...and why?

I personally use a Fossil Front-Pocket Magnetic Wallet:

I find that it's easy to get to cash, and will hold the exact amount of cards I need it to. I have needed more room occasionally but I'm not sure what else is out there that will hold more than what I carry: cash, ID, Insurance Card, 4 Credit/Debit Cards. For $20, it's my "current" favorite wallet.

What do you guys use to carry your cash and cards? Any pics would be nice, just cover up your CC numbers. :D
 
My Walmart POS is starting to rot, so I just bid on a Columbia wallet on eBay and a Victorinox trifold wallet.

Also looking for a new money clip, I bought one at a powwow, real neat, had a buffalo head nickel on it, but it's junk now :( .
 
Bosca leather makes the best wallets I've ever seen. Mine is almost two years old and can almost pass for new. At $70 for a tri-fold, they aren't cheap. I figure that I'll get five or ten years minimum years of use out of it, so that $70 doesn't look so bad compared to replacing a Wal-Mart specia at $20 every two years the way I did before.
 
I'm a nut about wallets. It has to be just right or I ain't happy. I had a Fossil wallet that I liked cause of the "id holder" that could removed when I didn't want to take the whole thing. But I found the over time it made the side of my credit and atm cards split so it had to go. I went thru 6-8 wallet in 6 months trying to find one I liked. I'd buy one, keep it a month, then decide it wasn't for me and go find another. Then I decided to order a Spec-Ops THE WALLET jr. I've had it for over 6 months and I still like it. It's a littler thicker than I like, but nothing is perfect. And it's made very well so I'll probably have it for a long time..........unless I find one I like better(not likely).
 
Nice duct-tape wallet. I'm thinking about making my own also. I have experimented before and it turned out pretty well. I just haven't had the time to sit down and create my "perfect" wallet yet.
 
A non magnetic front pocket wallet by Fossil and it is holding up great for a $20 wallet.
 
I've got THE Wallet Jr. too and I like it. It took some getting used to, but I really like it now. I decided to get it after the velcro on my old wallet stopped velcro-ing. I liked the Spec Ops wallet because of the zipper compartment behind the ID window is perfect for my spare keys (I'm very paranoid about losing my keys).

The outside ID window makes a good window for my work schedule that's easily accessible and read when I'm asleep and trying to decide if I should keep sleeping or get up and go to work (or look for a new job in the event that I'm three hours late).
 
Well, I just won the Victorinox wallet, found a Spec Ops Jr wallet and I'm deciding whether or not I want to buy it. Now if only I could find a good money clip I'd be set.

Just bought a Spec Ops wallet Jr, waiting on payment instructions. Will probably win the Columbia wallet auction. One for now, and two in reserve. :D
 
I carry ALL of my junk in a Spec Ops "The Wallet"...That monster holds everything but the kitchen sink, and is secure.
 
Spec Ops T.H.E. , here. Had it for two years plus now and it hasnt even begun to rot/tear/come apart/ etc.. Best investment in a wallet I can think of. Then you have this....
Spec.-Ops. Brand™ Lifetime Warranty
Simply put, if it's our fault (materials and/or workmanship), we'll repair or replace it - anytime, anywhere. If it's your fault (you survived and your gear didn't), we'll fix it ASAP and depending on how good your story is, we'll most likely do it for free. Enough said. Spec.-Ops.™ Great Gear Made in a Great Country - the U.S.A.!

Beat that ! Bet ya cant :)

..and why ?

Why T.H.E. ? because it's the best IMO , unless your into expensive leathers and gold dinglebobs on your wallet. :D
 
Yeah the spec-ops "T.H.E. wallet" is nice, but I still like my Duct-tape wallet. Besides it's made in the U.S.A. too.:D (Just make sure that the tape you use is an American product)

Choose Duct-tape wallets. The all American wallet, guaranteed to be made in the U.S.A. (That is if you live here :) )

DUCT TAPE FOREVER!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!:D:D:D:p:p

Why did I just do that?:footinmou:footinmou:rolleyes:

It's got 7 pockets in which I keep my Cash, cards and spare change.

Sorry for the lousy pic (I need a new camera:rolleyes: )

Dang...If you hold it closed with chicken wire, it's an honest-to-god redneck wallet.:D.
 
I've been carry'n the same duct tape wallet for the last two or three years. (Although it only gets carried a day or two a week.) I'd been searching for a THIN small wallet and then came accross the duct tape idea. It's certainly thin. When it finally wears out, I'm going to have my wife sew one out of tyvek.

That thing rules.

I've been looking for a wallet that's exactly right for me. It never occured to me to make one out of duck tape.
 
I've been using a duct tape wallet as well. I've gone through various arrangments for pockets and ID holders. Right now I am using one I recently made that resembles a mission wallet. On the outside it has a pocket cut to hold a knife and light and on the flipside it has an ID credit card holder and a pen holder. I can open the wallet and I keep cash and a spare key in there. I love it. It holds up well, it is water proof, and it doesn't cost nearly as much to make a wallet as it would for me to buy a new one. And it is somewhat of a conversation piece. That can always be a nice thing.
