In my calvi, I carry 6 cards on one side and some business cards on the other. And I manage to have some cash stuffed in there folded in quarters. I’ve had mine since December use it every day and no noticeable wear on my chèvre.

Just chiming in that I just bought a Calvi in bleu nuit Evercolor and I think it would also work great for a guy - the leather is sturdy but more supple than Epsom. Can’t really go wrong with any combo though!
1. Yes, DH loves his.
2. I have no issues with my Epsom Calvis wearing on the corners. Love them. My Chevre Calvis are much more beat up. Love them too.
3. The softer the leather the looser it will get if he overstuffs it. This can be good or bad depending on his purpose and point of view. Epsom stretches less so things fall out of my Epsom less, but it might not be as comfortable to wear stuffed because it will resist conforming. YMMV. Having said that, think of this as a little folder of sorts for containing small items. Nothing really falls out unless one sort of haphazardly flings it open. To me, it doesn’t really require any more presence of mind than a normal wallet.
4. No issues holding US cash. Just fold in the middle. If you carry only $100 bills you don have to carry so many.
Agree with Etriers! I’m a guy and would routinely carry my chevre calvi in my pocket- I actually found the Epsom to be much sturdier... Be careful with lighter color calvis, especially if your DH wears denim!
Chevre Mysore: $380 USD
Chevre Chamkila: $440 USD
I don’t know on box and Barenia. I’m hoping for a black box calvi myself one day.
I don’t, sorry. I am not responsible enough to have an SLG in smooth leather

@csetcos can you share the cost of your box calvi?
Box calvi is $550 CAD, so the price in USD will be approximately $415-420?
First time I have seen a Calvi like this, taken from the UK website: https://www.hermes.com/uk/en/product/calvi-sailor-tattoo-card-holder-H078332CKAA/
They are seasonal, take a look here for more:
Limited edition calvi card holders
Hello, please forgive my lack of Hermès knowledge. I’ve been looking at some calvi card holders recently to buy and I saw one at a store with the sailor tattoo. The woman explained every year there are limited editions and this was last seasons. I discovered there was a robot version. My...

)The porc calvi was $620 and the bastia $490!! YIKES! And you see why I was kicking myself for an entire year because I turned one down in the UK last year ( where it is significantly less) because I couldn't rationalize that AND a gorgeous barenia card case- I know, what a dope! ( and the porc calvi is probably more rare, so although I have been insanely lucky, I guess that makes me a total dope!)
My latest calvi addition - graphite gator (apologies not the best lighting).
Just got it from the H website, waiting for it to come! That would be my first Calvi...
It's still available on the French website!
