So, since @Dial & Bezel introduced me to the wonderful world of selvage jeans; something that I have been meaning to get into (no pun intended) for the longest time...

My next en-devour is to get myself a nice wallet. I'm currently using a Bellroy Note Sleeve. It's nothing to write about, but it does its job really well.

1) i like that its slim (somewhat when its not stuffed with groceries receipts)
2) coin compartment.
3) 8-10 cards compartment



Pic isn't mine, but same thing.

It's black though, and rather boring.

Share your wallets!

 

Never thought I’d see the day I’d feel like a squirrel...

 

Saddleback leather

Trust me, 100 year warranty decent prices excellent workmanship.

 

Got mine off Etsy - I like the look of the leather, plus the ability to customise it to exactly the number and type of compartments/slots that I need. It's Italian.



Had another made for a friend,also customized, from another Etsy leather maker. Turned out pretty well too. A little more plain, but the leather is thinner so the wallet is overall less thick.


Lots of options for custom wallets on Etsy, with a wide price range.

 

Need a little colour? These are made out of outstandingly soft leather

I own one, but don't have any connection to the company

 

+ 1 for Bellroy. Does the job. I am pretty happy with it and have stuck with it for a few years now. How special do you need for something that sits close to your arse most of the day?

 

I use an Excentri and it hardly ever goes in my arse pocket, mostly in my hand or a jacket pocket.

 

that's pretty nice. i wouldn't put that there either.

 

Since it is an Omega forum and this toppic comes up... Here's an Omega wallet I got from a German dealer some time ago... Never use it but it looks very nice in my (humble) opinion. Cheers.[/ATTACH]

 

I bought a Mullberry wallet 4 years ago. It cost about 250 USD. Complete waste of money, no better than one that cost a quarter of that.The stitching started to come off after a few months. Don t think I will waste any more money on expensive wallets again.

 

Haha! Thanks for the reply! Well, same goes for the watch right? I mean a casio tells the time! How special do you need it to be?

I think a nice wallet kinda goes well with a nice watch, shoes, pants/jeans and maybe a ring.

 

Fossil brown leather, couple of battle scars and it holds 8 credit cards 2 forms of ID and notes. Its not a million $ but it works for me.
Also have a thin Dark blue leather FCUK for travel only holds 2 cards and some folded notes but its easy to conceal.

 

Even they have wallets:

(thanks)

 

I've had my "original" Taxi Wallet with canyon leather for 15 years at least and it hasn't popped a stitch. Fantastic wallet.

 

A friend of mine does small leather goods. Really good stuff and not overly expensive.

I have to say I’m always very happy with mullberry
products, too bad you don’t have the same exerience.
You could have a timex for 1/100th of an omega and it’s no less and don’t need a 500€ service every 5 years

 

I've had "nice" Coach wallets that leached leather dye onto my license and credit cards, and I've had cheap wallets last for years. My current wallet is a fairly nice one from Property Of and it's held up fantastically, considering all of the in/out movements of credit cards etc.

 

Nice wallets, but nobody seems to have any actual money in them...

 

Especially not after the last few watch purchases!

 

This is indeed true, and something that applies to all "luxury" goods, if my first Omega watch didn't live up to my expectations I would not spend money hoping the next one would be better. I think with expensive items, you only get one chance to win over the customer and Mullberry have lost this one, although I am sure they make plenty of quality products.
