Spec me a New Wallet

kinger88 · 19 Sep 2010 at 13:45

Well people of OcUK, I need your help in finding a new wallet.

I brought my current wallet 3 years ago while I was on holiday, it has served me well over my uni years but it is now falling apart. So now starts the hunt for a new one. I have looked at a few in the shops but they're all the same, in that they don't have a bloody pocket/zip for coins. Do designer think that us 'modern' men have no need for change? I always carry loads of coins around for parking, sweets etc etc, when paying on card is pointless.

So my spec me is

Budget of around £30.
Must have a secure compartment for coins.
I prefer a brown colour.

So what do you guys recommend or have.

Looks more brown IRL. Bought it in 2007 and still in very good condition.

I have neither of those, so my money is mine to spend as I wish

Loose change is for the pocket or somewhere in the car.

There is nothing worse than having a wallet that is bulging with £! coins.

Stick with a normal wallet !

If you insist though how about this

What you're after is a PURSE. Wallets don't have little cute pockets with zips for coins. That's what's pockets are for, coins are supposed to go jingle as you walk.

Get a wallet off the market for a fiver and whilst you're there buy a man bag for your change !!

Try Next, I got a decent brown leather one with coin compartment for £20. Don't spend any more than that, put the tenner you saved in the wallet. Job done!

Why waste money on a wallet when your body is full of useful orifices?

Why waste time stuffing it in places your mum wouldn't want to see.
