Wallets

[Jorge]

Tell me about your wallet situation

I don't mean your finances, but your actual wallet. Haha!

Is it big and bulky? Slim and minimalistic?

I've seen ads for those Ridge Wallets and they seem interesting but also like they could scratch up my cards pretty good

[Monkey_Driven]

Thin and sleek. I rarely carry much cash and only need 4-5 cards + ID at a time.

[doug rr]

stopped carrying one probably 10-12 years ago

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Brown leather tri-fold I got when I was 17. I embossed my initials on it when I worked at a leather goods/fancy lighter/luggage store but only the faintest imprint is left

If it wasn’t for my id i wouldn’t carry one. I pay with Apple Pay at most places now.

i still carry one for a few cards (ID, credit), and it's thin with a money clip on it, though i can't recall the last time i held cash with it.

i can see myself getting away from one, as i do love a tap-to-pay situation with my phone.

Anthony Fantano pushes these things like crazy. I was tempted until I read that they shred cards.

How long have you had this? I wonder how nylon holds up vs. leather.

I've had it about 15 months, still good as new. I will update this thread annually

They're also pretty expensive for what they are. $150 for a couple of slidey pieces of carbon fiber and a money clip? Eh

[E.H. Ruddock]

I’m thinking about switching to the phone case that you can keep your ID and a few cards in

[Ello Sailor]

Seems like a no-brainer if you use Apple Pay.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

A lot of places in Alabama still only accept cash or check, so it will be a long time before I can exclusively rely on paying via phone app.

That way if you lose your phone you conveniently lose a bunch of other stuff too

I say the same thing to myself every time I see one of these.
