"Men usually don't buy wallets, they receive them as gifts", is it true in your experience? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Apparently it's a trend that most men just receive wallets rather than buying them

Its a very thin layer of leather on the outside and very thin layers of fabric on the inside. It is 2 credit cards tall, so depending on how many cards you have, you distribute them across 4 pockets. The billfold section is split into a shallow and a deep compartment, so you can arrange things at 2 levels, if you want. I rarely carry cash, so that part usually just has some small notes or receipts or nothing at all.

So it is partly the layout and partly the materials that keeps it thin. "Nice" wallets are usually all leather or mostly leather, which makes them much thicker and tri-folds are the worst.
