Spec me a wallet

BigglesPiP · 24 May 2013 at 12:54

I am optimising my daily carry and I need a slimmer wallet. I want a single fold with space for cash, about 10 cards (most to be stashed away in one slot really tight, 2 get used regularly).

I like this: http://bellroy.com/wallets/note-sleeve-wallet But I do not like that it's priced for hipsters living in SF.

Who knows where to get nice, well built wallet at a more sane price?

Have you checked out any of the Fossil wallets?

I used to use a thin leather name tag from a bigger wallet as my main wallet, it held about 4 cards and you could slide notes down the side.

Recently changed for this

It's great quality and pretty unique!

Check out one of these: Exentri Wallets

A couple of friends have they, slim, good design and seem to last well.

Clear favourite so far, thanks.

Though something with less card slots would be nicer, so many pointless layers of leather. It's OK for cards to tough each other.

How about Ted Baker?

I have had my Ted wallet for about 4 years and still going strong

I've got an Aspinal wallet. Had one for years until it got stolen and I had to buy another one!

Edit: Damn, just seen it's priced about the same as the one you linked to!

I've got one similar that cost 3 euros on a Spanish market

Your wallet won't be slim for long if you keep 10 cars in it. Stack 10 cards on top of each other to see how thick it will eventually get.

I don't have 10, it's an estimate based on that I have 2 I use, then a few I don't and some slips of paper and I always carry earplugs (don't ask).

Main point is I need relatively few card slots and a pouch.

Have a look in debenhams if you are near one, I was able to get my brother one for his birthday at a good price. Big range of styles and his is holding up well 2 years on.

I have the Hide and Seek Wallet from Bellroy, beautifully made and hard wearing and still a nice slim wallet. I can't stand carrying bunches of keys and having things in my pockets, so this is ideal for me.

To be fair it's not a bad price for such a wallet, backed by a 3 year warranty. You get what you pay for,in this case a beautifully made and hard wearing wallet.

After reading this thread I'm now feeling my last wallet purchase was a bit more extravagant that I thought!

When I need a new wallet I generally head round to TK Maxx and they have a few different kinds to choose from, although as usual somewhat picked through.
