Chain wallet?

Do you mean a trucker's wallet?

I don't like them, but I've carried them over the years. A couple of companies I drove for issued all their drivers one...and required us to carry them. (company cash & checks)

i can see the usefulness of the first, since it's basically just a seperate pouch for company funds. the actual bi or tri fold wallet is what's being discussed here, though. and i don't think he's a trucker.

all he needs is a chain and strap, you can cut a hole in any leather wallet to connect to. a simple leather punch would work perfect...or a knife, whichever. The leather strap part might be a little harder to find by itself without a wallet but i'd say a dog choke collar would make an ideal chain about the right length and size.

Why even carry a wallet? What do you need when you leave the house?

ID
Check Card
Credit Card
Maybe a parking/access card?

I never carry a wallet. Everything goes in the front pocket.

i hate carrying things in my front pockets, phone goes in 1, keys in the other, thats it

i have a normal trifold wallet

two words for you, sir- go bifold.

trifolds are always bulkier and usually hold less because of the way the slots are placed. i still hate my wallet, but i hated my old (trifold) one a lot more.

you guys might want to wait until you have at least a few bucks and a real CC prior to looking for wallets, just saying.

i have a bifold wallet. it sits under my right butt-cheek.

only things that go in front pockets are keys and phone. any more is too crowded.

I had a chain wallet when I was younger. My mom made me wear it because I forgot my wallet at the theater a couple of times.

In europe keeping your wallet in your back pocket means it gets stolen by a rom.

The last time I saw a chain wallet was over a year ago on a TV program about the Sturgis Bike Rally. Just sayin'.

Where do you live by chance? The area that I live in is about as white trash as you can get, but I still never see them. Everyone wears Affliction shirts etc., but even then no chain wallets. They are in as much as the extra baggy Jnco look.

I can honestly say I've never seen a chain wallet here. (Maui)

In Alaska it's always some teenage stoner punk who insists on wearing his leather jacket (with tassels!) even though -40 that has one.
