Wallet recommendations

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wallet recommendations

AR_Shorty Team Member Joined Jun 2001 Posts 845 EE Offline PA, USA	Posted: 8/17/2004 11:16:52 AM EDT I need a new wallet as mine has seen better days. The pending CCW has sparked my interest in finally getting a new one to carry it in. Anyone have any brand/style recommendations and any good on-line sources. I'm kinda partial to the three way fold wallets, but I'm open minded.
	Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

I bought the Kohl's brand (Sonoma, I think) several years ago and have been happy with it. It's a trifold. The other day I was reading that sitting on a wallet at work or whatever can damage your sciatic nerve and that you shouldn't do it. Next time I may get a smaller one that is easier to put in a front pocket when I'm going to be sitting down for extended periods of time.

for your feminine side

Man's purse, Gilded red morocco leather

$8,500

French Late 17th to Early 18th century Width 16.5 cm Height 14.5 cm. Goat skin was used to make this man's purse.Dyed red then tool stamped and finally gold leaf stamped. The clasp and chains are steel. It is a two pleat accordion design. Inside the purse is a small side pocket with flap. The amazing thing about this morocco leather is its pristine condition. Most often tooled leather from this period has deteriorated, but this purse has been well looked after.

my skia-tia-wawa-something nerve is beyond repair from just such a practice. Now i just use the wallet to conceal the bulge of the 1911 barrell in my waistband

It has several pockets to hold credit cards, driver's license and CCW and a clip on the outside to put money. I like it. Fits into your front pocket nicely.

I once worked in an office that brought in a workplace safety guy one year to make sure we didn't get carpal tunnel syndrome, or blow nuts lifting shit without back braces. One year he told all of us males we were going to have all kinds of bad things happen to us if we didn't chuck our wallets in the trash and get man purses. I still hae the POS buffalo hide wallet I was carrying that day, still carry it every day, and nothing bad yet! Man purses are a myth, any man who carries a purse is liekly to try and cop a feel if you get stuck in an elevator with him.

No real "wallet. By the way, I clip bulk cash together and carry it elsewhere
