What is the Origin Concealed Carry Wallet?
The Origin Concealed Carry Wallet is a minimalist wallet that is 100% cowhide leather. The wallet is very slim and weighs in at a mere 6 oz. The wallet has two side pockets for cards and a middle pocket for cash or more cards. The leather is sturdy and is constructed with durable stitching. The wallet is embossed with the origin logo on one side.
Why I Bought the Origin Concealed Carry Wallet
I never liked using bulky wallets and typically carry a minimal amount of cards in my wallet. I used the same wallet for about 8 years and though I liked it very much, it was worn out and ready to be replaced. My old minimalist wallet had two sides with two separate slots on each side. I was looking for quite a long time for a replacement and while GI shopping, I saw that Origin sold a very nice-looking minimalist wallet and decided to try it out and I was not disappointed.
How I Tested the Origin Concealed Carry Wallet
At the time of writing this review, I have had the Origin Concealed Carry wallet for about a month and use it as my only every day carry wallet. I typically carry the wallet in my back pocket and will throw it in my gym bag during Jiu Jitsu training.
What I Like about the Origin Concealed Carry Wallet
- American made
- High-quality construction
- Looks great
- Slim profile
- Reminds me of Jiu Jitsu
There isn’t much to dislike about this wallet. A great thing about Origin is their commitment to American-sourced and made products. The wallet looks and feels like a very premium quality product and it is a joy each time I’ve pulled it out to make a purchase. I like having a slim wallet that doesn’t interfere with comfort when sitting down and carrying this wallet is barely felt when sitting down. I wear Origin GIs when I train Jiu Jitsu and I think about Jiu Jitsu when utilize my wallet.
What I disliked about the Origin Concealed Carry Wallet
- Cost
- Break in period
Overall, this is a near-perfect product for me.
The two minor items that I could recommend are cost and break-in period. This is a premium leather product, so I think the price is in line with other leather wallets, but it is not cheap. Origin often runs sales and offers discount promotions which help reduce the cost. I got a sweet black Friday deal on my wallet and it brought the price lower than other similar leather wallets. When I first started using the wallet, I did think that the cards were very tight in the wallet.
Over a month of use the leather did break in and loosened up while keeping my card secure.
Jiu Jitsu Hobbyist Recommendation
If you are in the market for a quality slim minimalist wallet this wallet will more than foot the bill. I like having this wallet and using it as my everyday carry wallet. This little American-made wallet looks and feels great and I’m sure will last many years of use.
