. Holds 4 to 12 cards, 20 bills lay flat.

Captain Wallet (this product): Largest. Wider, flatter bifold with ID window. 12 to 15 cards, 20 bills, 1000D Cordura lining.

Firehose Edition (this product): Real decommissioned fire hose exterior. The classic.
