Recycled Firefighter
Captain Wallet - Firehose Edition
Captain Wallet - Firehose Edition
A bifold wallet made in the USA from real decommissioned fire hose — wider, flatter, and built to last.
Couldn't load pickup availability
A bifold made from genuine decommissioned fire hose — a material chosen because it is close to indestructible. It is cut slightly wider than a standard bifold so it lies flat in the back pocket and spreads its weight, rather than folding into a hard lump.
The build is the point: a heavy 40-gauge ID window, a 1000D Cordura interior, double-stitched nylon thread, and military-spec binding at the edge. Because the hose is real and reclaimed, every wallet carries its own marks — yours is the only one like it.
Material & dimensions
Material & dimensions
Each wallet is one of a kind — marks and slight discolouration from the original hose are part of it.
Care
Care
Leather develops a patina with use, and an occasional light conditioning keeps it supple; woven and webbing materials need only the wipe-down.

All around, a solid, reliable, and durable wallet that doesn't feel too thick in the back pocket, and holds everything I need it too, I've had it for probably 1 1/2 years, with no issues at all, and still looks and feels like new. No fraying on any of the stitching and the binding is still holding together.
I purchased two of the captains and two of the sergeant wallets. Bought for family Christmas presents. I have been using a Recycled Firefighters captain wallet since 2019 or so. Most comfortable and long lasting billfold I've ever owned. I may lose it one day (hope not) but intend to keep one of these as a spare if ever needed. Don't think it will ever wear out.
Awesome wallet
i have purchased several RF products - including backpacks and wallets. some i have given away as gifts. others i put thru heavy use. the Captain wallet is pretty darn good. it starts stiff but ripens over time & also gets better looking. about 5 or six cards and some cash in the strap - you are good to go. simple and durable. definitely recommend. the backpacks are great too. i do wish they had a couple more loops or small pockets on the outside but overall quality is excellent. rugged.
I was wondering I'm in the fire protection industry and we throw the hoses away the inch and a quarter hundred foot long fire hoses is there a place I could send those to you guys and you can reuse them
Feels like it should last a very long time. Holds just the things you need.
Bought this wallet April of 2024. In a few months will be 1 year of having it. This is my update review on it. My first review I gave it 5 starts and I love it with no complaints. This time I still give it a 5 star. All of the card slots are still great and the cash slots are as well. Now the only thing that I'm not really liking is the longer you have it, the flatter it gets. This wallet when I bought it was flat so it wasn't very bulky. But since it is a back pocket wallet where I like to keep it, now when sitting it feels very flat and tends to hurt. Other than that everything is holding up great!
This is the 3rd I've bought (this one as a gift). Lost one after having it a few years (it was in great shape and had lived a rough life!). I immediately replaced it with a new one which I still have. The quality of these is pretty incredible. I've never even had a stitch come loose! Looking forward to buying one the bags.
Solid and very well made wallet and best of all made in the USA!!!
Definitely a well built wallet. All the room of a bi fold but spread out a bit so it's flatter. I still front pocket carry this with no issues.
Very awesome wallet. Would recommend to anyone. Quality to the most .
This is the best wallet I've ever owned. Sturdy and rides easy in my pocket. Thanks for your good craftsmanship and reasonable pricing.
I bought the Captain wallet a good while back. It really holds up well. No issues with the card holder or to put cash in. But now after having it for about 4 or 5 months or so, the clear card slot for ID is really starting to come loose now and my stuff is starting to fall out. I don't get into that slot very often. Other than that, I do love this wallet. But might have to find another wallet once this parts gives out.
A++++ perfect description and excellent product and craftsmanship! Well worth the money and will last for a long time!
Over the years I have bought many wallets from bi-fold to tri-fold. Most were too bulky and wore out in a few years. I purchased the Captain wallet a few years ago and it is still like new and not bulky like my previous wallets, yet holds the same amount of cards and bills. I purchased a second Captain as a backup and expect I will probably never have to use it but I thought I would never find another wallet of the same quality if I ever needed another one in the future.
It's a decent built wallet, heavy duty! Best part, is the purchase helps out for children's hospital in Louisville, for equipment.
Love the size and the build quality!
Second wallet I’ve purchased and could not be happier with them. Bought my so one years ago and he still uses it and now my husband has one.
Appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making these products!
Outstanding quality in materials and build! This wallet will last and hold up under all weather conditions and extensive handling. There is plenty of room for the seven or eight cards I carry, plus cash, and room for more. The outer firehose material looks great in black, and it’s very tough. This wallet is an especially great value at the good price I was offered with a coupon. Thanks for the opportunity to receive the coupon and purchase this excellent product!
Love the wallet & keychain it's my second one. Been using the sergeant and my 24 hour backpack for years. Great products
Not sure it was a gift
Small, convenient, lots of storage and not bulky like other wallets , great product and great value !!
We purchased this wallet as a gift to our firefighter friend. He loved the uniqueness and practicality. I’m glad we chose this as a gift, he loves it.
Pretty sure barring bad things,this skookum built wallet will be the last one I’ll ever need.
Utterly bombproof construction.
Like all the other items ive purchased (and a few more to select!)
Perfect for my needs. Feels like it with last a very, very long time
Great solid wallet, has great room for credit cards money & ID’s
Awesome wallet. Holds all my cards and feels quality made.
Absolutely love these wallets! Eventually I will own one of each. Great quality, perfect size, last forever
Excellent I really enjoy your products
Holds everything I need and great craftsmanship
Great wallet, nice size and thin enough to fit in a front pocket even when it’s full of cards.
The material and craftsmanship is very good quality.
Nice piece! A little tight where the bills go.
