Wallet thread - what are you carrying?

[Nader393]

Made my own out of pipe-fitter's tape. Only gets noticed at checkout by guys in the know (DIY, tradesmen, etc).

Minimalist wallets are where its at. Nobody likes to carry a boat load of cards around with them anymore. I found my current wallet (can't remember the name) here: (admin note: link appears spammy.)

Just picked up this Bleu de Chauffe from Mr P on sale. Made in France.

Bought this one last week on Amazon. It's very very small I was surprised. Fits easily in any pocket with no disturbance.

Stitchless construction makes it ridiculously lightweight. After 1.5 years of everyday use, there is almost no sign of wear.

A unique alternative to luxury standards.

I have a dark green shell wallet from Ashland Leather, it's a bit taller than a regular wallet but it's relatively flat and can hold a passport in the currency pocket, which, is important for me since I travel a lot for work

Just bought an Ettinger card case. Besides this awful color combination, what are people's opinions, experiences on their products?

Info on them is so stark, I'm still not sure if this is Made in England or not, if it's machine stitched, where they get their leather from etc.

For a smaller company you'd assume they would try to educate their consumers on their products.

@dieworkwear would you know at all?

I interviewed the head of the company about seven years ago. Assuming the information is still the same, all the products are either made in-house at their factory or by local outworkers. So all made in England. Products are machine sewn.

They make good products.. It's basically a heritage British leather goods company.

I just bought this bad boy. Pretty amazing wallet but you do how it's not the cheapest. Hopefully, it lasts but so far it's perfect. Great size, great storage, little pull tabs for easy access to cards and the design is half leather half carbon fiber. I think it's made by Frenchie co or something like that.

I am in the market for a new wallet seeing the American Eagle one I've had since being an underclassman in high school is starting to fall apart.

I am wondering if anyone could make any reliable recommendations for a bifold under $100?

I am currently considering one by Jack Erwin (pebble grain and made in Portugal), and an Italian made brand called "Gudi" on Amazon.

I'm also in the market for a passport holder in the same price range too.

This is the minimalist wallet I carry today. Fairly thin and has a great patina. Highly recommended. Only thing lacking is RFID protection. Popov leather

This is the best wallet I think I've ever had. leather by Denning & Kane London. 8 card slots and 2 compartment for notes. I searched on the web for it as I couldn't be arsed charging my phone just to take and upload a photo. Here it is and it seems TK Maxx are selling it for £12.99. I paid £40 for mine but I'm not whinging as it's worth every penny. Prior to that my go to wallet was a Docker that folded into 3 but was a bit fat.

My simple Marni card wallet, I've ditched the traditional wallet and no ragrats. My back and posture thanks me for it, no more bulging back pocket!
