The Rogue Wallet is a thin front pocket leather wallet made in Maine, USA. It's harder to steal than traditional wallets, is protected from electronic card swipers, and it avoids bulging wallet 'hip pocket syndrome'.
The unusual shape arose when inventor Michael Lyons was washing his jeans in 2005. He noticed that front pockets weren't square, and the idea was born to create a wallet that fitted the actual shape of pockets. He'd been spurred on by a chiropractor telling him that sitting on his fat wallet was causing a bad back.
The Rogue Wallet also soothes the mind. It stops RFID (Radio Frequency ID) waves with a built-in layer to block ID theft swipers – these can read credit cards chips from up to five metres away. Credit card swipe transactions are set to boom, and a wallet that stop others swiping for you is a wise security measure.
The Good Store reckons that the Rogue Wallet makes sense. It has a right hand license window, three slots on left, and a hidden pocket behind the left hand slots. With double dinking, it'll handle 8-10 cards comfortably… 12 at a pinch. Just remember it's supposed to be kept thin – otherwise get a man bag.
What with the expense and bother of replacing stolen wallets and Credit Cards, our unusually shaped wallet is particularly fine for travel, outdoor concerts, the Royal Show.
And we love it that the company that makes it operates out of an old barn in Standish, Maine...and is stocked by LL Bean, The Vermont Country Store and Phoenix Leathergoods. Judge things by the company they keep.
