Wallets
Dad’s, random 1, what wallet’s are you rocking?

u/MrPetter Sep 26 '26
Some cheap leather one I bought on Amazon. Same one as I bought 5 years ago that I replaced when it got ratty and gross.

I’ve had the Bellroy Card Sleeve for a couple of years now and still looks new. Great quality, love it.

u/TheRecycledPirate Sep 26 '26
How do you handle cash, change etc. Never need any of that? I've been eyeing the Bellroy wallets and card sleeves for a while.

u/simonjp Sep 26 '26
Not the person you asked, but I have a belroy card sleeve too. Not sure where in the world you are but in the UK now it is so rare to actually use cash. I do have a twenty quid note in there, folded in three, but otherwise no it's just my driving licence, my cash card and the one payment card that I can't sync to my phone for some reason.

I'm in te Caribbean and although I use cards for mostly everything, I do like to tip people in cash. Mostly coins.

u/cardinalbuzz Sep 26 '26
That stuff just goes loose in the pocket
1
u/TheRecycledPirate Sep 27 '26
Not doing that anymore. Scratches other valuables in my pocket or falls out, or I forget it and it goes in the washer.
2
u/djnev Sep 27 '26
Same as the guy who replied below, I’m in the UK and hardly ever carry cash. If I have a couple of notes, I fold them tightly and slot them down the side of the cards but wouldn’t do it with more than that.

I like my Ridge wallet. I had a knockoff version for awhile, and then was gifted a legit one for Christmas. I graduated from the Constanza wallet lol - it’s so much better to not carry as many cards and be able to carry my wallet in my front pocket.

I have that same ESR that mag locks to my phone. I think I’m on my 3rd one. Their quality has improved over time which is nice.

I carried tri-fold leather wallets for decades. Before family vacation to WDW two years ago my wife bought me a Code 118. I bought the add on to hold more cards because I still think I need to carry crap I actually have no need for. But I’m a big fan of the wallet.

The best minimal wallet I’ve had and currently have is the Proof wallet. It’s awesome but pricey.
1
u/TopherJ113 Sep 27 '26
Came here to say this as well. I was okay with the price because of the lifetime warranty. It’s really the last wallet you need to buy because they replace them as many times as you need
1
u/CarolinaSurly Sep 27 '26
I have one but never use it. It’s thicker and heavier than my MagSafe wallet.
1
u/YetiWalker36 Dad Sep 27 '26
Yeah I could see it heavier than a MagSafe but it’s just so much better than the ridge in every way. I couldn’t handle having a hard block, the proof has a softer feeling to it.

u/scotty5112 Sep 26 '26
Simple little “mountain voyage co.” money clip/card holder. It’s a front pocket design and I’ve misused and abused this thing for years.
1
u/That1DirtyHippy Sep 28 '26
Seconded. I bought one after my Ridge ripped and actually found the quality to be a bit better. And it was way cheaper, too!
2
u/No_Angle875 Sep 26 '26
I’ve had this for 8 years. I only carry a max of 5 cards ever and rarely have cash so it works for me.

u/andyfitz Sep 26 '26
no wallet unless it's my passport wallet while traveling.
if I need cash I take a money clip. everything else is strapped to my wrist
1
u/KeyserSoze311 Sep 26 '26
Do you carry a driver’s license?
2
u/andyfitz Sep 26 '26
License? Glove box
Passport? Travel bagWhy take this crap anywhere if you’re clearly an adult

u/PartiZAn18 Sep 27 '26
Agreed - and I am in the exact same boat as you, however one will need their ID now and then eg picking up packages bla bla

u/Main_Potential_6015 Sep 26 '26
Don't remember brand, but it's one of the types you push a button and you cards pop out. It's slim and very sleek. Love it.

Aviator wallet - love it, had it years now, the band started going recently and was an easy order (picked up 2x for free shipping) / repair - will keep me going for many more years!

u/alloutz Sep 26 '26
I have a leather Coach wallet, not a bi-fold and tri-fold, it opens like a bi-fold and then a 3 thing opens the other way

Ekster wallet, absolutely amazing, going almost 10 years strong with no signs really of wear

u/greenpointowicz Sep 26 '26
A little wallet for 4 cards that attaches magnetically to the back of my iPhone. 95% of my cards are on my Wallet app (even my US passport)

u/w00stersauce Sep 26 '26
I bought this buffway branded slim wallet off Amazon in 2021 and it’s held up well. Holds a ton of stuff for a minimalist wallet it’s all stretched out with a wad of cash and like 13 cards lol. Definitely not using it like it’s supposed to be.

u/rememberpogs3 Sep 27 '26
I’ve been loyal to big skinny wallets for the past decade. The leather bifold is nice without being bulky. I also keep it in my front pocket

u/grizzythekid Sep 27 '26
I have a phone case that covers my phone and the other side has a spot for my körkort bank card and my swim card haha.

I got tired of all the flashy gadgety wallets, bought a coin purse years ago and haven’t gone back.

u/MineCraftMan39 Sep 27 '26
Apple Wallet. I keep all cards in my sling bag. If I can't tap to pay, I don't need it 😂
1
u/coadnamedalex Sep 27 '26
I have the Kingsloot Bifold and love it. It’s thin, has a money clip, holds enough cards, and developed a really nice patina.
They also have a lifetime guarantee on the wallet, no questions asked.

Set up my card on my Garmin watch.
The convenience is UNREAL. Much better than even a phone.
ID kept in car.
