*** There is no need to spec me a new wallet, this thread has been bumped for an update, see here ***

My wallet is a few years old and it has too many compartments for notes. I used to put fivers in the front, tenners in the middle and anything larger in the rear section.

I only need one slots for notes, I certainly don't need a little compartment for coins because it's not a purse :D

Ideally it'll take a minimum of six cards with space for a couple more and somewhere to put my old pink/green driving licence.

And it should have a clip fastening.

And leather. None of your fabric or fake plastic leather for me, thank you very much.

This is what I've currently got, I think it's this one. I'm really after something similar but with fewer banknote slots but I'm struggling to find something that meets my requirements.

Any suggestions?

Useful thread as I also am in the market for a new wallet, but do appreciate having a place for spare change (which I increasingly use less and less)

Also two slots for notes is useful if you go on holiday and they use dual currencies (Caribbean) or you still have UK notes on you.
 
I'm rocking a Fossil wallet at the moment - it's similar to this one but slightly different:

Allen RFID Trifold - SML1550201 - Fossil

There's lots of different designs on there though.

EDIT: Found mine:

Lufkin International Combination - SML1396210 - Fossil

Ideally, yes.

Dude!
No clips, far too many purses there :(

No clip, but I bought this one a couple of years back that I'm happy with:

Looks good apart from no clip and it's got a coin thing, therefore it's a purse.

I'm sure you're spotting the trend from my comments :D. That's what pockets are for, I don't need a purse, I'm not a girl :cry:
 
This is deviating from your requirements but if most of your cards are for banks then you could get a curve card to cut down on the number of them.

Don't mess around with fashion brands.


These things wear in really well. I have the brown and shortly after got my brother a black one. The black one is a shinier finish. Mine is 4 years old and still pretty much mint.

I stick a few coins in my Big Skinny and because of how it folds it locks them in well. Obviously fall out if you put it upside down though.

They're not all bank cards so that's not realistic for me. Thanks though.

My son had a similar one to that but now just uses a card wallet thing.
Don’t know if you are a designer type of guy, it’s fairly muted imho though.

Edit, no clip so no use….sorry

I'm not a designer type of guy at all but that is almost perfect, except for it not having a clip. It's got the right number of card slots, it's got space behind the cards for me to put my driving licence and it looks like there's one compartment for notes. If it were thirty quid, I'd probably give that a try and see how I get on without the clip but not at £100.

Again, so close. What use is that clear plastic compartment?

You can see my old pink paper driving licence poking out from the original picture. Not sure how well that'd work in a plastic window.

Hmm, a little printed piece of paper "In an emergency contact...". Kinda reminds me of having a name tag sewn into ones clothes :D

Can't think of anything else that I'd put there.

I did say my requirements were quite specific, finding exactly what I want is becoming a bit of a challenge.

Well, you did ask :D some people like this feature.

Off topic but you can get a modern licence card free if you still have the ancient paper one.
