How do you carry your Wallet ?

Ken, they are a simple little brass or copper colored spring clip that I get from Ohio Travel Bag. I think the picture will be worth 1000 words. The clip goes between the exterior and the interior (2 ply, 2 oz) through a 00 punch hole and it is cemented with contact cement. The rest of the wallet components (pockets) are single ply 2 oz.

Also a shot of my "permanent pattern" since I wound up making so many of them. Please note the outside pockets are longer than the inside pockets and the inside pockets are installed with curve cut out toward the ends of the wallet. The outside pockets are curve cut out toward the center of the wallet. The bottom of the inside pockets is stitched down across the bottom only before the exterior layer is put in place. Final border stitch goes from pocket top corner around to pocket top corner. No stitch in the very center of the wallet.

Also to eliminate confusion, the photo below is of a proto type and only had pockets on the inside hence they are installed reverse of what I wrote. The photo's purpose was to show the clips and how they are inserted. See the photos earlier in the thread for the current style, and pocket placement.

Paul, that's a neat wallet indeed! I love the minimalist nature of it.

OP, I carry rear, right pocket. My front pockets have to carry a ton of stuff for quick access. I also carry two wallets, so each rear pocket has to carry a load. After fighting Sciatica years ago I have slimmed my actual wallet down as much as possible. A thick wallet can really hurt you in the long run. I've minimized and removed whatever I could.
 
and here i was, thinking that this was still about which pocket to carry it when suddenly this wallet from sheathmaker pops up...
very cool!
now if i can get my wife to accept me wearing cotton/denim shirt this might work for me as well :)
na, seriously that is a mighty cool wallet.
i've also been slimming down my wallet a lot. maybe i will opt to front carry again once i switch me cell phone to my belt or get rid of it alltogether.
