Wallets?
Wallets?
Which wallet do you carry on a daily basis? I have a low end "Wallet Depot" wallet but was looking to "upgrade." As of now, I'm probably going to go for a Hugo Boss offering. I'm looking for leather with minimal card slots (3-4 if possible) because I'm 15 years old, only cards I need to store are a school I.D, membership card for my lake house, library card (just to fill up a spot, I like never go to the library, lol)
I know someone's gonna say Saddleback Leather, I looked at some of his offerings, I want something a little classier looking, something i could have with Catholic school clothes (shirt and tie, khakis, the whole deal)

Less is more and sitting on a wallet often leads to back trouble.

I think Saddleback is definitely classy. Bladeforums has a sub-forum for Saddleback and there's a few threads of just wallets. I got one for Christmas and its been great. It was a little thick when I first got it but now it's gotten worn in some.

I picked up a TGT wallet recently on Kickstarter, it the most minimalistic possible, if fact its a rubber fabric with a small leather pouch, but it takes up 1/3 in your pocket compared to a normal wallet :) It holds 10 cards and a wad of cash just enough for me :)

My fiancee made me a wallet for my bday a couple of years ago using a GI Joe-themed fabric - when I pull the wallet out, it has a prominent Cobra insignia over a mostly light greenish fabric. Nifty, but I think we will probably redesign it to be a bit more resilient/secure soon.

Mine is old enough to vote, and probably old enough to drink. It's a brown leather trifold and the only marking on it is a small cloth tag that says "Made in China". It's been showing some wear on the corners for the past few years but, barring serious mishaps, I figure it's good for at least another five.

You should check out the website: Kickstarter.com. It has a lot of wallets by different inventors/small start up's. I carry around a Saddleback bi-fold but was looking for something a little thinner and nicer. I saw the Omega Titanium wallet and decided to back it. That is probably out of your price range but there are a bunch of different minimalist wallets for varying prices.

I carry the Timbuk2 Paranoia wallet (sans bicycle chain). Ballistic nylon with an all-around zipper, internals very solid as well. Few card slots and 2 slots for cash/checks, about half as thin as my old trifold. Got it for Christmas, going to last for years.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I don't know, Blake. I like the idea of a thin wallet but thin (smooth) stuff seems to slip out of my pocket. I assume that doesn't (from yours?)
Anyway, I just ordered a Saddleback. I'd just blown out my best belt (gotta get back on that diet ) so I put an Old Bull in the cart too. Doubt I'm gonna blow out that thing!
And, I figured out the shipping thing. I'd added a bottle of their leather conditioner and that switched the shipping to UPS only (at $36!) I knew I'd seen USPS before. Or I thought I had Anyway, removed the conditioner and USPS popped back up. It was still $15 but that's way better. Found the conditioner on Amazon for the same price with free shipping.
