甘い緩い洗脳されて
熱い自分召還できない
自己主張って禁止だっけ? Teacher
世界はもう沸騰してる
あたしはもう疾走してる
コネないし攻略法も知らない

ぼんやりチャンスを待ってても

変化(かぜ)は起こんない
笑いたい奴には笑わせりゃいい

焼けそうなこの衝動
愛してあげたいだけ
空気は読まない主義でいたい

ちっぽけな星を見上げ二人歩いた
過小評価されたまま眠れない
アイツの澄んだ目が消えない

Overall Meaning

These lyrics explore themes of self-assertion, rebellion, and the pursuit of individuality. The first verse discusses the feeling of being brainwashed and trapped in a rigid system that discourages self-expression. The singer questions the rules that prohibit them from asserting themselves and wonders what the point is if they can't be true to themselves. They express a desire to break free and run forward, even if they don't have any connections or knowledge of strategies to succeed. The chorus emphasizes the singer's indifference to societal expectations and the importance of appearances. They have a burning impulse to love and just want to be themselves, unbothered by the opinions of others. They want to live by their own rules, even if it means being rejected or underestimated by others. The lyrics also mention the image of a city sunset and walking with someone while looking at tiny stars, which symbolizes finding solace and inspiration in simple moments amidst the chaos and pressures of life.

Sorry for the off-topic and thank you very much for all your work.

I discovered your channel a few months ago and it opened the fascinating world of wallets to me. I have watched many of your videos and used the comparative tool on your website but my situation is a bit particular and I thought it merits asking you directly.

Currently, I own a monstruosity my father gifted me many years ago. I do not even know if it is a bifold, a trifold or what. It is just falling apart and it holds an absurd amount of cards.

Due to an accident I have only one arm so my needs, when it comes to something that, in theory, should be handled with two hands, are quite particular. Zippers, for example, are a no-no for me. I live in Madrid, Spain, so I would need to carry euros. The wallet should be able to hold at least 12 cards but no coins and no receipts. Price is not a problem but it should, as I mentioned, not have zippers. I have never used pull tab but I am not sure I could operate it with just one hand. I am not clumsy really, I can play with a joystick using just one hand but no matter how skilled someone is, having to use just one hand imposes some restrictions.

With all that in mind, does anything come to your mind as "perfect" for me? I was wondering if there was something you had not featured in your channel yet but that, now, you thought would be ideal for me.

Thank you for your time and attention regarding this unusual request.

Popov wallets are definitely well made and will last. I personally can't imagine packing this beast in my back pocket, but I know some people still carry trifolds. Ryan has a wallet offering for just about everyone. Great review Mark!

Yes, this isn't a wallet I would carry...people would think I had a botched Brazilian butt lift or something.

@tony_bologna

I just recently picked up one of these wallets in their latest mystery grab bag sales. What arrived was a heritage brown with red thread. Since it was part of that deal, it was only $69. Mark states in his review that his wallet is from the Kickstarter campaign. They've appeared to iterate on the design slightly since then--the cuts and stitching look more refined than in this wallet. I also have one of their traditional bi-folds and they both have almost the same dimensions when they're closed, except the bifold is actually thicker because of how the cards are stacked! I wholeheartedly recommend this wallet. The capacity is out of this world and Popov always makes well-built wallets.

I ordered their limited run Black Nantucket Card Holder, it comes in a pouch instead of cardboard packaging which I like very much. Having experienced their wallet, I still very much prefer Tanner Goods design.

@martintanz9098

Wow. I carried a tri fold for years, though probably not as nice as this one. But man, that is thick! I currently have the Mitchell leather money clip wallet, and I might be persuaded to go with a vertical style card wallet/cash wrap, but I am not going back to a tri fold.

@neilcard6583

I don't know how you can score the perception of this wallet as a 5. Yes, the leather is great quality, but... The stitching lines aren't great, the lack of any kind of burnish or finish on the edges (for this style of wallet) makes it look untidy, and don't even get me started on that horrible crumple in the leather of the billfold pocket. Obviously that won't be in every wallet, but how they would even send that to a customer in that state is beyond me. When you show the wallet from above that's the only I thing I can look at.

@walletopia

3y↑2

The perception score focuses more on the company, their customer support, presence in the market, etc, than on the product. That's handled via the other elements.

