Spec me a wallet

Halestorm · 7 Jun 2016 at 14:43

Ok GD

Im looking to replace my long serving, but pretty wrecked wallet.

Ideally I would like it to be a bi-fold, no closer (popper or zip), no coin pocket, because that would be a purse and I don't want a purse.

Also I would like a pull out travel card part if possible, as that would make it easier to use my travel card on the way to work.

Budget is probably a maximum of £35-£40 (wife is buying it an anniversary gift)

Bit more expensive than your budget but mine is awesome and holding up really well.

try and put some more to the fund and get a bi-fold from Aspinal of London.

I'm thinking that might be the best course of action, get my wife to pay most of it and then put some extra to it and get something that will really stand the test of time.

I have and I keep looking at them, they were mentioned earlier and the more I look the more I like them, will have to see what "the boss" says when I get home from work

I'm completely ignoring your requirements here but this is the best wallet I've ever had. I hate wallet bulge and this thing is amazing for carrying my cards around in.

Close. Third in the last month, all with identical titles :rolleyes:

At least Halestorm understands the difference between a wallet and a purse!

I have the Bellroy Hide and Seek Wallet which has marks and has a small tear in the coin pocket which means coins can get stuck and become difficult to remove. I tend to look after my possessions so I have no idea how it has developed the marks or tear. They're not major things but I think it's wise to post a balanced view.

Bellroy are often made out to be the best thing since sliced bread so I went for a Bellroy have seeing recommendations on here. It's OK but hardly amazing, and the quality is alright but not as great as some people make out, especially when you consider they're not exactly cheap...
