No. 4 Leather Billfold
Timeless leather billfold for back pocket carry.
Some folks are just purists at heart, so we designed this classic gentleman’s folding wallet for traditional rear pocket carry. (They called them “billfolds” when I was a boy, so that’s what I’m calling this one.) Has compartment for bills, slots for four credit cards and one ID card and two hidden pockets.
Made in the USA from a special section of our vintage brown, hand-tanned full grain leather with lots of character. Lined in cognac calfskin. Edge stitched. 3.25” H x 4.25” W closed.
May be personalized with three initials on lower right front. Initials are embossed in order – First, Middle, Last.
Handcrafted in the USA.

Our Story
We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steer hide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.
I got the No. 4 Billfold as a gift from my wife several months ago and decided it was time to leave a review. I believe it was ordered before 3:00 one afternoon and received it the next day with my initials, nice packaging and a Moonpie. Hard to beat the quality and service of Col Littleton

Received my new wallet promptly. I must admit I indulged in the moon pie first.
The wallet is wonderfully crafted, holds all the things I need to carry, without creating a lump in my back pocket.

What a billfold! No break in required. In addition, the look is second to none. 100% happy camper, looking forward to a belt in the near future.

I was extremely hesitate to move to a new style of wallet – as we usually all are – but I am extremely happy that I did. The quality and craftsmanship of the wallet is simply beautiful. Its elegant, clean, and simple yet makes a pronounced statement. I have had this wallet for years and its the continued stand up and durability that is most impressive to me, especially compared to other brands. The genuine leather and well designed, well built structure make this a no brainer choice for me

This was a difficult purchase for me. To me, my wallet is a very personal item. I owned my previous wallet for almost 20 years and have a hard time preparing for this long goodbye. A friend showed me his No. 4 billfold that he’d owned for over a year. After examining his purchase and reading reviews on the Colonels website I had the courage to pull the trigger, purchase my own No. 4 billfold and say goodbye to my old friend. Since my purchase earlier this month I’ve been extremely satisfied with the quality of the leather and stitching and the Colonels trademark product debossing and the personalized touch of my initials debossed on my No. 4.

Bought this for my son in law this Christmas. Great quality. Can’t wait for him to see it.
As always this company is incredible to buy from. They always deliver practically before you hang the phone up from ordering.

The Perfect Wallet. This wallet was a gift to my son for his birthday. He only uses a thin wallet and finds it almost impossible to find one that will hold all the important documents that he likes to carry. Well, this CL wallet does it all for him and he couldn’t be happier. I had it personalized for that final touch of “class”. CL’s customer service made sure this gift was properly wrapped and shipped to my son’s California home in plenty of time for the Big Day. An overall great experience…

I would be extremely hard-pressed to even consider buying another wallet, ever. I entered the market for a new wallet several months ago and regrettably settled on a cheap pleather option (which tore upon arrival), before purchasing the No. 4 Billfold. There’s something to be said about quality, and the Colonel’s reviews say it all. This wallet is marked by the finest craftsmanship, character, and excellence. My satisfaction cannot be understated and I tremendously recommend this wallet.
Additionally, my experience with customer service in placing the order was personable and prompt- what more could you want?
Sincerely,
Chris

This must be one hot product. I was on the waiting list. Excellent customer service. I received a call to complete the order. I bought two wallets. I love the fact of authentic leather. I kept the wallet that has a mark on the back side. The embossing is deep and clean. I was concerned that the wallet was going to be to big but the compact design makes it slightly bigger than a card holder. I don’t keep a “George Costanza” wallet so the size is perfect. I have 8 cards/badges its less than a 1/2 an inch at the fold. This is a no frills product that is perfect.

I rarely take the time to write a review of a product however this was a case that I felt compelled to do so. I purchased this wallet and was thrilled with the product. What I was even more astounded by was the customer service. I made a specific request on this order and Patty went above and beyond to make me feel special and facilitate my request. I will recommend this product and this company to everyone. Over the top customer support truly is a lost art that was found again at Col. Littleton.
Sincerely,
David

After buying several gifts for friends and family, I finally got something for myself! My girlfriend bought me the billfold. It is made of soft, supple leather, has plenty of slots for credit cards and a few hideaway places too. There is a window for a driver license or ID card too. The grain of the leather is beautiful and the smell is wonderful. An opportunity for improvement might be a thumb slot in the clear plastic ID cover to assist removing the ID card at checkpoints, airports, etc. Overall, 5 stars! I thank the wonderful team of American skilled labor that the Colonel has put together to make this quality item.

Just received this great wallet, never thought I would spend this much on a wallet but after I received it, it was worth every penny. Small but able to hold a lot of cards and bills. I would dare you to try one!

I’ve had my No. 4 Billfold for several years now. It has really aged well, while it was fantastic the day I got it, it’s really better today. It works during the week if I have to wear a suit or on the weekend in jeans. It’s a simple/classic design but there is just something special about the Col.’s leather–especially when it’s embossed with my initials!

Very nice, simple wallet. Soft, clean leather throughout. Almost too nice to put in your work jeans. High Price! but well made in TN.

I got this wallet as a birthday present from my wife. When I opened the box the first thing that impressed me, outside of the look, was the smell – pure, top quality, American leather! The wallet is large enough to hold any and all necessities while remaining small enough to not be a nuisance in the back pocket. As always, classic and refined. I love the goods the Colonel produces.

This wallet was a birthday/christmas present to my father-in-law who grew up in Tenn. He used a bi-fold wallet and I looked for about two years to find the best one and this one was it. It is extremely had to find a good wallet that also has an ID window. If you could please make a trifold wallet that would be great!

Top notch quality!
Beautiful leather wallet in a simple, effective design. My man was thrilled with this as replacement for an inferior wallet of the same design. Can’t wait to see it broken in. Aloha!

My husband rarely buys something for himself. When the Colonel Littleton catalog arrived, he thumbed through. When the saw this billfold he immediately said now there’s something you can get me! Thank you!

Fantastic!
Great product. I visited Nashville, and had never previously heard of the company. I purchased the no. 4 wallet, and a card wallet. Both are great, soft, and breaking in nicely.

great product!!!! love it and would have expected nothing less than the best from the Colonel.

Beautiful product
I love the quality and style of this billfold but it was too small for my husband’s needs. I returned it hoping the Colonel would come out with a new version slighty larger, able to hold more cards.

Great wallet
I have already had one of these wallets, and it held up great for two years of rough use. I am ordering another one because I lost my old one. A great product that will last a very long time.

Softer than butter
Bought this wallet for my husband’s birthday. Father immediately requested a duplicate for his own birthday. There is no higher compliment than inter-familial envy. The quality is great – the leather is soft and already aging nicely. As always CL’s customer service was top-notch.
