Kirby Posted February 10, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2020 I have a favorite wallet for at home and one for travel. My home wallet is an old fashioned "french purse" with two sections for bills, a lot of credit card slots that are useful for various insurance cards, store cards, shuttle cards etc, and a big change area. When I travel I have a much more slimmed down wallet, but still like two bill compartments and enough credit card slots. Don't care about change part of a wallet when I travel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted February 10, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2020 I've been using this Ridge wallet now for a few years and love it I was looking for a thin, simple, no frills wallet and came across this one in an internet search. Little pricey, but worth it IMO. Last wallet ever. The only other person who I know that has one is my LBS owner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to sit on it, I'd probably opt for the strap to hold in money, in lieu of the clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted February 10, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2020 I had a bi-fold wallet that I used for close to 40 years. I replaced it just 2 weeks ago fof a front pocket wallet. I looked at the Ridge wallet that @bikeman564™ uses but for some reason ended up with this. It's taking some getting use to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr Posted February 10, 2020 Share #14 Posted February 10, 2020 Wallet shopping used to be so easy. Go to the mall and hit the menswear department of the major department stores and also check out Bag and Baggage, Wilson's Leather and Things Remembered. If you could not find a wallet at Sanger Harris, or Lord and Taylor or Sears, you really did not need a wallet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn Posted February 10, 2020 Share #15 Posted February 10, 2020 One year at Chrstmas time after my workout the owner of the fitness center was buying drinks for people. He pulled out his wallet to pay for the drinks and he had a duck tape wallet. This is the wealthiest person I have ever known. I went home and made one but I didn’t like the one I made. I use a leather bi-fold with lots of slots for cards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted February 10, 2020 Share #16 Posted February 10, 2020 I recently got a Swiss Gear bifold wallet but there is no cash sleeve so it’s considerably smaller than a traditional wallet. It has a clear plastic bit to put your ID behind and then several card sleeves on either side. As I rarely carry cash I really like it. Also, it’s so small it fits neatly in a jersey pocket. Before I would take my ID, ATM & Insurance card out of my wallet for each ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD Posted February 11, 2020 Share #25 Posted February 11, 2020 I own 5 different credit cards I regularly use to max. my cash-back some other credit card-sized loyalty cards and membership cards plus a drivers license & insurance card, a lifetime park admission card, fishing license, health insurance cards, etc. So I need a wallet with a lot of slots/pockets for them, as well as a window for drivers license and some hidden slots for a park admission card, fishing license, health insurance cards, etc. A small zippered pocket helps to hold things like a tiny eyeglasses screwdriver kit. The one below fits the needs and I like it so much: it's like a bifold wallet where the one side has a side-flip additional side. I order a new one every couple years and I keep an extra new one in a drawer in case they stop selling them - and I can't find it anymore. A store called "Gem Avenue" in Charlotte, NC, sold them at various online places like Amazon, but no more. I list two similar but more expensive ones below which I've put on my Amazon wish list for when mine wear out: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder Posted February 11, 2020 Share #26 Posted February 11, 2020 Bi-fold, nylon wallet by Eagle Creek. It has lasted well over the years. I have a small bi-fold leather card holder that I carry in a front pocket for important cards, etc., and it is easy to carry when cycling. I think it is custom made from bison or cattle hide. It is getting a bit worn, and I need a new one. However, all the new ones I see are fancier and not as tough as I like. I sweat a lot, so they need to last, just like my watch bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR46 Posted February 11, 2020 Share #29 Posted February 11, 2020 Now that I'm retired I don't really use a wallet. If I go to the store I throw a few bucks in my pocket and walk to the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted February 11, 2020 Share #30 Posted February 11, 2020 It needs to made of leather, so it will expand/bend with more cards, some bills. And preferably not black, so I can it quickly in my purse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD Posted February 11, 2020 Share #32 Posted February 11, 2020 Damn invasion of privacy!