@neilcard6583

3y↑7

@@walletopia I've just come from watching your video on the scoring system that you use, and while I disagree with the usefulness of that system I do take your point about the perception score. What I perhaps should have said is I don't know how you can possibly give this wallet a score of 5 for Quality as that is the part of the score that takes into account things like finishing of edges, stitching, and workmanship. Go to 0:26 in this video and just look at that view of the wallet. Aside from the thickness of the leather there is nothing about what you're seeing there that screams quality to me. By your own scoring system 5 is meant to be the highest possible standards and this wallet is far from that.

@walletopia

3y↑2

@@neilcard6583 One of the limitations of the scoring system is that it's set up to score against only the wallet being reviewed, not compared to other wallets, which is what we do naturally. To provide a basis for proper comparison and the ability to create a basis for "like" or related wallets, I've been creating some data clusters for similar features of wallets that will demonstrate a better basis. That'll be added to the Explore site. But to your original question, about the :40 minute mark I mention that I picked this wallet up in Popov's kickstarter for this wallet and since that version 1 launch the quality has been very good. I absolutely could have expressed that more, as the sample I had did have some issues with some puckering in the leather, but all of Popov's edge burnishing is the same which is more a preference than a demonstration or good or poor quality. Personally, I like a really polished edge like we see with Benjamin Bott, but when a maker sticks to a particular style, that demonstrates consistency and becomes part of their brand.

@neilcard6583

3y↑5

@@walletopia I think you've mentioned before that the score is only about the wallet being reviewed, and not to be used as a comparison to other wallets. Frankly, that just seems illogical. Does that mean a wallet that gets a Quality score of 5 in one video may be of the same quality as a one that scores a 3 in another video? If that's the case then having a scoring system at all is pointless, and if it's not the case then you have to accept that scores are (at least to some extent) comparative. And I would have to point out that your argument that scores shouldn't be used to compare wallets is somewhat at odds with the fact that you have a "Wallet Rankings" section on the site that is sorted by score, and that the explore.walletopia graph is plotted as price vs ranking. Both of those are entirely meaningless if scores aren't meant to be comparitive.
With respect to the individual Popov wallet that you reviewed here... Normally if a reviewer has a product with a flaw they will mention the flaw (perhaps describing any mitigating circumstance for it) rather than just completely ignore it. You may have experience of other Popov wallets that lead you to believe that they would no longer put out something like this (which would be a reasonable thing to mention in the review) but as a viewer I expect that what I'm hearing from you matches the product I can actually see on the screen (ostensibly the one being reviewed), and that certainly wasn't the case here.
You've often declared in the past that we can trust your reviews to be unbiased because you pay for all the wallets yourself, but I think you are perhaps ignoring other biases you may have, particularly in cases where you like the story of the brand or company. Increasingly it appears that you are taking on the role of cheerleader rather than reviewer.

@walletopia

3y↑2

@@neilcard6583 fair enough, I could be including some bias because I do know the makers better than most people so there's a consistency that I see and thus am not too concerned if I come across a miss, but to your point, I agree I could have been more vocal about what I was seeing there. Regarding the ranking, the problem still exists that in the top down rankings, they still represent their scores, but if you think a slim card wallet is a fair comparison to a large trifold like the Popov, they're not, thus the need to sort them with "like" types to see a proper comparison in the list. What we see there is a macro version of trying to compare for example, a Trayvax Contour to the Fusion 4 wallet (that review is coming it's basically a large CNC'ed block of aluminum), it just doesn't work mentally to compare because they're so different. Thus the move I'm making to create data cluster relationships that can be used to understand how "like" products really compare in the same sphere.

When saddle leather is used for a wallet, of course it's going to be too thick.

You can always cut saddle leather (any leather) thinner, it's the choice of the maker.

The quality of finish on that wallet is dreadful. That great big fold of excess leather above the card slots is shocking for $99. For you not to have mentioned it when there is absolutely no way you could have missed it is poor. I can only assume there is some kind of affiliation!

He keeps saying "great product" and gave it 5 stars for quality, but is no one else seeing the gross way that the leather is folded over when it's shut? Badly designed for 100 bucks. I swear this guy takes money for reviews.

@walletopia

Nah, I don't take any money for reviews. Yes, the folded side was a bummer. The version I have is from a kickstarter, and I've seen the successive production runs of this wallet, it's excellent...I think I mention that in the review.
