Do you carry a wallet? question for guys?

[Mayfriday0529]

Do you guys carry a wallet, money clip, no wallet? big wallet, small wallet?
Do you carry it in front pockets, back pockets?

I personally have a regular standard wallet and carry it in front pocket. I was reading this article on one of those Men! magazines saying how big wallets and specially carried in the back pocket is so old style!

If you want to cut down on the size of the wallet, what do you suggest should be carried in it.
I have personally have 4 CC's, Bank Card, License, School ID, Insurance card, library card, 3 PBA cards and money...

update:
Here is the article about the Bifold wallet in back pocket.

I must be old-skool then: wallets are about function, not style (well, as long as they aren't ugly as sin).

Wasn't this a Seinfeld episode like 10 yrs ago?

Kramer: " I keep my big bills on the outside"
Jerry: "Thats a five?!"
Kramer: "Yeah!"

To my knowledge it's always been about function, save for rich people (read: Paris Hilton) who buy the $6000 authentic white tiger fur tri-folds.

I have a leather trifold about 6 years old, had it every since my first job. Its worn about from all of the washings it has had. I keep about 2 weeks worth of receipts in it. My drivers licence, bank card, incurance, 5 discount cards/rewards cards, and no phots, i lost the thingie that carries them (OH WELL).

Wallet in your back pocket will screw up your back over time, it shifts your spine out of line.

[jadinolf]

Yep, trifold.

Back pocket and loaded with stuff.

 

[nageov3t]

I have a bi-fold wallet that I keep in my front left pocket (habit developed from years of taking tightly packed subways every day to get to high school... wallet in front/left, ipod in front/right, and hands in both pockets, at least when commuting).

I keep my cash, 2 credit cards, drivers license, and assorted cards (business cards, store reward cards, etc) in it. I keep my change loose in my right pocket and occasionally have some loose bills in my left pocket if I got change from a store and didn't feel like putting it back into my wallet (takes a few seconds, since I keep the bills in my wallet organized)

 

[kranky]

I tend to keep stuff in my wallet because I hate having to remember to check before I go somewhere to see if I need to bring something I don't already have in there.

3 personal CCs, 1 company CC, National Car Rental Emerald Club card, Flex Spending debit card, library card, ATM card, med insurance card, vision insurance card, dental insurance card, paper with emergency phone numbers, drivers license, AAA card, three of my business cards, blood donor ID card, $120 emergency cash.

I don't really worry if people think it's old style. It works for me, and whatever card I need I always have with me.

Bi-fold in my right, rear pocket:

Money, Drivers License, CC, 2 Debit Cards, Insurance Card, CTA Card, University ID, CVS Card, Lifeguarding/First Aid Certification, Registration for one of my parent's cars

I have a plain waller that folds in half. One half has 3 slots for commonly used cards, the other side has a flip open for my Drivers License. Then it has the pocket behind each of thsoe to slide CCs into and the big pocket for money. I carry it in my back right pocket.

And for fun, here's what I have now:

In quick slots:

In slot behind that:

Best Buy Rewardzone card (no idea why, haven't used that in forever)
Library card

Bi-fold leather wallet, sits in right cargo pocket (My step dad has a fvcked up spine from sitting on a wallet in his back pocket)

Yes, I wear cargos almost every day. When I don't, I have a little slim line that holds 2 cards, my ID and a credit card.

[apac]

Bi-fold leather wallet, had it for 5+ years. Front right pocket, used to carry it in my back right but 1) it was uncomfortable to sit on after a while and 2) I was always worried about getting pick pocketed, especially in packed bars, etc.

Been carrying one back there for 30 some years now and my spine is fine.

 

[shortylickens]

Yup. A billfold normally in front pants pocket or inside jacket.
I tried a money clip but I havent found one that will hold all my cards as well.

Am a lot more careful with my wallet since I got pickpocketed in Barcelona.

 

[clamum]

Tri-fold, back left pocket if I'm not wearing a jacket, otherwise in my jacket.
