A good Wallet

yourdeadwright · 30-06-2014 3:06pm #1

Hello Chaps
Like a fool i lost my wallet over the weekend thankfully there wasn't much cash in it, just bank cards and other cards that can and have been replaced,.
Now the thing that really annoyed me was losing the wallet itself,
It was a beauty ,nice leather one, small, tidy and neat. I bought while in Italy a few years back,
My question to you good folks is where would i get a nice one from now, any recommendations

Thanks

The mothers dog got at my 10 year old wallet recently and I wanted to get a decent one at a cheap price.

In the end I went for Alpine Swiss off amazon and I wasnt disappointed and it was about €12 if i remember correctly. i was looking for one with a coin pocket so it was tougher to find one to suit me, but the one I got is nice and flat and fits notes easily and has room for all my cards, and 2 "secret" pockets behind the cards and coin pocket

Mines still in perfect condition and it goes everywhere with me.

Someone gave me a very generous present of one of these about 6 years ago.

It honestly has not aged a day since I got it. So if you win the lotto tonight you know which wallet to get!

Jaysus if I lost that I'd be more worried about the wallet itself than the pesky cash + cards!

Bought one of these last week.

I HATE wallets with a passion, prefer just to have nothing in my pockets. But will be travelling a bit soon so needed to keep different cards in the same space.

Comes with money clip.

Have to say very happy with it, Its slim without being too intrusive, takes my cards and cash and its stylish.

Anyone thats seen me take it out of my pocket has commented on it and its origin.

Comes in vary colours also.

Congrats on finding it. If you're still thinking about replacing it google "Secrid". Great wallets and you don't keep cracking your cards.

Why would someone need 2 wallets?:D

Gatame · 07-07-2014 5:15pm

When I lost my wallet it took me ages to find one to replace it, couldn't find one that pleased me. Is it a psychological thing? You know money association or something?

Stereomaniac · 07-07-2014 5:17pm

I found a nice one in River Island years ago that I still have to this day. I don't think paying out a large amount for some finely leather crafted one is going to effect my sense of self greatly.

Probably not but they last in your back pocket for years or decades even.
Plus it's a manly man thingy.Can't have a wallet that's not leather if you're over twenty five.

CastorTroy · 07-07-2014 6:22pm

I got mine about 12 years ago living in Dublin and it's like the day I bought it, more or less. Just a cheapish adidas clothy one with velcro. Very high end.

Think I was just looking for one quickly and all others seemed bulky

Bacchus · 07-07-2014 6:27pm

I love my Elephant wallet. So neat and tidy. It's amazing how much useless paper and cards build up in your wallet. No more of that for me

Dr.Winston O'Boogie · 08-07-2014 11:46am

Seems to be hard to find a wallet that has a coin holder as well or am I missing something?

I would hope people have outgrown Velcro wallets by the time they're 18.

madfcuker · 08-07-2014 11:54am

Finding it hard to replace my wallet as well. Had this wallet over 15 years that I picked up in a market in the UK for about £10.

Trying to find something similar. Most wallets nowadays don't even come with a coin compartment which I really need. And to sound that I'm really picky the coin compartment has to be a button and not a zip lock mechanism.

Don't sit down with your wallet in your back pocket! Could cause back problems.

Yeah they seem out of fashion at the moment. Managed to get one in Debenhams.

Bit too much like a purse for my liking.

Funded one of these http://www.articulatewallets.com/ recently. Still waiting for it to be delivered. Intrigued to see what it's like.

I have 3 and find it very handy.

One with £ sterling in it, one with US$ and one that I use every day for Euros. When I come home from the UK or US I just take my cards from the wallet, put them back in my Euro wallet, and throw the US/UK wallet in a drawer until I need them again.

I was in the US recently and was surprised that all the wallets that I looked at over there have no change pocket. On reflection I can see their point. The largest coin is a quarter dollar, so you can have a pocket full of shrapnel and only a tiny amount of money.

Every time I'm there I moan about the fact that they don't use a dollar and a 2 dollar coin. You have a great big wad of notes and might only have $20

Fair enough, that is a good reason

This thread has now made me go look for a good wallet.

Hollister11 · 17-07-2014 9:19pm

It's a by product anyway,no cows are killed for leather.

cruizer101 · 18-07-2014 11:19am

I'm a big fan of the tri-fold wallets myself, far neater in the pocket I think. Something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/S7K-39255-BLACK-Salisbury-Trifold/dp/B008YYTV18/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1405681869&sr=8-23&keywords=trifold+wallet

Always been meaning to try out a money clip type wallet also, although I think they work far better with dollars

I got a lovely Tommy Hilfiger one last year that has a coin holder. It was priced at 75 Euro, but I got it in a 50% off sale. I have seen wallets with coin holders in Tommy Hilfiger shops in the last few months though

johnphillips · 21-07-2014 6:56pm

In terms of non leather, I have a machine era aluminium wallet.
Bit unusual, but fits the bill. No pun intended.

Zagato · 21-07-2014 9:25pm

I love having a small wallet, first wallet my folks got me as a teenager was a Texier card holder which was great for years.
Spent a long time trying to find a wallet that would fit notes and be as slim, my wallet was a Fossil money clip 4 card slots and a magnetic clip for cash.
Wife got me an Aspinal trifold for birthday last year and it is good quality, fairly slim and can carry all my cards.

Glad you found your wallet!

A good Wallet
