Wallet Dimensions Reference
Gabriel Mantelli wallets come in three carry types — Horizontal Bifold, Vertical Bifold, Zip-Around — each in three colours (Cognac, Dark Brown, Black). No size variants inside any type. Use this page as a reference for capacity, thickness, and how each carry option compares to the cards and notes you're already carrying.
Dimensions — three carry types

Card capacity
A standard US credit card measures 3.37 in × 2.13 in (85.6 mm × 54 mm). All three wallet types hold standard cards with roughly 3 mm of vertical margin and 6 mm of horizontal margin per slot — enough room to remove a card cleanly without folding the leather back.
Which carry option
- Horizontal Bifold — the daily, sits flat in any pocket, classic landscape format.
- Vertical Bifold — portrait orientation, easier one-hand opening, cards stack vertically.
- Zip-Around — secure closure, multi-pocket interior, holds the most.
Construction shared across the range
The horizontal and vertical bifolds use crazy-horse full-grain leather — hand-stitched, no synthetic coating, develops a strong patina over time. The Zip-Around uses smooth oiled full-grain leather with a gunmetal YKK perimeter zip. All three share bartack-reinforced corners, tonal thread, and the same warm tan interior lining. No RFID blocking. Expect a 1–2 week break-in window while the leather learns the shape of what you carry.
How to measure your current wallet to compare
Lay your current wallet flat and closed. Measure width and height with a ruler in inches. If your current wallet is similar in width/height to one of the three above, that type will feel familiar.
