Finally received my Wallet #1 in black!
The build, materials, and opening action is perfect. I actually didn't have enough cards to start with, so I moved some extra IDs and cards into it and it filled out the pockets much more nicely.
My plan for this wallet was to leave it "open" most of the time - this promo shot of the wallet held open by the elastic, so the pockets are exposed, is very similar to my last wallet, so this is how I wanted to carry my wallet in my pocket. It's worked out pretty well so far! Nothing falls out in normal use, and when I literally shake the wallet upside down, the only things that fall out are my Tile tracker and a folded US bill, which are the the only non-credit-card-sized things I carry. I've noticed I carry the wallet 50% strapped open, 50% strapped closed, and the elastic is so easy to use that it's a non-issue to switch between the two.
My partner got a Dawn Wallet #3 and it's beautiful! She keeps her tappable cards, like a work key and transit pass, in the outside pocket, but in my experience, keeping my tappable cards inside the wallet hasn't interfered with them being read by scanners.
These wallets are my new favorite wallets of all time!

I have a TC in Dawn, too. It may be my favorite TB color ever. It's a bit of a struggle for those of us who favor cool tones...

HAH... looks like we had the same thought process on the wallet - but I'm jealous of your DAWN. mine is grass, which is awesome as well, but I'm absolutely loving the dawn (got a travel cubelet in dawn) :-D

Oh, if it was just a question of "do I like it," I would totally keep it. It looks great and seems well-organized. But it's expensive enough that it needs a regular purpose.

Setrombley, the Truck will grow on you. I have one in neb grey like you and I love it. Use it everyday for gym clothes, groceries etc. Fabulous bag.

Hooray! My package came today, with all new/newish stuff.
The Firewood Wrap is very old-school. That shade of green is not my favorite, just personal taste, but it's a gift that I think will be well-liked.
The Truck (Neb Grey) is a sturdy-looking beast. Love the color. I'm still not 100% sure it's easier to carry a load of groceries that's more horizontally distributed than in the more vertical Large Shop Bag it was bought to replace (alas, original Nordic, finally wearing out). I worry a bit about the flanking compartments sagging. Looks like a great bag to have around just in case (good layout for knitting at home, I think), but maybe too pricey for that purpose. I'll have to think about it some more.
Minimalist Wallet #4 is darling and perfect in Dawn. Loved the placeholder art cards, too! I was scared for a minute that it wouldn't hold a MetroCard, but it jusssst does.

Just got my order
Nik's wallet #4 is 😍😍😍
It's so much smaller than the COW, for a second, my eyes tricked me into thinking it was TOO small to hold cards, but (obviously) it's not.
Got lots of new(er) colors... Totally psyched to use them! :-D

Fetched mine and the color is totally awesome. I definitely made the right decision. The grey has a greenish hue and even looks more green than grey depending on the light. It’s a great neutral, but also a great color at the same time.
