THE 8CC BILLFOLD WALLET

THE 8CC BILLFOLD WALLET

 

Perhaps the original compact wallet design for men is the 8cc billfold.  This design features eight credit card pockets for individual cards and a note pocket that is folded in half when the wallet is closed.  It is a relatively minimalist classic design that has been extremely popular.  To make the billfold more compact, some designs replace the note pocket a note clip to reduce the amount of material required and therefore the thickness.  Others craft the credit card pockets from a single piece of leather with slots.  Ultimately with this design, the thickness of the wallet is determined by the overlapping credit card pockets, so there is a limit to how compact it can be made.
