Lieutenant Wallet - Firehose Edition

Q: Can it really fit unfolded bills?

Yes. Traditional bifold sized for unfolded bills folded once across the long axis. Holds up to 20 bills.

Q: How many cards does it hold?

4 to 12 cards. Four card slots (2 on each side) with room to stack 2-3 cards per slot.

Q: Will my Lieutenant look exactly like the picture?

No. Each is made from real retired fire hose so every wallet has unique scuffs, markings, or department writing. No two alike.

Q: Why is the interior lined with 1000D Cordura?

Fire hose alone can be stiff. The Cordura lining gives long-term structure, smooth card retrieval, and added strength at stress points.

Q: What editions does the Lieutenant come in?

Three: Firehose, Combat Leather (repurposed US military boot leather), and the made-to-order Legacy Edition built from your own gear.

Q: Do these wallets block RFID?

No. RFF wallets do not include built-in RFID blocking. Add our Aluminum RFID Blocker Card 2-Pack to the front and back of your card stack for protection.

Fire hose material fits full-sized cash without folding.

The Lieutenant Wallet - Firehose Edition is a rugged, traditional bifold engineered to carry unfolded bills. Handmade in America from genuine repurposed fire hose, the Lieutenant is exceptionally tough, water-resistant, and built to last. 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.

Can it really fit unfolded bills?

Yes. The Lieutenant is sized like a traditional bifold so cash rides flat, folded once across the long axis. No more crumpling or smashing bills into a too-small pocket. Holds up to 20 bills.

How many cards does it hold?

4 to 12 cards comfortably. Four total card slots (2 on each side) with enough room to stack 2-3 cards per slot if you carry heavier.

Will my Lieutenant look exactly like the picture?

No. Each wallet is made from real, retired fire hose so every one has unique scuffs, discoloration, department writing, or markings from its service life. Some show hose print or reflective hints; others come clean. No two are alike — and that is the point.

Why is the interior lined with 1000D Cordura?

Fire hose alone can be stiff and abrasive on cards. The 1000D Cordura lining gives the wallet long-term structure, smooth card retrieval, and added strength at high-wear stress points. Best of both worlds: tough exterior, refined interior.

How is it constructed?

Double-stitched with T-70 nylon thread. Edged with 1-inch Mil-Spec binding. Handcrafted in small batches in the USA. Built like real gear, not fashion.

Which RFF wallet is right for me?

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

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 (this product, $79): Traditional bifold built for unfolded bills. Holds 4 to 12 cards, 20 bills lay flat. 1000D Cordura lined.

Captain Wallet: Largest. Wider, flatter bifold with ID window. 12 to 15 cards, 20 bills, 1000D Cordura lined.

What editions does the Lieutenant come in?

Three builds of the same unfolded-bill bifold: the Firehose Edition (this product), the Combat Leather Edition in repurposed US military combat boot leather, and the made-to-order Legacy Edition built from your own gear.

Do these wallets block RFID?

No — RFF wallets are built slim and tough but 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.

Well Made

"I have only used the wallet a short time, a little larger than what I’m used to but I knew that before I bought it. I don’t like the window for ID That’s why I ordered this one. Quality stitching and craftsmanship."

— Robert C. (5/5)

Lieutenant wallet is a winner

"finally time for a change. I've liked firehose material for many years, probably starting with Duluth pants. I ditched my leather wallet, which was a really good one, but I'm very happy with the firehose wallet from RF. I'm glad it wasn't shiny and new looking. This thing has seen some duty. Love it. And it's something that is going to outlast me."

2nd wallet, both keepers!

"So 8-1/2 years ago I bought a Captain wallet. I love that wallet with the exception of having to fold my bills. I saw the Lieutenant when you came out with it, but the Captain was wearing so well, it was hard to spend the $ on a new wallet. I saw the Lieutenant on sale and had a moment of weakness. Got to say I love not having to fold my bills! The build quality is just the same as the Captain, I look forward to many years of service out of the new wallet. I’ll say that after all these years the only sale at on the Captain is discoloration on the vinyl window, happy to report that there are no tears in the window as well! If you’re on the fence, just order it up, you won’t regret it!"

Best wallet i own

"Best wallet i own"

— Alex E. (5/5)

Fantastic Product!

"This wallet is extremely high quality and definitely worth the price. It hold a lot! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a full-size wallet that will last. The only change I would make, and this is not worth knocking a star off this rating, is to add a clear pocket for ID/driver's license. Minor. Overall, a fantastic product!"

— Jeffrey H. (5/5)

I like the product. Build

"I like the product. Build quality is superb, it’s simple and does and holds everything you need."

— Shawn M. (5/5)

The Lieutenant

"It’s too big for me. I’m not really a fan of it. I feel like the section that holds the money could be shorter in length, possibly by an inch on either side. The craftsmanship is great as always. I’ve bought wallets in the past from recycled firefighter and I will continue to do so, but this wallet isn’t for me."

— Andy M. (3/5)
