Luke has had plenty of wallets over the years, but the Bellroy Hide & Seek that the brand gave us might be one of his favorite bifold wallets! After testing it out, its time to share what he likes about it, doesn't like about it, and exactly who it is for!

let's talk about the hideand-seek wallet
0:03
from
0:06
belroy let me introduce you guys to the
0:09
belroy hide and seek it comes in two
0:11
sizes it has a high and a low uh bills
0:15
higher than 74 mm you're going to want
0:17
that high one this one is the low and
0:20
it's uh to hold any bills shorter than
0:22
that 74 mm Mark and this is the one I
0:25
like I don't like a big bulky W wallet
0:28
I'm not sure about you but I really
0:29
don't if you're wanting a wallet that
0:32
will never let you down this just might
0:35
be it there are a lot of people who have
0:37
used belroy before and uh they will
0:41
testify that it holds up and for just
0:43
under $100 it better now I've had this
0:47
wallet the hide and seek for about 3
0:50
weeks it was gifted To Us by belroy but
0:52
all the opinions are my own if you're
0:54
looking for a wallet that like truly is
0:57
going to just be timeless and classic
0:59
all the time and kind of with everything
1:01
that's not close to $10 but also like
1:04
far away from
1:06
$400 like me I don't want to pay that
1:08
much um this just might be your next
1:11
wallet I I don't really need the ultra
1:13
minimalist wallet I like a good classic
1:16
wallet sometimes and uh if you're like
1:17
me and you don't want to carry like a
1:19
library's worth of receipts and papers
1:22
and everything's around with you all day
1:24
then this is a pretty good wallet this
1:27
wallet comes with RFID protection and
1:29
you can you can actually see it stamped
1:31
into the leather let me show you right
1:33
here which is a cool feature on the
1:35
wallet that they actually take took the
1:36
time to stamp that in and if you're
1:39
traveling that is a nice bit of added
1:41
security whether or not that's going to
1:43
happen I don't know but at least you
1:45
have it in there so this wallet does
1:47
come with a 3-year warranty which is
1:49
pretty nice kind of guarantees you
1:51
you're not going to spend upwards to
1:52
$100 for a product that's going to fall
1:54
apart in like 3 weeks or 3 months or 3
1:58
years now this one is made of 70%
2:01
leather 25% polyester and on their
2:04
website it actually says 5% other so who
2:07
knows what that is I don't really care I
2:09
like the way this leather feels I like
2:11
the way this leather looks this one is
2:13
the caramel color one and it comes the
2:15
bellroy hide and seek comes in actually
2:17
eight different colors so uh it gives
2:20
you lots of options which is pretty nice
2:22
well let's take a look at what this
2:24
wallet offers the belroy wallet does
2:27
have four of these quick slots right
2:30
here for your cards which is pretty nice
2:31
so that gives a pretty good amount of
2:33
options if you carry like me two to four
2:35
cards at a time I don't like having much
2:38
more than that but if you do like more
2:40
than that it has this little pocket
2:42
right here that actually holds like 5 to
2:46
12 like it holds a lot of cards in there
2:50
um the the wallet itself can hold like
2:53
12 plus cards and it also has a great
2:56
spot for your flat bills like right in
2:59
here which looks looks pretty good it's
3:00
got this nice material in here but if
3:02
you're looking to hold even more than
3:04
that don't worry because it's not even
3:06
close to being done it's called the
3:08
belroy hide and seek for a very good
3:10
reason there's an extra flat bill
3:13
storage area right here so your normal
3:16
bills are going to go in here and then
3:17
right behind that guy right there
3:19
there's an extra one that just tucks
3:21
right in neatly kind of behind this
3:22
leather fold which is pretty awesome so
3:25
you can tuck stuff you don't want people
3:26
to see right back there in this first M
3:29
compartment there is this sneaky slot
3:32
they call it right here where you can
3:33
add compartments and that's pretty cool
3:36
and it holds really tight and if that
3:38
isn't enough there's a second hidden
3:40
compartment for coins or Like Me guitar
3:42
pick I don't personally like carrying
3:44
coins around in my wallet but I do like
3:46
having like guitar piix that I can keep
3:48
on hand in case of an emergency but if
3:50
you can see this right in here I know
3:51
it's going to be really hard to see
3:52
there is
3:54
this pocket right there where you can
3:56
tuck coins and things like that in there
3:59
which is very nice now for its size this
4:03
wallet holds a lot of features which I
4:06
think is really cool they've really done
4:08
a good job getting all these features
4:11
into such a like Sleek wallet now
4:12
there's no cards in here right now this
4:14
is just kind of how it comes but uh the
4:17
more I get to use this wallet the more
