2 Yr Review: Rugged, sleek, functional, with the mark of craftsmanship!

I have had this wallet for 2 yrs now. Originally I was skeptical I’d like it better than a classic folding wallet, but I quickly came to love it. It’s so small and fits well in any pocket. I can carry it with me front or back or in a suit jacket. I love the card slot in the back where I keep the card I use 90% of the time.

Over the past two years it’s developed a beautiful patina and now carries the bite mark of my daughter when she was 18 months and bit down on it. It’s like having a living memory each time I see it.

2 yrs in and it’s just improving I could see this wallet lasting a decade or longer.

BLUF: Buy it and enjoy!

1st to review the International Franklin

The brown International Franklin
Leather is thinner than the create your own Franklin 2 in Buck Brown ordered together on memorial day sale.
Soft and slim . Tuck in the HK$10, 20,50,100,500 bills and some coupons they all fit well
With the quick access slot for express travel card.
Never thought I would like the Franklin before as Finnigan Brown was my first pick.
Having 6 cards 10 bills and few coupons it still keep the slim profile.
The problem now is having hard time choosing which one to rock.

Clean, Simple, & Functional

I bought the Mini Franklin, in Buck Brown, over a week ago. Loved it and went ahead and ordered the full size Franklin shortly after to alternate depending on the amount of stuff I need to carry. I appreciate how clean and simple it looks without the stitchings. The monogram adds just enough pop to make it stand out. Waiting on Franklin 2 to drop soon. I'll be snagging that too.

Functional meets beauty

I really like the Franklin. So simple and yet very clever design. Olive color is so different and classy. Very satisfied

Ingenious design. Franklin-Black is way more attractive than its photo.

Been carrying a Ridge wallet for years

Been carrying a Ridge wallet for years. I have been looking to switch it up and change the look. I saw this wallet on Reddit and thought it looked cool. Got it last week and love the ease of use and the feel of the leather. It fits easily in my front pocket and I look forward to seeing how it ages over time.

Better than I Thought

I am thrilled by the sheer capacity and shape of the Franklin. I was torn between several models that were a bit similar, but i ultimately chose the franklin for its unique one piece, no stitch design. Immediately, without having to break it in, i was able to fit my 8 cards, paper business cards, and small bundle of cash that i need without having to stretch out any leather or break in any stitching. The quality of the leather is truly unmatched and can be felt immediately, so you cant go wrong on that front. This wallet was a great choice for me, so i could adjust my wallet carry according to the amount of items it can carry without having to worry about slipping if im running with a lighter load. The only detail that i had to adjust to was the back quick access “pocket” is left open between the two inter-locked flaps where cards can slip out easily, instead i tucked it back behind the cash and haven’t had any issues since. The compliments when I take it out arent so bad either.

Franklin Russet wallet is a winner!

I saw the promo. run on ABC News "Made in America." Decided to order one. I am very pleased with the quality construction. One piece means no problems with stirching or seams later. Fits many cards and bills as well. I anticipate this wallet will give me many years of faithful service. Great job, Lost Dutchman!

Genius wallet

I got the Russet Franklin for free as part of the Holiday sale haul as I gifted a few wallets to others. This is my favorite wallet from Lost Dutchman and other vendors I’ve purchased from by far. The simplicity yet functionality of this wallet is genius. It is perfectly sized and feels absolutely fantastic in hand. I’ve been using it as my everyday wallet now for about 3-4 weeks and don’t anticipate switching it out anytime soon. Can’t wait to watch this develop a beautiful patina. Lost Dutchman is the real deal!

One of my favorites

This has to be one of the most well designed EDC wallets hands down. Throw your most used card in the quick access slot, your others on the inside, throw some cash in, fold it up and go. Stays secure and everything is so easy to get to just like a traditional bifold but MUCH more front pocket friendly. I carry this every day, and I have a Big Finn for trips so I can carry a little more for emergencies. Between those two you won’t ever need anything else.

Franklin

I’d of liked it more but the slit you made to tuck the tongue in is to wide. The hole is to far over on one side causing it not have as good integrity on that side because it’s thinner wall. Eh I like it other than that

Excellent Quality Leather and Unique Design

I went back and forth between this and the Franklin mini. In the end, I didn’t want my cash folded in thirds so I went with this for the cash wrap option. First, the leather is exceptional and you can tell immediately that this isn’t a mass produced product. It works great and holds everything in place. I have 5-6 cards plus 8-10 bills at a time without a problem. I put my key fob horizontal in my pocket with the Franklin resting on top which keeps my pocket fairly flat. If you’re looking at cash Finn as I was, I would say unless cash is your primary way to pay you’re better off with this or Big Finn if you prefer the stitching. You won’t really need the sideways cash access unless it’s a constant thing and it’s very easy to get cash in and out of the Franklin. I really like having a quick access card too since that’s my primary way to pay. I’m looking forward to how the leather ages on this but I feel like I made the right choice. Pictures are from when I got it then about 2.5 weeks later. Thank you Nate and team! Looking forward to future drops!

Love the Franklin Wallet

I like that it's a minimalist design, compact, and made with real leather.

Franklin The Perfect Wallet

Just received my Franklin, and it's unbelievable it held all 15 Cards I carry everyday and 12 Bills, without a doubt the best minimalist wallet I've everyday owned, I would have bet it wouldn't hold everything i carry but I'm amazed and thrilled I gave the Dutchman a try and now you have a customer from here on out. QUALITY is outstanding and to think NO STITCHES, Leather is soft and supple and I know it will patina just like all quality leather does, the wallet i was carrying is empty now and still thicker the the Franklin with all cards and cash. One word to sum it up, Unbelievable
Thanks again

The Great Franklin Wallet

I ordered this wallet in first week of July 2025 in the Middle East, it was shipped and delivered right on time. The leather quality is outstanding and the minimalist design with no glue or stitching really makes it stand out. I own a collection of custom wallets, and this has become one of my favorites for daily use. Great job to the team!
