A New Wallet

[modern man]

I guess I'll have to stick with a paper clip, then.

Anyone have change for a button?

Yes, 2 thumb tacks and a rubber band right?

That's the going rate.

Got cleaned out playing strip dreidel over the weekend.

That's huge..what do you carry in there??? Should have gone with the very slim Coach..love mine. I'll show it to you sometime.

After lots of looking, one purchase-and-return, I settled on the Water Buffalo Compact ID Wallet.

It seems almost perfect. It's small, but still has a full length bill compartment.

Looks good...thanks for the update.

My wife just bought me a Bosca wallet in the old leather line. It is a beautiful cognac color. I absolutely love it and I highly recommend.

I'm very happy with the Buxton Double ID Passcase that I purchased over a year ago. All leather, one flip out ID window is stitched in, the other is removable. A thick bill-fold style that you know is in your pocket, although removing the one ID case from it slims it down. I got it at Sears.

I've tried other brands and they haven't lasted for me, they usually start to fall apart after a year. Stafford has proven to be about the worst brand out there in that regard. A Dockers brand wallet wasn't much better in longevity either. I've also found that the thinner wallets allow the plastic that I carry in them to bend and break, so I'm really liking this heavy one that I have now. Not bad for about $24.00.

These wallets are unsurpassable:

They are from the Italian/Florentine brand The Bridge/Il Ponte:

i had a coach water buffalo wallet that cost me about $80. it wore out in a few years. it was a great design, and when new the leather was really nice. but i wasn't happy with how long it lasted.

i replaced it with a $10 leather no-name wallet that never wore out, but this one recently got bumped by

very, very thin. i carry it in my front pocket and can't even tell that it is there.

i do miss the feel of leather, however.

If their Mozzarella is any indication, they should also make a great wallet.

A few years ago I decided to shrink my wallet size greatly, and I have never looked back. I like the style with a money clip for easy access. I have one of these, monogrammed, and it is a great wallet at a reasonable price.

I have also given up on the full size wallet. I have a very small wallet where I keep a few cards and IDs. Then seperate from my wallet I have a money clip. I hate having things in my pocket, the fewer the better, or the smaller the better. Having had a big wallet, once you give it up you will never go back, because who really needs that Marriott Rewards Card when they have it on file when you check in.

I use a $5.00 Bugle Boy wallet I bought about 10 years ago. It's got another decade left in it easy. I keep my money seperate in a clip but I do keep my credit cards in my wallet. I use the credit cards the most so the wallet sees a lot of action.

My wife bought me a wallet made from rip-stop nylon. It's very good and when opened carried cards in a 2x2 array, saving lots of room. It also has two pockets for money and receipts.

Best of all, when loaded it won't dent your behind.
