I figure any mall department store will have a selection, but I'm pretty sure 80% of the wallets won't vary from store to store, i.e. Nautica, Fossil, etc.

I want a tri fold, not necessarily leather. I can't really see myself spending more than 15 bucks.

There's TONS online but it'd be nice to actually hold the wallet myself and examine it before I purchase it.

You answered your own question. Just goto a mall department store for convenience.

For 15 bucks? Here is a short list of places you can go find a wallet in that price range.

Walmart, Target, The Mall, Kmart, Sears, JC penny, larger grocery stores, a leather store, highway rest stops, ebay, virtually anywhere else on the web, or heck, maybe just throw a rock and see what store it hits, it will probably have wallets.

Excellent question, Jeeves.

These kind of posts are really annoying. Right up there with the "what should I have for lunch today" posts

As far as I'm concerned, there are no restrictions on what kind of questions you can ask, assuming they are not derogatory or inappropriate.

Those who can't believe such a question was asked are guys with high post counts, i.e. they've seen this stuff over and over, year after year. Is it my fault that your life is spent here? Please my friends, hate me not for what I ask, but because I point out your flaws.

and the "how do you pronounce <insert word here>" threads.

I got mine at the grocery store in the checkout isle. $8, have had it for about 7 years.

one could also say that its not our fault you haven't left your mom's basement in so long a time that you can't figure out where to buy a friggin wallet.

Don't get leather. They fall apart too easily.

I've had my nice leather wallet for 15+ years now, and it still looks great. Somehow I don't think a wallet with Velcro will last that long. Of course I bought a quality wallet.

It's a wallet. You go to the store and you try them out in person. It's like somebody asking where to buy bananas. You go to a store and you look around and you buy based on whatever factors interest you. Now that I've mentioned this, watch some idiot post a thread about where to buy bananas.
