Bi-fold for me. Need a new one with CC slots WIDE enough to let me pull them, each inside its own paper sleeve, quickly.

I've been carrying a $20 Walmart wallet for 2 years and it's in good shape. I like the long wallets because I like my money flat. I carry it in the front of my bibs.

I have always carried a small wallet for business card s, credit cards and licenses. Carry cash in my pocket either with or without a money clip.

I have a Tony Lama bi fold made from some reptile hide. I bought it at a cowboy shop in Sheridan , Wy. 10 years ago and it still looks like new.

This is all I've used for about 12 years. They are extremely light and thin. Mine with 15 various types of cards including CC's Debit cards, Drivers license, Carry Permit, hunting license, and several forms of ID along with 15-20 bills of various denominations is thinner than most other wallets empty. It flexes when you sit and is by far the most comfortable wallet I've ever used. By a long shot. https://www.amazon.com/Allett-Slim-...&hvtargid=pla-569135265590&psc=1I used to order straight from the manufacturer. https://www.all-ett.com/collections/classic-collection/products/nylon-original-walletI usually get 3-4 years out of one before the corners start wearing holes in them. I've been afraid they'd stop making them and have spares put back so I'm good for another 10 years minimum. One tip. If you only have 1-2 cards in each of the 4 pockets for them the fit is loose enough that your cards may fall out when in use. I found myself dragging out some old ID cards and such that I normally didn't carry just to fill in the space and make the cards fit tighter.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Ya heard about the wallets the Rabbis make out of foreskins? In an emergency you rub them and they turn into an overnight bag.

I use a front pocket wallet. I got tired of the buttons and flap on my uniform pants, plus it helps my back. The one I have has a spring loaded arm inside for the cash, ID window on the front and 2 card slots on the back. Plenty for my uses.

I use a trifold but it resides in my front pocket. I can't sit on a wallet anymore. I’ve operated tractors, back hoes, can’t stand billfold in my back pocket.

I just bought the BlackJacket bi-fold from Olde Dog Sewing. https://oldedogsewing.com/collectio...the-black-jacket-kevlar-sailcloth-walletWeighs nothing, thinner loaded than my leather one empty. It’s washable being made from recycled Sail cloth.

Need a new one. Tri or BI-fold?
I'm practical, and frugal, but I want it to last. Tri-fold. Mine is nylon, probably cordura. 20-ish years old, maybe more. I could not give a [bleep] about "old fashioned." I feel more nekked without a wallet than I do without pants. My chiropractor doesn't like it, says it makes me sit crooked which is the main problem with my back. I thanked him for trying so hard to empty it every visit. Tom

My wallet stays in my center console, my people take care of any transactions
I still need someone to carry the boombox around.

My wife and I own a couple of retail stores. One of them is a men’s store. It was very difficult for us to find decent quality leather goods. I ended up finding a guy that will hand make wallets, notebook covers, watch straps, and other things for us. He does really good work with high quality products and it’s no more than what you find in mass produced items from Fossil or other brand names. An idea of places to look anyway.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pdP2fSSvL._AC_UL320_ML3_.jpgI carried a wallett for many years. A friend gave me one of these and I fell in love with it. Front pocket and holds all of my cards and cash just fine. Could not sit on the fat wallet anymore plus this thing is 10 years old and still works as good as new. Try it you will like it.......

Thanks for posting this! I'm looking for a wallet that holds many credit cards but is as thin as possible. John

I switched to this one and have been pleasantly surprised. It holds all the cards I need and some bills. It took awhile to get used to after years of carrying a thick bi-fold. https://saddlebackleather.com/leather-wallet-card

Cash and whatever credit card(s) I’ll be using wrapped in a rubber band.
