Open Thread: What's your favorite minimalist wallet?

Submitted by Merlin on April 21, 2006 - 4:55am.

Like most 43F articles on economical carriage and stowage, the Jimi post attracted a lot of interest. Makes me think it’s time for an open thread: What’s your favorite minimalist wallet? Jimi? Slimmy? Moneyclip? Coin purse? Goin’ commando? Spill in comments (and feel free to link to canonical product pages or price compar-i-nators like Froogle).

My own winner for minimalism? Starting before a trip to New York in the late 80s, I started wrapping my driver’s license, ATM card, and a bill or two in a couple of my Goody pony tail holders (shut up). I think that was my wallet for at least the next two years – until I got my first real job and decided to go cowhide again. Still, it remains one of my favorites.

Tiny Meat (www.tinymeat.com) has great, thin platicky/vinyl wallets - holds a little more than the hard plastic “Jimi”, but a lot less than a traditional wallet. It holds up well too - I’ve had mine since December, and its still in great condition.
