It's basically a clipless money clip and while we love ALL our wallet designs equally, we probably love this one more equal than the rest. It'll feel flimsy without cards in it, because the full grain horsefront leather is so incredibly soft and supple, but still full grain so it's incredibly durable. With cards in the slots it securely pinches the cash in the center so it won't fall out but is still easily accessible.
Four credit card slots (two in front of cash slot, two behind) horizontal format wallet with a central cash slot that securely holds your cash folded in half. 4-12ish card capacity, plus cash.
Now available in three sizes for all major world currencies (and, yes, you can obviously go smaller if you'd like, you'll just have to see if your larger bills will stick out the top of the wallet. It'll obviously still hold them, the top of the cash will just get a bit banged up...so if you're in the UK, but never carrying 50 pound notes, you can get a Medium and all 20GBP and smaller notes will fit).
Small (68mm max cash height; any cash taller than 68mm will stick above the rear/inside credit cards): US & Australian dollars
Medium (72mm max cash height): Canadian Dollars, Israeli New Shekel, Swiss Francs, Russian Rubles
Large (78mm max cash height): Euros, Pounds Sterling, New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen
Laser cut from a single piece of select Horween horsefront leathers for a durable, ultra-low-profile pocket fit, folded and hand stitched.
Monogram/Engraving Notes: We do not recommend black mustang or predator-burnt orange if you would like easily legible monogramming/engraving. This leather is a very subtle engraving and does not stand out.
Engraving & Monogramming
Engraving & Monogramming
In general, we are subtle with our personalized engravings & monograms. Smaller products receive smaller monograms, and any personalized messages are hidden where the owner can see them but they are not 'out in the open' whenever possible. If you have specific preferences for any customized engravings, make a note in the special instructions section after selecting your options and we'll contact you to verify after your order.

An ingenious design, invitingly useful and flawless craftsmanship. I love the wallet.
However, perhaps the most notable accolade is the customer centric nature of the company. When I first took delivery of my Sidestep Wallet I noted the nose of the leather to be somewhat reminiscent of a campfire., I texted Form-Function-Form's customer service and in less than 5 minutes had a reply describing the laser cutting process used to cut the leather, which leaves a burned odor with the hide. The customer service representative explained that my wallet had been shipped immediately after it had been made and the odor I'd noted would dissipate within a couple of days, allowing the natural nose of the leather to come through. It has done so and I am very pleased with a great wallet. Many thanks to Form-Function-Form!
By far the best wallet I’ve owned. Quality is incredible, very satisfying to carry. Find myself taking it out just to check it out.
If I had to nitpick, it would be the cards sticking out in the inner slots. They make me a little nervous for the longevity of my cards, but 3 months in and there’s no significant damage. Would love to see a version that covers the cards more, still the best wallet I’ve ever owned.
10/10 would buy again.
high quality look and feel.
a little tighter than i though it would be, but i'll get used to it. i guess it has to be that way so things don't slide around if only lightly loaded.
also, the leather color is significantly darker than the pictures, which i like. i was a little concerned about ordering the other orange b/c of how bright/light orange it looks in the photos, so i went with this one.
if the other orange is anything like this one, it's much darker like in the video. b/c of my uncertainty with the accuracy/lightness of color in photos i went with the darker one.
overall i'm very satisfied
This is perhaps the cleverest folded piece of leather you'll ever see. 4 card slots enclosing a cavernous cash space. Shake it, it'll never fall out. The leather quality is exquisite, and the bulid quality is almost a piece of precision engineering. The customer service is instant and amazing, understanding and thorough. Trust me, you'll want more FFF once you've got one FFF...an FFF-load!
I have tried for 15 years to get my husband to put his money and cards in a wallet and not loosely in his pocket. He says the wallets are uncomfortable and they get bulky. I tried one last effort with the sidestep wallet and he loves it! He has used it every single day since Valentine’s Day! Great job, love your work!!!
