I’m looking for a photo — but there’s not much in my wardrobe that I’m pickier about than a billfold/money clip.

First choice is a very, very thin billfold. The inside of each side has three slots for credit cards, and a thin metal clip runs down the inside spine for you to fold your currency/bills. Six credit cards and a substantial amount of cash = 3/4” thick.

Second choice is a credit card billfold. Has slots for about six credit cards, about 1/2” thick. Use a Philmont Scout Ranch money clip in my front pocket for cash.

My older brother, on the other hand, has a billfold that must be 4” thick. I believe he still has the receipt from the last eight-track he purchased at a Woolworth’s.

Wallets have different slots and compartments. Kind of a small scale purse. I like to pick my own. Give me a gift certificate to a leather shop or I'll go online.

A real man uses a money clip.

A real gentleman has a servant carrying his wallet.

Seasoned travelers have probably some experience with pickpockets and have a system to counter street encounters. Store clerks don’t expect to wait when they ask for ID, but they wait. And wait, while I dig through a few layers to get to the DL.

I don't know how I missed this thread...
Got to comment.

I gave up wallets, and just keep currency bills and change in my front pocket, and use a small "credit card" sized mini wallet that I carry in my shirt pocket, For credit cards, drivers license, auto insurance cards and occasional small notes. Works for me.

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

It depends on what is itching.........

OK, just kidding.

I hate to carry wallets so the only one I have is a tri-fold that only contains my debit card, library card, drivers license and a couple of other things. For my cash I use a money clip that goes in my front pocket......

A married man has no need for a money clip. After the wife and kids take their cut, there's not much left.

You may want to consider buying a wallet that blocks RFID devices.

I just fold the money over whatever else I need and stuff it in the front pocket.
Never seen a money clip fat enough. And wonder why even a clip would be used since
the pocket holds it all together folded.
