Wallets

[alexrex20]

Breaking of old habits was well worth it - no more back or hip pains when sitting for long periods.

couldn't you just remove the wallet when you sit down? seems pretty simple.

That's what I do; not too convenient sometimes though.

You better be careful, a bandana in the back pocket can either get you shot or a date depending on the neighborhood:sombrero:

Yep! Thinking the same thing

I carry a leather Mulholland Brothers wallet, but I either stick it in the console of the jeep or I toss it in my bag. I rarely sit on it.

I started carrying this a couple of years ago and it has worked out great. Carries plenty of bills and has a slot in the middle for license, credit cards etc. For me change rattling around in my pocket irritates me. This has a place for coins under the flap. Carries great in the front pocket.

I wasn't going to click on this thread, I thought..."first there is a thread on underwear now one on wallets, what next toothpaste?" but after buying new underwear and now looking at wallet replacements I wish this portal would get on the NYSE so I could buy stock! I spend more money because of this website! Sorry...carry-on!:coffeedrink:

Eagle Creek makes a fabric bi-fold that REI sells for like $12. Much thinner than a tri

I'm a big fan of Tom's of Maine if we want to kick off that thread.....:wings:

I just bought a Filson wallet last week. I have every expectation to be carrying it 5 years from now.

Like many other posters, I noticed that I was starting to feel the wallet in my back and hips. Now the only time my wallet is in my pocket is when I'm walking somewhere with it. I take it out when I get home and I take it out when in the car.

Back when Cordura wallets first came out I was given one. I carried it for 10+ years and I still have it. I don't like that it's bill pocket is a bit too small and is awkward to get bills in and out of. Were it not for that I'd just continue to use it. Every time my current wallet expires I dig it out and use it until I get another. It must be, what, close to 30 years old now? It shows it's age, but is still quite serviceable. None of the replacement cordura wallets have lasted anywhere near as long.

My current wallet is a surfing brand name that I can't recall. It is black leather (sorry BK!) and is the first leather wallet that I've ever had. So far, so good. Coming up on 3 years old and doesn't show it.

I use a standard leather bifold, mine is made by columbia, has a nice place for the DL, and a few cards, and of course some of that green stuff people use instead of debit cards. It rides in my front pocket (after being picked in Mexico when I was 18 or so), A little thick right now because of all the "store" cards, not credit, but those stupid ones you need to get a decent price at the grocery store. Hate those. I thin it out about once a year. Had this one for 3-4 years, starting to fray at the edges, but the stitches are holding strong. Not recommending it one way or the other, but the standard leather bi-fold is my wallet of choice...

I have always struggled withthe wallet thing. However 5 years ago I got my first Taxi Wallet. My wife just got me my second one for Christmas last year. As far As I am concerned this is the only wallet I will use.

Call me old fashioned; but personally I prefer a small old fashioned leather wallet; can get wet, bashed about, burnt and the documents, receipts and money inside remain reasonably intact. Clean the junk out every 6 months or so; get a new one every 5 years or so.

Small enough to fit inside a front pocket, but big enough to know that it is there. Wallet and small change in right pocket, phone and car keys in left and I know where everything is.

For overseas travel, I also use a no name waterproof wallet that is just big enough to hold passports and can only be removed from my front pocket with extreme difficulty

Nothing screams “tourist” more than Bum bags, money belts or wallets suspended from the neck.
