Wear do you keep your wallet ?

Here is what i use, it was my first foray in the world of money clips so i just picked something cheap to see how it would go. I actually really like it, but i'll probably upgrade when i find something that i like. Its called the SlimClip it holds 4-5 cards on one side and cash on the other, pretty straight forward, i saw it on a an infomercial actually

I have heard that you can wrap rubber bands around a wallet and it makes it hard for pickpockets pull the wallet out. I prefer my back pocket around town as my town is pretty safe. Front pocket in crowds. When I was on a medical team at Bay to Breakers 15 years ago I was not in a great area of San Francisco and myself and my Medical people put our drivers licenses and Bank Card in our socks in case we were robbed, which we were fortunately not.
 
I carry a "Biker Wallet" made from a Tandy leather kit. Since it doesn't fold, it carries a lot but thin. It's chained to a belt loop for right rear. I keep my cash in another pocket.

I have seen sum pretty over loaded wallets. Some guys are wallet horders, they should make a documentary about them. I almost never keep any business cards in my wallet. Some of you mentioned money clips, I'm really trying to slim down my wallet, can any of you post some pics of your money clips, or keepers?

Thanks. And be safe.

Carried left back pocket until I was around 40. Had my first sciatic nerve flare up leave me standing in the grocery store on one leg and feeling stupid. Switched to the front left pocket after that. Took some getting used to but its fine now. Kinda forces me to keep it slim too.

How many credit/plastic ID cards will the Simple Wallet and the Card Wallet hold? I've been looking at both of these since I've started front pocket carry due to back issues and overall minimalization. I don't really need any room for cash....if I do I just fold in half and keep a few bills in my front pocket anyway. Using a Fossil front pocket with a magnet money clip now....Its a bit bulky. I only need to carry 6 cards on me at any time.

I usually stuff mine in the side of the door of the car when I am driving. When at work, I will put it in my back right pocket if my pants have a button. I work in a club and really don't want someone to snag my wallet. If I don't have the button option, I lock my stuff up in the employee closet which is under surveillance.

You could do 6 cards in the simple wallet. I carry two, and my DL, plus some bills, and usually a receipt or two...

I carry about 6 business cards in the CC wallet on one side, and 4 or so other cards on the other side plus a spare truck key.
 
Depends where I am and what I'm wearing, but usually front left pocket. If I'm in a sketchy place, front left pocket with my cigarettes on top. I need to quit smoking.

These are the two money clips I use the most, one more dressy the other more "urban". One is a William Henry that I modded with carbon fiber and Ti bolster. The other is one I made from an old Emerson knife clip with a Ti back. Both easily and securely carry up to ~20 notes with a card. :thumbup:

Does are beautiful. I might go to the plaza cutlery store today, i think they might carry some William Henry money clips; I’m going to take a look at them.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Left front pocket. I keep a Hideaway Knife tucked in the wallet, but sticking out far enough to grab.
 
I also carry mine in my front, left pocket. Sitting on a wallet can cause back problems. I might as well carry my wallet in my wife's purse though, lol. ;)
 
I drive for a living and a wallet in the back pocket can cause sciatica.
I use a cargo pant pocket or my front pocket.

I used to carry a traditional wallet but didn't care for the size of them. Even with just a few things in it, it was still bulky. I use a thin Saddleback Leather Small Wallet now.

Right rear pocket. My jeans are tight enough that it would be hard for someone to get my wallet out without me noticing and my TAD gear pants have button flaps that secure it.

Same wallet, same pocket. :)
It's not aesthetically the most stylish wallet (personally) but the comfortability of carry can't be beaten!
