I have a couple of Paul Smith wallets and really like them and they last so well. One is an orange almost tan one with PS in metal in the bottom corner and the other is like this

What are people getting the duck tape wallets from?

You can buy them from Ducti, or the 3m website has instructions for making your own. I think the Ducti ones sort of defeat the object, personally. I've got two duct tape ones that I've made, I only use them occasionally though. I don't really find them as good as a proper wallet because... well they're made out of tape.

If you have to ask where to buy your wallet from then you probably don't have the required funds to put in the wallet.

There is no money pouch, its not a bleeding coin purse.

I was waiting for this claptrap to start.

Putting coins in a wallet doesn't make you less of a man, but losing all your change every time you sit down or get in a car, and jingling while you walk does make you a numpty if you've got a perfectly good wallet in your pocket.

Not to mention shortening the life of your pocket

to add, I use one of these currently Next Wallet

It's not spectacular but is nice enough for daily use and does the job it was intended to do. It was initially a stop gap solution after I lost my wallet.

I'd rather have a £5 wallet with £85 in! You get my point ya technical ****

Eventually you just get to the point where you don't really want to be going around with £190 in your wallet.

Currently on the black/grey/white version of this:

Top quality, strap keeps everything together, bit of a pain at first to undo it everytime but I quickly got used to it and now have no problems even when i've had a few (or many).

have had a few compliments from cashier staff when ive got it out to get my bank card etc in various places.

LOL

Along the lines of "why are you making hugely exaggerated flapping gestures with your wallet? did it cost more than the money in it by any chance and you want me to notice that?"

I was thinking "Sir, please stop waving that thing around, you're doing to have someone's eye out!"

Im using that now, but the free one you get with a Natwest Student Account

Fits about 6 cards perfectly, and can put cash too.

Never understood the 'must have a nice wallet' business

Mine's about 8 years old and says 'Vans off the wall' on it!

It's served me well!
