Usually I wear jeans, my workplace does not have a dress code. Still I like to wear a tweed jacket or other casual jacket to work. A small knife fits the side pockets. It would be nice to have a slim and light but still about 4 inches closed lenght folder to carry in comb pocket. Like the Otter brass handle lockback. Or slimline trapper.

GT I just pulled mine out and counted. I have 8 different plasticised cards: DL, insurance, credit, debit etc. I also have about 10 business cards. It has a pocket on front too for cash, (thats that green stuff I think, don't remeber) but a guy could put more cards there if he wanted. When I carry my trapper in my buckaroo pouch I just drop it in the same pocket. Everything gets along fine.

GT, you'll need two front pocket wallets Mine will carry about 10 cards in two inside and two outside slips and a money clip inside.

GT, I went fairly minimalist with my slim wallet. I have 5 plasticized cards, one paper card, a P38, a Craftsman 4-way, and a spare Eneloop AAA in my wallet. If I took out the P38 and 4-Way, I could probably squeeze 10-12 cards into the wallet, but there's no way to fit your wallet load into the type of wallet I have. The elastic strap on the back is for cash, but it's also where I stash my spare battery. I don't actually wear it in my front pocket, though. It's either in my back left pocket or left cargo pocket. My front pockets are too small/full to fit the wallet comfortably.

Dave & Tom & Shawn, thanks for the additional info re capacity of the front pocket wallets. :thumbup: I think I should look into the various available options. Even if I can't transfer everything from my current wallet into something slimmer, I can probably carry many of the least essential things somewhere in the backpack I seem to carry almost everywhere I go. Would definitely be a change of lifestyle, though!

Serves me right for trying to be a know-it-all.

Nah,! It was a good response.

Here's what I use. Got it from a hardware big box up here, Menards.

Has 2 slips for cards and such inside, another 2 outside, and an internal money clip.

For GT, yes, you can strop. Cards in the outer slips makes for a flat surface

Most days I work or knock around in wool slacks, leftover uniform pants from my brief stint as a transit operator. They are baggy pants with big, loose pockets. I can easily drop three traditional knives in there with room left over for a phone if necessary. Today I carried a TL-29, an Opinel 6, and my yellow CV peanut, all in the RFP

Philllll-thanks for posting that pic of the Timberlands, that is some watch pocket! How do they fit, true to size or run bigger/smaller? Idk if I can find them locally or not but I'd like to try a pair. They look like I could fit my Dozier km-6 in a bushcraft sheath in them, which would be fantastic. My belts are always to wide for his kydex sheaths,and getting the same sheath with a bigger loop would drive my wife nuts.(short trip, says I in a whisper from the garage) . Someone posted about lefty probs finding a watch pocket, yet I thought someone mentioned a brand with 2 pockets. It seems like the old logger/lumberjack Carhartts had double front pockets, but they weren't real deep. Not sure they still make them, they already had buttons for suspenders. Woodrow- bibs are great! Plenty of folks in my state never wear anything else, course we have lots of farmers, stockmen, and ranchers here in the great American desert. They are comfy, I really like my insulated bibs, I could carry two fixed blades, and have , in them with no one the wiser, as well as all my folders. Good knifely info here boys, keep it coming. Bunch of clothes horses.
Thanks, Neal

Here's one that could easily slide out of the smallest of jeans watch pocket & easily be lost. I think when Dan made these his intention was for ladies' purse or mens suit slacks

Finally this picture with $.25 for size reference
