Great for commuters who need to quickly flash transit cards and work badges, the New Yorker wallet from Big Skinny features two ID pockets with clear windows and thumb-activated holes for quick and easy card access. The New Yorker also features six pockets that hold three plastic cards apiece. The extra-wide pockets are lined with a rubbery coating to prevent cards from slipping out. Designed with rounded corners for comfort, it's constructed of a lightweight, water resistant nylon microfiber material that is 5 to 7 times thinner and lighter than leather. It's machine washable for easy care and it dries out in about 20 minutes. The New Yorker wallet measures 4 x 3 Inch (and 6 mm thin when empty). The first Big Skinny wallet was designed by Kiril Stefan Alexandrov (the company's founder) because he loathed sitting on a thick, heavy leather wallet. Since creating the original Sport Wallet in 2005 using an advanced nylon micro-fiber material (5 to 7 times thinner than leather), Big Skinny has added dozens of slim wallet styles for men and women with more on the way.
