bifold, definitely. I hate the way a trifold curls each end of my money. A bifold folds it nicely in half.

I fold my money in half and stick it in the middle part of the trifold.

bifold - seems like trifolds get too thick with all the junk I have.

Bifold. Trifolds get too thick to sit on.

i like bifolds better. unfortunately my g/f got my a trifold for my birthday last year, so i gotta use it.

Trifold.

used to have a bifold, but it was tearing apart, so I currently have a trifold. I like it, but I think the bifold was better.

I am the originator of the $150 wallet thread.

I came across this article

Frank offers two pieces of advice to owners of today's overstuffed wallets: "Thinner means longer," and "Wider means thinner." Translation: A thinner wallet puts less strain on stitching and other vulnerable wallet parts that may crack or burst, so it will last longer. And a wider wallet, by definition, spreads the wallet contents over a larger area, making it thinner.

For men, that means a bifold wallet. Leather experts insist that trifolds are anachronisms, harking back to the days when billfolds held nothing but folded bills. Young men start out buying trifolds because of their narrow profile--and because they have little else to carry besides a driver's license and date money. A 1996 survey showed that men under age 20 buy three times as many trifolds as bifolds.

So a trifold wallet becomes a habit, even after it has expanded to the size and shape of a jumbo bar of soap. "The problem with men," says Frank, "is that they are the hardest animals on the planet to change." They do tend to wise up as they get older, but even men over 60 buy more trifolds than bifolds. And women, who buy most of the wallets men use, perpetuate the habit by sticking to whatever style their significant others already own. (Editor's note: Finally convinced of his folly, the author of this story broke his personal cycle by switching to a bifold. He reports that for the first time his wallet fits comfortably into the hip pocket of his jeans.)

i'm not sure what you would call mine.. i guess it's bi-fold cause it just folds the money in half.. but it also has like another part that flips down over that bifold part.. something similar to this , but not that one.. just similar with the L-shape..

next i think i wanna get a clip.. and will probalby use both, one for when i'm dressed nicely or am going someplace where i don't want a big wallet, and the other for every day use

bifold is the only way to go. for one thing, they are thinner, and for another thing, they don't cause the money to be all wrapped up and weird when you take it out.

my every-day wallet is a bifold.

but I also have a trifold that I use whenever I'm inspired to wear my wallet chain.

No wallet. Cash and a few select cards in pocket.

If I HAD to have a wallet, the smaller and thinner the better...

 

[Bassyhead]

i use a trifold, no preference over bifolds

 

[ohtwell]

If I carried a wallet, I'd want it to be trifold, just because it's smaller.

Any wallet thread instantly reminds me of Seinfeld and George's wallet. Too funny!

Fossil trifold. "genuine leather"

Best wallet I've had. and I've had this one for ~8 years now.

 

[slpaulson]

trifold

 

[SnoPearL69]

Trifold, but I got it as a gift. Bifold might fold easier

 

[vexingv]

i have a fossil bifold with a license flap in b/t. would consider getting a clip, but i dont have enough cash to rock that and all my cards are too cumbersome to deal with it.
someone mentioned sitting on bifolds...who does that? (reminds me of that seinfeld episode w/ george's enormous wallet)

 

[brigden]

I never carry cash, due to debit and credit cards, but I use a bifold, and always have.

I've always used a trifold. I'd gladly try a bifold, but my wallet shows no signs of giving out any time soon. I have come to see the merits of a money clip, though: My friend's rich dad carries one, and he always looks cool when he busts out his wad of cash. Looking cool is quite an accomplishment, because he looks kind of like Bill Gates.

Trifold here, I have nothing against bifolds though.
