What are y'all rocking for wallets these days? I've had the same wallet for the last ten years but its dying. I used to by cheap/fake wallets but they would only ever last a year or so.
10 years ago i won a bit of money in Vegas and treated myself to a Gucci wallet . Looking to replace that now but doesn't necessarily need to be a fashion design. More looking for quality/function over quality.
I think alot of people have moved to a cardholder/money clip but not sure if that's the way I want to go.
Been using a Gucci leather wallet for the last 10 years.
Had a LV canvas one before that but the stitching split after a few years.
My experience is if you put it in your back pocket, you sit on it etc and it wears out a lot quicker. If you put it in your front pocket or take it out before you sit down it'll last a lot longer.
I see the money clips but I have cards and receipts and other shit in my wallet and I prefer the traditional wallet form factor
I used a black LV card holder an ex-gf gifted me for like a decade+, but when looking for a change I got over myself (being 45+) and went for utility and haven't ever looked back. I use a blue one of this now:
ive been using my comme des garcon zip wallet for like almost 10 years now..
highly recommend this wallet. less bulky than a bifold but can carry just as much if you need to.
funny this topic came up, last night my wife was going through her stuff and she showed me her grandpas money clip.
thought it was funny that there was a time where lots of broke 20yo kids used money clips to show off their money even when they barely had any.
back before minimalist wallets were such a thing
I don't even carry a wallet or cash anymore most of the time. Credit cards are all on Google Pay, and the last step was Octopus moving to a phone app with full functionality. I can't remember the last time I used cash.
For longer days it's good to have some cash and backups cards though, so a card holder might be a good idea
Found this company wandering Montreal. Made in Canada, and has held up fine. I put max 6 cards in but usually carry 4. I bought one for a friend and he's stretched it out with more than 10 and it still held up nicely. They had more color options in store.
I have cards on Apply Pay but license and compass card to track down dark aren't supported digitally.
I think you want the slimmest wallet possible. I have an Hermes card holder that a female friend gave me over 10yrs ago and it’s no bigger than a card/id. Fits 4 cards and a few bills
Whatever you do though, don’t get one of those card holder/money clip made out of hard materials. I have a fat ass and thigh, so I need something that contours to my thigh or ass when I sit down. Which is impossible if you’ve got a lil brick in your pocket.
It’s one of the few kick starter projects I backed that I regretted. I mean, it does everything it supposed to do, but it’s just not very comfortable when you got all relatively flexible materials encased in a hard shell.
I bought one of these a few years ago to support a car youtube channel.
I still like it, and it has held on well. Bonus is that I believe they are in Vancouver so you're supporting local engineering nerds.
They (Ansix) were based out of Port Coquitlam when I picked up their drill-less front license plate brackets in the past for the FK8 and VB WRX. Fantom is their wallet brand.
I've been using this wallet for 30+ years and I'll be using it for another 30+ more. It was made when genuine leather and made in USA meant decent quality.
