Wallets - Picking a good one

JimmyCrackCorn

I got a gift of a wallet a while back and the slagging I am getting to is a little bit embarrassing. The words purse were used on a number of occasions.:pac:

So what should I look for in a wallet as I need to replace the one I have just accentually on purpose lost.


So any recommendations on a reasonable sized wallet for a few cards and a few notes.

My main 2 criteria are it has to hold at least 6 cards, and that in the main compartment there is a divider so you can keep money and things like receipts separate

If you have a pouch with a button for change your a proletariat

Whats your budget like ? Brown Thomas in Dublin have some nice ones, but you will pay a bit for them. Have a look at some Paul Smith wallets, some of them are quite nice.

I'm in oz so ill have to find the Ozzie equivalent of BT. No issue paying for a nice wallet as long as I get good use out of it.

What kind of paper you making over their in Oz. If you're a big roller you should get one of those long rectangular wallets. and a top hat

If i was a high roller id have a money roll and an entourage of midget strippers but this is reality.

I hate wallets, I always find them bulky and awkward. Plus, if you loose it or it is stolen you loose everything.

Pockets all the way guys!

This is the wallet I use. I find very handy as its compact and my two most used cards are very easy to get out.

money clip for me.

Wallets need to be able to hold at least 6 cards, coin pocket and ones for notes.

Personally I'd be put off by the coin pocket. Too purse like IMO. Coins in my (right) pocket.

Bifold, 8 card slots. black leather, simples.

8 cards, split main compartment, genuine black leather...
Next time I'm in the market for a wallet, I will get one similar to this again but with the addition of a coin section, like this or this

Thats the favorite one I have, handmade.

I've had a fair few wallets over the years, don't like black for some reason. 6 cards are a minimum and tbh I like the coin pouches, I'm always taking the wallet out and sending coins flying without one

Weird, I came here to recommend BigSkinny wallets, and an ad for them came up on this page. Anyway, I use one, I've had it for a year, I have about 10 cards in it and a few notes. It folds very flat so goes into my pocket very easily. Fairly cheap too.

There is a bag/luggage shop on Liffey street opposite that Gaming shop. Inside they used to have a huge selection of wallets, though not sure if they still do.

Andy!!

I like those long ones, not sure what they're called. Hard to find a good selection in Dublin.
