Tired of buying crappy wallets
Don't want to get into the wallet/money clip debate. I need a wallet, preferably bi-fold, and thin! But it also needs to hold my driver's license and 4-6 credit card size cards, along with cash of course. I am tired of buying crap wallets that leave their leather dye on my cards!

I have a Paul Smith wallet...standard black on the outside with a cool chick on the inside. It's high quality and thin. I used to have an LV wallet that my ex bought me, but it was too large (in both LxW as well as thickness).

I use this:
http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=11&idproduct=86 REALLY thin, room enough on the front pouch for the drivers license, debit card and credit card, then enough room for those extras inside. I fold cash in half and place it in the middle, but I don't regularly carry cash anymore. It's held up well over the last 4-5 years and expect to get many more years out of it.

A wide rubber band off a bunch of broccoli is all that is needed.

I've bought expensive ones in the past and they all were junk in a year or two. I bought a Croft & Barrow from Kohls for about $30 and I've had it for about 5 years now and it still looks great. I'll probably get another 3-5 years out of it. I will buy C&B from now on.

I did notice the Paul Smith designer wallet was only single stitched...I usally look for two rows of stitching.

Have not carried a wallet in 20 years.
Don't miss it. One of my favorite lines, Oh God 2. Boy asks God if he regrets anything. God says, "Pockets" Boy asks why. God says, "with pockets comes things to put in them"

Geezus guys. I bought the one I have now at a gas station convenience store for six bucks and it's the best one I've ever owned. Only slightly larger than the size of a standard credit or business card. Room for a few bills (cash), my DL and two debit cards. That's about all I need to be carrying around at any given time. I certainly don't need to be paying $100 or $200 (or more) on a wallet.
