Maybe you guys should pair your purchase of a new slim wallet with a small bag, like a cross-body bag or a fanny pack or a purse or a backpack.

I've taken to wearing this on short outings:

Thanks for the concern. Duly noted.

This sort of thing is what the lovely little eshays of my little corner of the world wear. Wankers all sadly.

Big cross body bags do kind of make me think people might be selling drugs. But the little ones like this just maybe look a little gurly

They used to be considered cool, and then they became extremely uncool, and now they're sort of cool again

sure, but people reach a certain point in life where they stop caring about what's cool and choose utility over style.

I'm pretty much there now.

That's cool

it's extremely cool.

Fair and compelling point. I think I too no longer have fucks to give.

It's useful in warm weather when I don't have a jacket in which to secure all my necessaries. Especially when I'm going to stores or museums or the like, where people with backpacks are automatically viewed as terrorism, theft, and/or mass shooting suspects.
But that little 1L bag comfortably fits my phone, wallet, keys, car key fob, eye drops, lip balm, blotting paper, and a little flashlight. I could fit another small item or two in there if needed

Much bigger than a wallet, but I have a daily use back pack that's main purpose is to transfer my laptop between home and work, but in reality is my "Go Bag" that holds all my must haves.

Best believe I'm grabbing that when the zombie apocalypse hits.

It’s easy for fanny packs to fall down holes.

nothing is safe.

I gotta see this pack. Is it one of those padded laptop packs, or just a regular pack? Also, how big is your laptop?

Also, Argo's fanny pack is straight fire.

It's a standard back pack size, so easy big enough for my 15 inch laptop. The wiffey commented just yesterday what an ugly green it was.

So that's a no on seeing the pack? FUCK

I’ll show you my phone case wallet when it gets here Wednesday

Hell yeah, open that bad boy up and all.

Apparently there are wallet YouTubers

i use a tiny wallet meant for an ID insert. just keep the bare basics: ID, health card, and a couple credit cards.

This just be the finest wallet ever created if you’ve had it that long. I’ve had several literally fall apart.

I’ve been getting into the Apple Pay lately, but super annoying when a place that should take it doesn’t. Looking at you Home Depot.
