Yeah, ryan, is your coach real, or did you get it in China Town ?

g/f makes three trips to Memorial Sloan-Kettering a year to make sure she's still cancer free . . . she always comes home with several knock off purses. Her sister usually brings home a suitcase full of Tiffany and David Yurman Jewelry, too . . . I'm lucky to get a watch out of the deal . . .

They Loooooove China Town . . . and, Broadway Shows . . .

They're planning a trip in April . . . I'll see if I can tag along and maybe smoke one with you ? eh?

naw, bloody . . . just love your humor, that's all . . .

vfrtwice - I have the same problem as you. When I am sporting a standard wallet, I usually keep it in my inside coat pocket. Otherwise, I look like I have an abnormal growth growing on my butt. Plus, there's nothing better than only going into a bar with a 'slim' holding your ID and debit card.

I use a thong-wallet.

Works great, except it smells like toothpaste.

LMAO!!!!

BTW...Their are bookoo Coach wallets on that auction site for reasonable prices.

Yeah, I bought a couple leather ones myself.

You get a certificate of authenticity for the tire tracks too!

Each one was unique.

My leather wallet was produced by a Dodge Durango.

See if you can find a self-filling wallet. I've been looking for one for years, but so far I haven't been able to find one. They must keep them next to the self-installing car parts I keep asking the guy at Autozone for...

The Couch wallet that I had fell apart after a couple of years. Nice leather but not durable. The Filson wallet that I've had for the past couple of years is great. Both cost about the same. I prefer the Filson.

Hey Andy ... here's one for you, now that you got that promotion ...

Heck ... it's an 'executive wallet' thats got eight credit card compartments, and it's Bosca Italian leather that's made in China !!!

BTW ... I think that 'China' was a typo.

Here's another from the same place, that's a 'front pocket' ID wallet ...

... and it says 'Italy' ... 😉

I've been checking those out Slim, but they are not exactly what I am after.

I actually don't know what I am after, so I may do the unthinkable and visit a store...and check some out.

I like the idea of the card carrier money clip, except that money clips are a PIA.

This is the same exact wallet I have. Plenty of card slots and really high quality

You need one of these:

The duct tape wallet!

"Made from Super Duct Tape (specifically engineered so that your wallet won't lift, peel, or get sticky), these duct tape wallets are one part high fashion, one part weekend warrior, and another part sheer cool. Super Duct Tape is tougher and better looking than traditional duct tape which would make a lousy wallet - think of glue leaking into your pocket and then sticking to all that lint and dog hair. No way. These next generation wallets don't even smell! And they are soft and gentle on the hands with no sharp corners to talk about. Sure you use duct tape to mount your hard drive in your case, or as floppy labels, or even to upholster your office furniture - but not until now could you realistically hope to use duct tape to carry around your bling.

These durable and well-constructed duct tape wallets are great for all programmers, but Perl coders might enjoy them the most. Availble in two styles, Bi-fold (dimensions 4.25" x 3.75") and tri-fold (dimensions 4" x 3.25"). See additional images for pics of each. Wee!

"Duct tape is like the force: It has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together."

- Carl Zwanzig "

thanks for all of your suggestions......

I homed in on the style I wanted, and it came down to a very close tie between a Tumi Model 1738 & Victorinox "Merger" wallet.

I chose the Vic wallet........because the knives rock, and it was a touch cheaper. If my current wallet wasn't falling apart, I think I may have waited a while , hoping to get that Tumi wallet on the Bay fro a better price than retail.

Buckwheat;

which Filson do you have? I have a packer wallet in the leather/twill finish. I love it. I have had it for a couple of months now, and it is just starting to acquire the proper curve.

After all of this, the bastid will probably stick with a jumbo paper clip.