4:18
I'm actually thinking like I want to
4:20
name this little out you know what I'm
4:21
like I don't know did belroy people do
4:25
that I think they should if they don't
4:27
one of the coolest parts of this wallet
4:29
is the owl honestly if this little
4:31
wallet didn't have the owl and you saw
4:33
it just like sitting on a table it would
4:36
seem pretty basic and simple but this
4:38
little piece of branding and design is
4:41
such a quality feature now they could
4:43
have like stamped the leather just like
4:45
they did in here uh you know like right
4:48
here and uh in other places they could
4:50
have stamped the leather like that but
4:52
they didn't they took the time to fasten
4:55
on this little metal owl now I really do
4:57
like the color of this wallet if you go
5:00
to their website it comes in eight
5:02
different colors and uh there's one
5:04
color on there that I think looks really
5:06
good it comes from colors from like
5:08
black to Green to this caramel to a
5:11
Sienna but uh one of my favorites
5:14
actually is their Java because if you
5:16
like this one you open it up and it's
5:18
got this nice gray material that that's
5:19
pretty awesome it looks good you know
5:21
open and closed um it's not all the same
5:24
but uh the Java on the inside actually
5:26
the inside comes in like almost like
5:28
this color this caramel color is on the
5:31
inside and with that darker Java on the
5:33
outside and this here man it looks
5:35
really good you should definitely jump
5:37
over to belroy website and check it out
5:40
for yourself I really like the stitching
5:42
on this wallet both inside and out if
5:45
you can see on this bottom Edge as it
5:47
runs up and it looks like it's double
5:49
stitched on the corners the ends and the
5:50
tops which is pretty nice as it goes in
5:52
but the stitching is pretty nice
5:54
throughout the whole wallet it's
5:57
reinforced in all the right places if
5:58
you look in this wallet you can kind of
6:00
see at the bottom bam right there
6:02
there's a big open hole in there and
6:04
honestly I did not like that at first I
6:07
opened it up and one of the very first
6:09
thoughts I had was wow that's kind of
6:11
weird it almost looks like there's a
6:12
tear in the bottom but uh after three or
6:16
four times of opening that I kind of
6:17
stopped caring about it and actually I
6:20
like it now because any debris that gets
6:23
in there is going to fall right out and
6:24
it's going to keep your wallet and the
6:26
stuff in your wallet from getting dirty
6:27
and it's going to keep it lasting longer
6:29
which is pretty nice I've worked in
6:30
Mills before I do a lot of hiking things
6:33
like that and when sawdust or dirt and
6:34
stuff gets into your wallet it's pretty
6:36
nice to not have to like pull all your
6:38
cards and bills out of your wallet and
6:40
then like do this kind of stuff and
6:42
stuff's falling out of your wallet it's
6:44
just like if dirt gets in there it's
6:45
going to fall right out and I think
6:46
that's a pretty nice
6:48
feature now if you like things being
6:50
tucked away organized and hidden in your
6:53
wallet maybe where it's not visible on
6:55
first opening then you and I are
6:58
probably going to really like this
7:00
wallet belroy designed a lot of nice
7:02
features and hidden compartments in this
7:05
wallet and I think you just might
7:06
appreciate it like I do now I found the
7:09
first hidden compartment right away but
7:11
only because I was looking for it right
7:14
and it's right in here if you open up
7:16
the wallet and then you look right on
7:17
this side right here it's on the back
7:19
side of there open it up there it is and
7:22
your main compartment right off there I
7:24
found it because I was looking for it
7:25
but if someone actually stole your
7:28
wallet and did a quick search they might
7:30
Overlook it which would be pretty
7:32
helpful if that were ever to happen to
7:35
you this is something that I think about
7:37
when I travel is like where should I put
7:39
the really vital cards so they're less
7:41
likely to be stolen now the second
7:43
hidden compartment got me because I
7:45
didn't even realize that it was there
7:47
until about 3 or 4 days in great job
7:51
belroy now this one I honestly have
7:54
mixed feelings about because it's right
7:57
here the belroy owl kind of sticks up
8:00
and when you put it in your pocket you
8:02
can kind of see it sticking through the
8:04
material a little bit it just pushes out
8:06
and I feel like that looks kind of weird
8:09
and if you're sitting on your wall all
8:11
day which you shouldn't but I even
8:13
though I know that I still do sometimes
8:14
but if you're sitting on it like is it
8:16
going to put a wear Mark in your your
8:18
pants at like over time I don't know and
8:21
honestly like if belroy came out without
8:23
this little owl in it I'd be pretty
8:25
disappointed it's still a solid wallet
8:27
