I started out with bifolds but found the trifolds to be less bulky and I’ve used tri-folds for probably 25 years.

[Venturer]

I like bi-fold and thin. Most men dont carry a lot of pictures , but it has to have a pocket for cards. It takes about two years for it to fit your butt so buy a good quality.

I always end up with the "costanza" wallet

[Rebelbase]

Wallets are beyond some fellers.

[hunter112]

The folded type that men put in their back pockets have been shown to cause hip problems over many years of sitting awkwardly.

Not if they have ex-wives!

[Rebelbase]

My back got better when I quit sitting on my Costanza wallet.

[Lazamataz]

How do you guys figure out what to put in your pocket?

Caliber, usually.

[cripplecreek]

I don’t carry a wallet. I keep my stuff locked in the glove box of the truck. I keep money in my pocket where I can keep an eye on it.

[hunter112]

Had one of those circular impressions thirty-five years ago. Today, as well, but it’s a Pepcid...

[mylife]

Mine is literally falling apart.(the wallet)

“so that means thinner high quality leather”

At first glance, I read this as “inner thigh quality leather.”

Man, it’s been a long and brutal day...

Thanks for collecting that clip. ;-)

OK, a serious answer: I use a trifold. My daughter gave me one many years ago, and I became so fond of it, that when it was lost, I replaced it with something that looked extremely similar. When it was found, a little too much worse for wear, I still kept it for the sake of the memories.

But no back pocket stuff for me, here in NY, you keep your wallet in a front pocket!

How do you guys figure out what to put in your pocket?

It depends on what I think I will need. I think I'm sold on my latest set-up now though. I simplified down to a money clip over the clear plastic 10pocket card holder with a few cards loose under the wad of cash carried in my front pocket. Before that I was partial to a bill fold bifold that was the same size as my back jean pocket. It was a bit of a pain to get out but the form fitting size was comfortable for back carry.

I’m a fan of the WhenWeAreQueen blog. Happy to see it getting play on freerepublic.

My wife buys me the tri-folds from Nordstrom’s. I like them as they wear well for about 3 years. I carry loads of licenses and cards so I need the extra space.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I would NEVER give shoes as a gift, anyway. They are EXTREMELY dependent on foot size and shape; 1 wrong feature and you’re cramping majorly. Shoes are a bad gift. Always buy your own shoes, never sight unseen (or feeling unfelt).

[doc1019]

You must be single … you have money in your wallet! ;-)
