I have a black burberry wallet that's a bi fold that I use and I love it. Its burberry with the monogram but its black so its not flashy. It was 300 but my ex bought it for me.

OP, I have just the item for you. How about one of those over-priced Coach purses (with matching wallet). The pair will set you back hundreds but they will last and you will be making a statement in your $200 jeans!
what does purchasing a high quality leather wallet have to do with having a vagina?

Check out Tumi wallets - you might like them. I have a Tumi laptop bag from a few years ago that I love, and it's aged really well.

Not a fan of coach any more. I have coach bags from many years ago and I like the old ones, but the newer stuff is astonishingly high priced and the quality hasn't kept up.

No room for wallets in $200 jeans that show your junk. :biggrin:

someone grabs your wallet and runs in a place full of people and you're going to shoot him?
any money isn't worth the risk of killing someone innocent.

Not only should shooting the thief be 100% legal, there should be a law that you HAVE to do that. Fucking thieves should die a slow painful death.
Yes, MY stuff > life of thief.

I got a Tumi wallet just now from Ebay for $70. Last year style, usually retails for $120 but a deal's a deal and sure as hell beats my current wallet. I think the amount of change that fell through the hole in it covers at least 1/2 of the new wallet.

Money clips FTW. I can't stand sitting on my wallet in my back pocket, and fits ridiculously in my front pocket. Haven't had either problem with money clips. I also rarely carry no more than $20 cash (usually none), FWIW.

their bi-fold is ridiculously thin. i keep a few bills, and 4 or 5 cards/ids/etc in it and have to check and make sure its still in my pocket. got mine 4 or 5 years ago and still using it, although it does look a little rough now.

I have a couple Burberry ones and I love them. Last one lasted 5 years before I retired it out of pity. Lol

Cousin brought me back this when he visited the Ferrari factory in Italy last year. I think he paid around $400 there but sells for about $325 at the Ferrari dealership here.:hmm:

When I was 12ish(30+ years ago) a friend of my Dad made some wallets for him, myself, and my brother. Used mine until about 15 years ago when it became too worn to use anymore. Since then I have been using the one made for my Dad that he never used. I haven't bought a wallet in my life, so far.

Oooo, Oooo, let me field this one:

Both can involve getting penetrated by a dick who doesn't care about you at all, solely for their profit but based on your gullibility and vanity . . .and all you're left with is a soft piece of otherwise useless skin which will deteriorate over time until it can't successfully hold anything. :biggrin:

I assumed the OPs concern was getting robbed\mugged. If someone just managed to snatch my wallet and run, I would chase them, and I would catch them.

It would really piss me off if they started throwing cards\IDs out of my wallet as I chased them though.

Louis Vuitton makes my favorite wallets I have 4 different ones, you can get them for a good price at an LV outlet.

Let me clarify, a good price for the real world, I'm sure on ATOT even $20 for a wallet's unfathomably expensive.

my favorite of the bunch

it's just the plain LV style but it's timeless imho.


another I have

don't like it as much, but black goes with everything where you can't just carry a brown wallet around because it doesn't.

paying even a discount price for a LV wallet or a MB is just moronic, they don't hold you money any better then a cheap one

Theyre luxury items. Just because you dont put any value in them doesnt mean it's moronic.

How's it moronic if the person likes it? Life's about enjoying yourself, not worring about how much something costs. If you like it and it won't put you in the poor house why not buy it? My $200 LV wallet will last for 20 years, that makes it a whopping $10 a year. There are people on here who spend $500 on a video card that they'll replace before a years up, I don't consider them moronic though because I understand the saying "to each his own" Also OP asked about a wallet for $200 jeans, which in my eyes means he probably wants something NICE. Wallets from Target do the job, but that's it. I suspect OP wants something above and beyond that.

Try telling that to your gf or wife when she wants LV or Hermes bag and matching wallet.
