High cost wallet, anyone?
 

Hey, if you ever wanted to $pend 200 to 300 smackers on an all hand made & stitched wallet made from carefully selected leather, here's your guy. Expect a year or so wait for delivery...the waiting list is long. Here's his website if you wish to shop styles & prices.

I have a plastic case on my iPhone. 3 cards. Nothing else. It’s awesome.

I did buy a cheap Velcro “drop” wallet for when I travel to high crime areas. Haven’t needed it yet. Thankfully.

Uh, no.

Nope for me.

I have a Bando Dash wallet. Nice and thin, and I can carry all the ID, medical, credit cards with some analog business cards. And even 60 to 80 bucks in cash for the OMG emergencies.

My current wallet is a cloth velcro closure WalMart special that is as old as dirt. Oddly enough it still holds on to whatever I put in it.

Mine? Old leather tri fold thing...think I paid $20 or so. But what happened to all the high end pocket knives & luxury watch guys here? I thought they'd want to complete their image?

I wait for the $20 wallets I like are on sale for $4 or $5 and then buy two. They last a few years...and then I do it again.

I have an Ekster switch blade wallet that my brother-in-law used in a commercial when Ekster sponsored one of his videos.

Anybody remember those eel skin wallets from the 80s? I had one to go along with my Members Only jacket. [emoji38]

The last few years, all I carry is my drivers license and a credit card.

I would, I could, but by the time I'd paid for the wallet I wouldn't have any money left to put in it.

I tend to use those synthetic canvas looking wallets made by Rip curl. They have all the compartments you could ever want but are still slim and skinny enough to easily slide into your pocket. And they last many years.

I like it.

LOL, I’m rocking a genuine leather from TJ Maxx.:D That’s right I’m judging you Velcro boys!

As someone who appreciates craftsmanship, I don't get it. Seems like an odd design and I'm going to guess not really functional.

Me, I saw the $125 Ridge hard micro wallets posted here years ago. Googled the image and found the exact same carbon flake one for $17. That was well over 5 years ago, still works great.

That was only one of his 50+ designs. Take your pick here:

What is funny? The economic status of this group is much higher than average. And so far there isn’t much of an enthusiasm for a luxury product.

Interesting conclusions can be made.

I’ve had an Il Bisonte for about 20 years. I used to live next to their shop in NYC that was on Sullivan Street. I would go in there and drool but couldn’t afford anything in there. The day before I moved out for good I splurged on it and it’s clearly going to last my entire lifetime. Well worth the $150 or so that it was back then. Been in my pocket every day since. Have a few other items from them and all amazing quality.

Indeed...especially in light of the wristwatch and other threads...

My $310 wallet would have 3 Benjamins inside :D

Bought a Ghurka trifold wallet in 1998 (when they were on sale).
Sale price was about $35 iirc. Still looks almost new, so I'm sub $2 a year.

What's really funny about that is I have a spare that I bought at the same time still in the paper.
I'll be dead long before I need a new wallet.

I have a Fossil Ingram Leather Magnetic Multicard Wallet. Must be 30 years old, use it daily, no wear, just a perfect used patina.

About $20 back then, seems to be $50 now.

I'd replace with the same, but I'm sure it will outlast me.

I quit carrying a wallet years ago because of sitting on an uneven seat was bothering my back.
I'll probably never go back to carrying one.

Front Pocket since High school.

I used to switch from back to front in a crown, harder to pick-pocket, then I just got in the habit of it there.

A tangent, with a return to the OP.

When I was a kid, working at a grocery store, there was this guy who would take out his wallet, carefully go through the folding money and select just enough legal tender - always crisp and new, freshly minted, - and slowly, carefully return the wallet to his hip pocket. Then he'd reach into his front pocket and take out this weird leather case, it opened and closed like a camera shutter, and very slowly and earnestly get correct change out, and carefully return the pouch to his pants pocket.

I'll never forget that little pouch. It was super thin leather, I recall it was red, or once red, a little bigger and thicker than a silver dollar.

I hope I gave him respect, but being 18, I most likely gave him disdain and attitude. Sorry bud. I haven't always lived up to the ideal, and some shameful reflection is my penance.


Anyway, LWJ gave me the link to the phone case that holds credit cards. That's a life changer. One less thing (Wallet) to have to think about when I'm out doing stuff.
Testicles, spectacles, wallet,, phone, keys.
But I do have to make sure I double check the cc's haven't somehow fallen out - so far, so good!)
