Spec me: A wallet

Akagi · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:43

Maximum of £25, would like it to be well made and reasonably slim. Would like it to have a windowed pocked for my drivers licence/ID if possible as well as somewhere to keep notes flat, and enough room for at least 4 cards.

I know I could just look myself (and I have) but you can't really tell how well made something is from pictures alone.

I know there are some people on here who love their wallets, so go nuts

Cheers guys

go to TK Maxx and see what tickles your fancy

I picked this up for 20 quid last week, doesn't have the driving license slot but is well made and i like the look of it.

That is quite nice actually cheers, i'll bear it in mind. I'll probably go into town at the weekend so will take a look.

Debenhams stock a very good range and there is a sale on at the moment.

Some cheap and cheerful wallets on Asos. All with what you're asking / looking for mate. I put a few below, but have a look yourself.

I could never own one of these, I need to have a change pocket in my ~~purse~~ wallet.

I like to keep change to a minimum and pay with a debit card whenever I can. Change makes the wallet really uncomfortable. If I need change for some reason it can live in the bottom of my pocket

They only seem to have three card pockets (not inc the ID pocket) but I might be able to work with just the three.

Debenhams do a nice selection. Should fit the bill

No pun intended

Serious question, why are you carrying your drivers license round with you?

Slightly less serious point, if you are aksed to show it to a copper he will want it out of your wallet so your window will be useless.

Really like those 2 wallets from tkmaxx, last time I went in they all looked crap! Gonna have to pop in next time I'm in town I think see if they have anything!

Redgie · 2 Jul 2013 at 16:38

Agreed on the point of having to have some kind of little change pocket in it. Otherwise every time I sit down it all comes rolling out my pocket!

PapaLazaru · 2 Jul 2013 at 16:42

Wallets with change pockets are for the elderly. I just have a leather three slot card holder which has a note holder for my dosh.

A wallet becomes a purse, the moment you put coins in it.

The man has a point. Scratch the windowed pocket.

And I would carry it simply because it is the most conveniently sized valid form of ID I have.

Out of the budget, but this thread gives me a secondary place to show this off

mrk · 2 Jul 2013 at 17:24

Genuine leather? Source? (seriously, pun maybe intended

).

Sova Leatherworks. A nice lady called Steph makes them in the States. She's got a website and Etsy store but I made contact through her Facebook page.
