    Default Front Pocket Wallets

    I have been using a front pocket wallet for years. However, I think the one I use now is the only one that was sold that way and it utilizes a money clip that I hate. The rest have been adapted business card holders or something.

    Anybody got suggestion for a well thought out one?

    Maybe one by Rapha?

    Slim Leather Wallets | Thin and Front-pocket Wallet by TGT (Tight)
    Picked up one of these in Brooklyn a few weeks back. Simple, clean very well executed leather and stretchy cloth.
    IIRC the store that had them was close to Magila Rosa

    I have been using those cheap little Guatemalan woven zipper bags for years. You can get a drivers license, credit card/debit card, Costco card, medical card and a $100 bill in them with room for several more cards, but that is all I ever need. You can surf, bike, or go on vacation with that much stuff no problem. Anything else to me is just asking to lose stuff.

    I switched to one of these a few years ago based on a recommendation here...

    I'll never go back.

    My wife bought me a Rapha X Paul Smith card wallet a few years back. I've just put it back into regular use after getting bored of my Dosh iPhone wallet, and it's nice to be using it again.

    However, this thread has reminded me I need to check out the local Bellroy supplier - either my jean pockets are different shape, or my phone is now a different size (or both) because my wallet and phone no longer sit as comfortably in the same pocket as they used to...

    I've been using the Allett sport wallet for years fit's comfortably in the front pocket carries everything I need and more. I've had both the Nylon and Leather versions and the price is hard to beat. I think Toots may have purchased one after our last wallet thread.

    I've been using a card sleeve (with slots) that my wife made for me a few years ago. Duct tape baby! But I'm liking that Alice Park design. Might have her craft up something similar.

    I have the saddleback model. It is very nicely made but not as slim as some other options, it ends up similar thickness to my phone. I have ~8 cards and a small amount of cash most of the time, less cards would help but I like to chase rewards.

    Really nice is a severe understatement Curt. I was lucky enough to test a couple of these. The gent who is making them has old world skills that are truly a gift.

    Dude, Curt--that building is crazy. It's awesome to see what they have done and all the neat stuff going on in there. Down the road at 3100 could be called something like the family business, even if it's not my family name on the shingle. Glad to see the old buildings in heavy use.

    Also, on topic: I like my Bellroy I have a slim sleeve and my wife has a note sleeve. The slim lives in my front pocket 95% of the time, and is also great in an inner jacket pocket. My wife really appreciates that her's will fit euros and pounds perfectly.
