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.

All this talk of minimalist...

All this talk of minimalist wallets inspired me to move my IDs, a couple of credit cards, some business cards, and some bills into the pockets of my Levenger Pocket Briefcase, which I carry everywhere anyway (GTD notes). Like a previous post, this and my Blackberry gives me everything I need!

I might go with the International Pocket Briefcase if this continues to work out well.
