Anyone carry a chain wallet?

I'm still looking for a wallet. Any specific chain wallets bear looking into? I like the look of the titanium chain.

He makes different styles depending on what you want. Mine is the European Simple Chain in 10mm. I suggest 10mm because it will look like a standard size wallet chain. Anything smaller will look, well, too small. Also, believe it or not, the smaller the links, the more expensive the chain because it requires more links to make it and means more material.

Also, from experience with chainmaille, it takes a LOT more work per inch.
 
I had one when I was younger.

And yes, having it catch and snag on things did pose a bit of a problem.

I don't have one now and don't miss it. Of course, I am not a punk, skater, truck driver, biker, and I don't frequent areas rife with pickpockets.
 
The first one was a Harley knock off that lasted over 10 years.

Since 1997 I have had a 12mm sterling silver soldered link chain (not sure of the pattern) 12" long that attaches to a "pull the dot" leather keeper on my belt, with a key snap attached. The chain weighs about 3 oz.

I keep my "not everyday" stuff like CCW's, ABS membership card, Costco card, and infrequently used, but needed credit cards in the wallet. I can recommend the wallet made by Good Sports quite highly. It is US made, and good quality, as well as inexpensive. The chain is up to you. I have had some bad snags on the chain, but no pockets ripping. The longer the chain, the higher the chance of bad snags.

The worst was getting stuck on a ride at DisneyLand in 2000 when the chain snagged on the seatbelt. It was a tad embarassing. Still worth the hassle, though. I have never lost a chain wallet.
