Fossil Ingram Trifold Review

Hi this is Trevor with LeatherWallets.org. In this video we are reviewing the fossil trifold wallet and I am going to tell you why you should avoid this wallet.

All right. So like I said this is the fossil trifold. I got this off of Amazon it at the time I got it. It was close to 50 dollars. It's dropped in price quite a bit. The prices do change. So before I show you just want to mention that the price may go up by the time that you see this. All right let's look. So here's the wallet. It's about 30 right now. Nothing too interesting except for this I thought was was interesting. If you're looking for a wallet that has that will provide closure. This wallet it does not. Times two.

All right so let's take a look at it it does come like this with the white cardboard wrapping and then the tinfoil gift bar or the tin gift box. This one is dented. It did not come like this. Let me show you. So here's the website LeatherWallets.org and I've got a few images of the wallet up here for you. And that is how the Tim, tin, excuse me, came to me. So I dented this. Yeah. Anyway all right. Let's open this guy up. The first thing you'll notice they do present it well with the inside the gift box which is awesome. I do want to draw your attention to this part right here you can see that it says RFID protection Well it turns out it does not.

I do want to tell you right now the wallet. I tested it retested it. No our RFID protection in it which is a big disappointment. So just to show you I have my little tester here and a credit card. See it it does scan. We'll go ahead and place the card in the center and there you go. So no RFID protection provided even though it states it does.

The leather on it is genuine leather as we saw in the . .. on the box here see where it says genuine leather. Now again if you've been watching this show you know that genuine leather is a marketing term and usually that's for a lower grade leather. This one doesn't feel too bad. It's got a nice feel to it. The smell is OK not the best but it's OK. So genuine leather. Not we want to see but overall the leather is fine. I can tell you it is very thin and the way they stiffen up the wallet is they include a lot of backing material in here.

It has a total of 13 pockets which includes this little flap here with the pockets in the back and an ID window. So 13 card pockets and an ID window. It has the cash compartment but no bill divider in there. All right. Let's see. No warranty information that I've been able to find for the wallet, so out of luck there.

As far as the build quality major issues with this guy I mean the stitching is all over the place. Let me give you let me point out one example that is just horrendous here.

So if you can see this area. My gosh. I don't know what they were thinking when they stitched up there but it's not just there. I mean pretty much any time they ran across any time a stitch came where you know it may have needed a little bit of extra attention. They just dropped the ball and like right here this leather is not sewn. It can just totally come up and come up off whatever the right word is right here. That's terrible. And you see that you saw the glue that was there to use glue a lot in this wallet. So much in fact there is at least one pocket that I cannot I mean I wanted to save this. I may be able to force it through but I wanted to save it for the video you know so you got you could see the problem. But there's something right here preventing that card from going in and if I force it I may rip it but it's glued. All down there. The insides aren't sewn on the switch over here so you can see that this flap, is not sewn. This flap is not sewn. So you're relying on the glue of which I know they used a lot to keep this wallet together. So that's bad.

Well let's see what else did I want to show you. Areas like this pocket. Normally you would block this pocket off. So it doesn't go all the way in. But this one does.

And when you pull it out you want the you want the roll over to go past the card so that the rollover comes up up this way and goes down if the top of the card is higher than the end of the rollover. It's fine. The card can go up and down. No problem. But if the rollover is higher then the card is deep at the top of the card will hit that roll over and it will act like a ledge. And that's what you get in this pocket for instance. The roll over the switch cameras here. The rollover is barely down. And so in the corners right there the the card hits it. That's going to make this leather right here come apart faster and is going to ruin the wallet.

So nor are, no RFID despite it claiming that it does terribly sewn. Where it's, when it's sewn they did a terrible job, where it's not sewn they should have sewn. So that's disappointing. What else did I want to say? I think that's it. So that's that's the Fossil trifold wallet, don't get it. Avoid this one. We've ranked it real low in our comparison and that's it. Any questions about this one. Any comments concerns. Definitely let me know if you have this wallet and you love it and think I'm full of it. Let me know in the comments. Tell me your experience. Otherwise we'll see in the next video these guys goodbye.