but um I'd be less likely to buy it I
8:29
like this I don't know what the solution
8:31
would be other than like making the owl
8:34
a little bit thinner um something like
8:37
that now here's something else that I
8:39
really don't like
8:41
about this wallet and to be fair I don't
8:45
it like this about any wallet and that's
8:48
the compartment for coins I don't
8:51
understand carrying coins in your wallet
8:55
it's so close to the outside leather
8:57
like in this one where the pockets are
8:58
that when you put put a coin in it you
9:00
can see it actually sticking out of the
9:02
leather and for the past week I actually
9:05
put coins in here and you can see
9:07
there's no coins in it right now but you
9:08
can
9:09
see it almost looks like there's a coin
9:12
in it right now and if you spent almost
9:15
$100 on some nice leather wallets like
9:18
why would you destroy it so with that
9:20
let's talk about who should buy this
9:21
wallet this is for someone who wants
9:24
really a
9:26
Timeless wallet we've all seen people
9:28
carrying wallets that make them look
9:30
well like kind of goofy picture a 3-in
9:34
wallet the sticking out of someone's
9:36
pocket or a bulky wallet sticking out of
9:39
a front pocket and to me this type of
9:41
wallet says the person is maybe
9:44
unorganized or stuck in a weird Trend
9:47
we've all seen that from time to time
9:48
but you're not going to get that with
9:50
this wallet this is just a classic
9:53
wallet everyone who saw this wallet in
9:55
the past almost 3 weeks uh that I've
9:57
used it has mentioned how nice it looks
10:00
uh they didn't know I was testing it
10:02
they just thought I bought a new wallet
10:04
if you're into trying a new trend just
10:06
because it's new then there are
10:08
definitely plenty of weird amazing
10:12
questionable and smart wallets in the
10:14
world today so by all means keep
10:16
exploring you need to find what works
10:19
and feels good to you but if you want a
10:21
wallet that will match everything and
10:23
kind of never go out of style this is
10:25
for you now if you carry a lot of cards
10:29
and there have been times in my life
10:31
when I didn't have the option of only
10:33
carrying a few cards like when I'm
10:34
traveling and I'm needing to carry
10:36
passports and plane tickets and hold on
10:38
to business receipts for weeks on end
10:41
then this wallet is for you it can hold
10:43
a lot of bills and yes even coins all
10:47
while remaining relatively slim this
10:50
will help you keep things organized so
10:54
that you're not that guy in line or at
10:56
the airport with your wallet like
10:58
bursting open and unorganized cards and
11:01
papers are spilling out onto the counter
11:03
Instead This wallet allows you to hold
11:06
all those bills cards tickets and yes
11:09
guitar picks in an organized and easily
11:12
accessible compartments you'll go from
11:15
being the person holding up the line to
11:16
someone who keeps things moving smoothly
11:20
for example I've always carried my main
11:22
debit card on the right hand side of the
11:24
wallet even though I'm a left-handed
11:27
person um and this at times has made me
11:31
actually use my work cards on accident
11:33
or a different card on accident than my
11:35
main debit card but uh this one is so
11:38
well organized that I've actually about
11:40
the first weekend I switched to using my
11:42
main debit card my personal one on this
11:44
side of the wallet and uh my other ones
11:47
get stowed behind here in kind of the
11:48
bulk compartment um and that has uh I
11:52
think at least will eliminate using the
11:55
wrong card so this wallet has helped me
11:58
become a little bit more more organized
11:59
than how I carry my cards which is a
12:01
small thing again but it matters now if
12:05
you're a minimalist who will never carry
12:07
more than a few simple cards and you're
12:09
definitely not carrying two months of
12:12
receipts and $5 worth of change there
12:15
are definitely other wallets that will
12:17
work better for you and this isn't the
12:19
one you'll want to get what's the point
12:22
of having all these compartments if
12:24
you're just simply never going to use
12:26
them but if you're like me and sometimes
12:28
carry a few cards and other times you
12:30
need to carry multiple work cards along
12:33
with personal cards travel receipts
12:35
insurance cards then make sure you head
12:38
over to belroy and pick up the hide and
12:40
seek just make sure you keep track of it
12:42
and avoid losing it once a week like I
12:44
have now if you're like me and you like
12:48
only carrying a few cards but you like
12:50
also to have the option of carrying a
12:53
lot of cards when you're traveling or
12:56
doing other things then make sure you
12:58
head over to belroy and pick up the hide
13:01
and seek wallet just try to avoid losing
13:04
it once a week like I did just kidding
13:07
well big thanks to belroy for gifting us
13:09
