Cheech Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've been using this since 2003 and has held up great. Been through Iraq, countless field rotations, rain, mud, whatever else I have been able to throw at it. No wear on it at all. I love this wallet.http://www.opticsplanet.net/spec-ops-t-h-e-wallet-100070101.html#That's bordering on a man-purse. How do you carry that, Indiana Jones style? I rocked one of these for about 6 years before I relented and went back to a leather bi-fold, carried in front pocket. The only reason I gave it up is because I beat the hell out of it and it got a little bent up, but still very functional. Even with a little cash in the clip, it was still one of the slimmest wallets I've had.When I say I beat the hell out of it, I mean this thing took the brunt of my lowside in Newark when I landed on it as I was sliding. Definitely saved my thigh from some rash, the only thing that happened to the wallet was the money clip popped off (which takes SIGNIFICANT amounts of force to do). Popped it back on, no problems.

crb Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I really need to slim my wallet down. I carry a leather trifold and its absolutely full. I hate these damn grocery store and gas station saver cards. I'm thinking about going back to a money clip as cash makes it too big. My grandfather Inlaw made me a nice money clip several years ago for Christmas. I think ill check out the fossil it would be nice to pullout just the essentials for on the bike and four Wheeler. I used to have 2 wallets that I carried one strictly for work cards Well one was actually a business card holder. 2 fuel cards and 6 or 8 truck stop reward catfd got to be too much for 1 wallet.

mike884 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 In an attempt to reduce the costanza wallet, I went ahead and purchased an original all-ett wallet. It is very utilitarian, but very thin. Much nicer to have in the front pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what your vehicle situation is like, but could it be possible that those truck stop rewards and fuel cards only need to be in the car and not necessarily on your person?Also, what Tyler said about the bifold. Much slimmer, and spread out over a larger distance won't make your pockets bulge out that much. Of course, if you stuff it full of crap all bets are off.

crb Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) try switching to a bifold....i cant stand trifolds, way too thick for meI've carried the trifold so I could carry more cards, but I think I'm going to cut down how many cards I carry. Usually my wallet isn't a problem unless I put a bunch of cash in it for instance the ATM was out of 20's so I got 10 10's. Money clip will solve the cash issue. I need to pull out credit cards that I don't use. Hell I have 2 CHL cards, only 6 cards might be hard. I don't carry the truck stop reward cards anymore I fuel at our terminal.

baptizo Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 My sister gave me a really nice Columbia bi-fold a few years ago for Christmas and it's holding extremely well. The only issue I I've had with it is it'll create cracks in CC's in the card slots.The Fossil's look like what I've been wanting as a replacement and I'm going to see about getting one ASAP.

Cheech Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 http://www.louisvuitton.com/front/#/eng_US/Collections/Men/Small-Leather-Goods:eek:True, but if taken care of the stitching and craftsmanship on those wallets will last for decades. Unlike Coach and some other "luxury" brands, LV actually engineers their shit well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
