Wallets

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.

its on sale here

https://www.fwrd.com/product-comme-d...&deeplink=true

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

Fuck wallets though

I carry an older version of this Danier cardholder style wallet. I try real hard to only carry 6-7 cards - doesn't always work out.

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 have a feeling I would misplace the cardholder constantly cause it's so small.

i dont even bring my wallet anymore. just my phone. If i get into an accident, i have a photo of my DL on my phone.

Apple pay does more than enough for 90% of my spending needs. Bigger ticket items can be run through twice or thrice if needed.

Beats carrying an extra thing in your pants/jacket/man purse.

I slip one of the Tile trackers (cc sized) into the cardholder.

I've moved from using a traditional wallet to using a cardholder type like a metal one. This one's from Port Coquitlam, made by/via Ansix Auto.

It’s kinda that feeling when you get an unaware boner in the morning. Something not quite right. But in a totally wrong spot.

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.

This is the one I use and I love it. It's way thinner than your regular wallet. Holds a ton of stuff without being bulky.

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.
