The Boatswain v3 is a flat leather card holder — same slim profile as the Venturer v2, but with a wider body that fits six to nine cards and a dedicated cash pocket. If you've been using the Venturer and running out of slots, this is the natural next step.
Six is the comfortable carry. Nine is possible once the leather has broken in — it starts snug and loosens over the first few weeks. The cash pocket is designed for bills folded in thirds — keeps them flat and retrievable without a billfold compartment adding bulk.
Six cards and a few bills is the load it was built for.
Most card holders just say "genuine leather." That tells you nothing. Here's exactly what you're getting:
All full-grain — the top layer of the hide, not corrected or bonded scraps. Built to outlast a few phones.
If you carry fewer than six cards and don't need cash on you, the Venturer v2 is the slimmer choice at $64. If you need a bifold with proper bill compartments, look at the Buccaneer instead.
How many cards does the Boatswain v3 hold?
Six is the comfortable carry. Nine is possible once the leather has broken in — it starts snug and loosens over the first few weeks.
What's the triple-fold cash pocket?
It's a dedicated slot sized for bills folded in thirds. Keeps your cash flat and separate from your cards without adding the bulk of a billfold compartment.
Does the leather scratch?
Crazy Horse (Rusty) marks with use — that's the pull-up characteristic and most scratches rub out with your thumb. Koala (Black, Cigar) and Ponte Wax (Tan, Natural) are smoother and mark less.
Will the leather stretch?
Yes, a little, in the first few weeks. It starts snug and breaks in to fit your carry. Normal for full-grain leather.
How do I care for it?
Not much needed. Keep it out of the wash. A small amount of leather conditioner once or twice a year if it looks dry. It'll look better with age.
Who makes it and where?
I do, by hand, in my workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine. Every order ships with a handwritten note. We've shipped 7,000+ orders and earned 600+ five-star reviews.
Pick your leather and add to cart. Ships within a few days, handmade and ready to carry.
Most edges get one coat of paint and call it done. Ours don’t.
I learned a polishing method from an old shoemaker I met in my grandma’s village. He walked me through it once, years ago. I lost touch with him not long after. It took me 5 years to build my own compound formula around what he taught me — that part’s mine, and it’s staying that way.
Now every edge gets seven hand-polished passes before it leaves my bench. No shortcuts. No paint sealing it shut. Just leather, polished the old way, until it holds a shine on its own.
Run your thumb along it. That’s the difference.
Hey, I’m Vitalii — the maker behind Pirate Goods. I’ve been hand-stitching every wallet, sheath, and organizer in my Kyiv workshop since 2020. If anything’s ever off with your order, message me directly — I answer every email myself.
Vitalii, thank you for your craftsmanship in my Boatswain wallet! It's beautiful and exactly as described on your website. I looked at about a dozen of others and picked Pirate Goods. Thank you, sir!
Hi Paul, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you love the Boatswain wallet. It was a pleasure crafting it for you. Enjoy! Cheers, Vitalii
Excellent craftsmanship, quality materials. You can tell he puts his heart into each piece. Quick shipping all the way to the US as well!
Thank you Austin! I'm glad you got this feeling :)
The quality is awesome. It is truly beautiful and works great
Was very pleased with the quality and simplicity of this wallet. And communication went smoothly with quick responses.
I love this wallet! Skilled craftsman with quality leather. Adds a very manly, classy touch to my edc. Very pleased.
I ordered the V3 just as the V4 released and the seller was kind enough to upgrade me to the V4 free of charge. This wallet is amazing, if you're looking for a quality minimalist wallet, look no further. I've had different slim wallets, and this one is quite possibly the slimmest one I've owned, without sacrificing the quality of the leather. If you're searching for a wallet like this, you won't be disappointed by purchasing this one.
This is exactly what I was looking for. What appeals to me most about Pirate goods are the great designs. That paired with the quality materials and craftsmanship makes it an easy choice. I also got another one of these for a secret Santa gift. Thanks Vitalii 🙏
Excellent wallet
It was so much more than I expected
I hope to have it many years from now
Absolutely perfect and amazing craftsmanship!
This is a high quality minimalist leather wallet. It was made and packed with care. I have no doubt this will last a lifetime.
Really good workmanship, maker is a master of his craft. The leather is outstanding, love the Ukraine colors and Byzantine look of leather. Top notch!
I have had the new wallet a couple of weeks now and so far I love it.
Master craftsman. Love the smell too. I bought the Venturer 2 and i love both of them. Definitely worth the price when you find someone who cares about their craft this much.
Thank you Vitalii
I am extremely happy with this wallet. It's so well made and the quality of the product is second to none!
I will definitely order more products from pirate goods and would totally recommend their brand.
Thank you so much Leonardo for a good feedback.
My first wallet was stolen while I was visiting New York City so I had to order another wallet. Definitely one of my favorite wallets great quality and why I purchased a third as a backup.
Thank you for support! Hope that’s not a last purchase :)
Solid wallet. Fantastic for everyday carry. Definitely for the man who doesn't need to carry around a large number of cards, cash etc. to get though his day. Love the leather and overall quality of the piece. Nice work guys.
Thanks so much Matt! Hope that's not a last purchase from ya :)
