Open Thread: What's your favorite minimalist wallet?
Merlin Mann | Apr 21 2006
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. 212 Comments

![]() I have a Fossil Front...Submitted by Pierce Presley (not verified) on April 21, 2006 - 9:56am.
I have a Fossil Front Pocket Money-clip (Not Bifold) that, of course, they don’t seem to make any more. (I have a long history of this. My wife and I joke that I’m apparently the only person to ever buy half-popped popcorn, au jus concentrate, almost any clothes I’ve found, ….) It actually has two pockets, on with a clear window with a damned handy oval cutout (makes getting the ID out for DHS, troopers, the odd schoolmarm with a fascist streak a snap, or rather, a slide. The other pocket is under the money clip, which is about the only piece of what the gaffer calls ironmongery; even the logo is fabric stitched to the leather. So far, it’s handled both my desire to have every stinking merchandise and insurance card I possess, and my more minimalistic impulses, with fewer problems than I’ve had with bifolds and trifolds; plus the money clip can adjust to lean times with the help of some pliers. It’s really adept at being a front-pocket wallet–I still sit with a lean from my days of combining a trifold with a cash business. I can’t go so far as binder clips and bulging wrist tendons, nor can I stand to pull-and-pray with a bi- or trifold residing up front. This wallet’s the best of all world (so far–I refuse to believe in perfection in actuality). When it gives up the ghost, I may have to learn tanning and sewing, and maybe blacksmithing, to replace it. » POSTED IN:
