The Boatswain v4 is the updated Boatswain — same size (3.94" × 2.95"), same six-to-nine card capacity, same triple-fold cash pocket. The upgrade: finger cutouts on both sides so you can grab cards without digging. If you’ve used a v3 and wanted easier card access, this is it.
The v3 had straight slot openings. The v4 adds cutouts on both sides — you can get your thumb in cleanly and pull a card without tipping the wallet. Small change, noticeable in daily use.
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.
If the finger cutouts don’t matter to you, the Boatswain v3 covers the same carry. If you need a bifold with cash compartments, look at the Buccaneer.
What’s the difference between the Boatswain v3 and v4?
Same size, same capacity. The v4 adds finger cutouts on both sides for faster card access. The v3 has straight slot openings. The v4 also comes in different leather colorways.
How many cards does it hold?
Six to nine. Six is the comfortable carry — two per pocket — plus folded bills in the cash pocket.
Does it block RFID?
No — and I’ll be straight about why. Someone scanning your pocket to steal a card is very rare in real life, and your bank covers fraud anyway. I’d rather give you thin, clean leather than a metal liner adding bulk for a problem most people never hit.
Does the leather scratch?
Crazy Horse (Rusty, Pistachio) marks with use — most scratches rub out with your thumb. Everything else is smoother and marks less.
How do I care for it?
Keep it out of the wash. A small amount of leather conditioner once or twice a year if it looks dry.
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.

Wallet is better than I thought it was going to be!! Amazing soft supple leather and my personal choice of leather and stitching!
If you are looking for a wallet to last you until you go to the grave or want something to pass on to someone you love” just buy them their own you won’t want to let this one go” V is making them!!
Impeccable craftsmanship!
Unbeatable price !
And on top of it all super helpful !
Thank you so much !!!
The perfect coin holder and front pocket wallet. The coin holder will fit all size military challenge coins as well. Perfect combo for daily use. Thanks!
I purchased two wallets. A Boatswain v2 red and a v4 green. I have to say they're really cool. Vitalii has an attention to detail that other companies should follow. Never been excited for a wallet and I can't wait to "unintentionally" show them off.
I also bought the Compass - Apple airtag EDC leather keychain and a couple of Pirate Goods Pins. Very happy with my items and I highly recommend.
This is an amazing wallet, and I am SO PLEASED with it!! The fit and finish is superb, and it just exudes quality.
Vitalii was easy to communicate with and work with on the customizations I wanted. He was friendly, patient and very responsive. I had him modify his design to change the back pocket to be a flap and to add a coin pocket for my magnifying glass on the front!! It came out so fantastic! I cannot recommend his work enough!! I eagerly look forward to purchasing from Vitalii again, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his work.
** In the picture, you may not be able to notice that I have overstuffed my wallet, yet the stitching and lines still remain perfectly straight. **
Another positive worth noting is that he made and shipped my wallet very quickly - much quicker than I expected.
exactly what I was looking for. super compact very well built and the quality seems amazing. would 100% buy another wallet from them.
The wallet looks great! Exactly what I was looking for
Beautiful work! Excellent craftsmanship and overall just a great experience with this vendor. I will definitely be coming back for more and highly recommend Vitalii’s Pirate Goods!
Thanks a lot Carolyn! Can't wait to see your next choise :)
I actually requested this in pistachio leather before that was an option, and the seller was easy to communicate with and happy to oblige! This is my second boatswain v4... I liked the first so much, I wanted it in that cool green leather. Securely holds about 6 cards for me right now, one in each side pocket, four in the middle. Could hold more, but I don't want to stretch it. Smooth enough that it's barely noticable in my pocket and won't wear out the fabric over time. Very happy with this!
Perfectly simple. Quality leather. Smart design and well crafted. Impeccable customer service.
Thanks a lot Thomas! Hope that’s not a last purchase from you ;)
The wallet is awesome. Holds all of my cards snugly and is very compact. I maxed it out at 7 cards which makes the money slot in the middle slightly difficult to get to. With less cards the money slot is more accessible.
Overall great product and would highly recommend!
The wallet is exactly as described; the leather feels high quality, craftsmanship is good, no loose threads, edges are beautiful polished, and the whole design is slim and holds everything tightly. Exactly what it should be; thanks!
I’ve been eyeing this piece for a while and just made the switch from my burnt titanium Ridge wallet. This wallet is beautiful, lightweight, and the leather feels great in hand. Thank you
It is great. I changed everything over from my old wallet. Yesterday to my new card holder etc. I absolutely 💯 love it it held all of my cards & other things as well. The craftsmanship on it is terrific. U can also tell that it's most definitely tell it's real leather. As soon as I took it out of the package. Thatvit came in. I was extremely satisfied. 😁😁😁😁
love the wallet its very high quality leather and like the finger cutout very helpful when pulling a card out 10/10
Thanks a lot Bryan!
This wallet is gorgeous, functional, minimalistic. I love it so much. It is everything I could hope for!!!
I think my favorite thing is the Pirate Goods stamp!!!
My new favorite EDC wallet!
Thank you so very much! Wanna combine it with a knife sheath or small edc pouch in the same color? :)
