[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wallet recommendations

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.

Dockers makes a very nice trifold one. Many, many pockets.

ETA: Fossil is also pretty good.

You should get one that fits nicely into your back pocket.

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.

Geez... just get a purse like me. It can hold a ton of stuff.

I keep my wallet, phone, knife, lipstick, my compact, blush and eye shadow....

I have a black leather trifold. Made in America!

Get a coach billfold.

I love mine, I have had it for a year now, and it looks still brand new.

Stafford (JCPenny) tri-fold is very soft leather...probably hand crafted in China...inexpensive and comfortable.

Mine is probably comfortable because I don't have anything to fill it with

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.

Aside from damaging your skia-tia-wawa-something nerve, putting your wallet in your front pocket is better in the event of pickpockets. Easier to feel someone reaching in.

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

I have a front pocket money holder/money clip made by Bosca. 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.

A money clip and a rubber band is all you need.

You can really load up a SpecOps T.H.E. wallet.

I've had mine two years and the only wear is the paint off of the brass grommets.

IT ROCKS

I wear my IDs around my neck, some cash and my credit cards in my front pocket in a glorified money clip with a pocket (this seems to be quite the trend now - as I have seen "front pocket wallets" for sale in many places.

No real "wallet.

By the way, I clip bulk cash together and carry it elsewhere

I've had a plain old three-fold wallet that I bought at JC Penny several years ago. A bit beat up now, but still functional.

Did a bit of digging, here it is.
