mine is brown leather with a zipper

the zipper is key

you can stuff a lot into it, then zipper it down to a manageable size :)

My mom has cost me $90 in wallets over the past year. She keeps washing them and they turn into a tiny wrinkled chunk of leather.

I have a NOBEL brown leather wallet I bought in Prague a few years ago. It's a trifold with a zipper in the center section for coins. It's a little large but it holds EVERTHING!!

I have some cheap tri-fold I got on sale for $5. It has done a pretty good job so far, but is really bulky. I may get a thin wallet soon (today is payday! :))

I have a Kenneth Cole leather wallet that I picked up at Nordstrom for $35. It's held up pretty well over the last few years. I would love to get a Coach bifold wallet, but they are just too expensive, even at the outlets.

I got mine from a leather shop in Rosarito Beach, Mexico! It was only $15 as it has lasted years!

I don't carry a wallet with me. I have a sleeve that came with my Visa from my bank. I keep that along with driver's licence, insurance info, calling card, and folded cash in. It's compact doesn't draw attention to it. In fact, most people can't see that I have it in my pocket.

I have a Perry Ellis leather bifold. its very nice, and held up well thru 5 times in the clothes washer :)


My old one was really nice too - FOSSIL brand. Leather Bifold held up thru many a washing also. it still looks nice too, I just wanted a new wallet.

I have a dozen identical Stafford black leather bifolds. They're left from a total of 15 I bought at $9 each when the JC Penny here went out of business.

<< Can't go wrong with real leather. I carry a ROLF'S (no, not ROTF or ROFLMAO) :D

Still have to get a new one every couple of years as they eventually fall apart, but it holds up better than any other one that I've owned.

Basic Rolf's bifold here. Can't stand the trifold wallets, too thick. Had it for a few years now, only problem is that the plasitc picture holder is not fairing well at all.

Damn, I threw out 15 of them that came with my stash. I don't use them. They were probably the correct size, too.

I can't understand why someone would pay a few hunder bucks for a wallet. Is there that much of a difference between a $400 wallet and a $20 leather one? I'm not trying to rip on you, just trying to understand.
The only way I would spend that much on a wallet is if it had some sort of tracking device in it so I could find it when I lost it.
