Minimalist/Front pocket Wallets

[Rocket20_Ginsu]

I’ve carried a couple of different Bellroys with good success. This one:

is about five years old now and holding up well. I carry three cards including my DL and a couple of paper slips like my insurance card. I carry cash loose in my front pocket so I can pull out the right size bill eyes off based on the fold. Cash is mostly for alms these days.

I have the same and really like it - it took me a while to find this and it hits the spot for me. I really like the pull to get to the cards in the center.

Been rocking these for a few years and very happy with them. I use one for everything normally in my wallet and my old one that the elastic gave out on as a business card holder for work.

Still very happy with my Big Skinny New Yorker.

The Amazon description shows the thickness as .4 inches. I need space for about 8 cards, can you guesstimate the thickness based on what you carry? it'd be a big help. Have a supposedly "thin" front-pocket bi-fold design thats about 7/8" thick.

I have mine stuffed with at least 12 cards, plus I keep some cash folded in the center.
Measuring with calipers at the thickest part, what you see below is almost exactly 1.0 inches without squeezing.

I really like that I get 4 distinct areas to keep things. DL and LTC stuff in one section, personal cards, business cards and "stuff I don't use often but like to have"...
I've never been a fan of those wallets where you just stack the cards in a pile and push them out... but.. maybe if I took a training class I could get one to work for me.. /JK

Once a year or so I'll empty it out, clean it and scan all my cards to keep an updated record of expiration dates, etc.
When it's empty, it's very thin... I would think 0.4 is overstated, but, maybe not...

I tried a Tyvek wallet a while ago and while I liked it, it didn't have quite enough organization for my liking. I still use it if I'm going out on date night and only need to carry a few cards... If you are at 8 cards, you might be able to find a Tyvek that works... Cheap enough to give it a try.

I hope that helps.

ETA this one is my EDC for the past 4.5 years (Amazon says March 2018). Still in good shape.

I’ve been using the same wallet for almost 4 years.

The elastic is starting to go snd the wallet is showing wear. I’ll be buying a replacement. The price sure hasn’t gone up much.

I like the organization/separation, too. My biggest bitch is most of these have the slots oriented to the short edge. Had one like that and it was a royal PITA to get the cards out. I clicked your link and saw these slots are oriented along the long edge. Ordered from Amazon. Looking forward to checking it out...

This is what I've been using for a while, which when full with all my cards and a few bills is only as thick as some of the options presented here when empty:

Got a few years on my softshell Micro Slimfold right now with no discernable wear, and I wish there was a Pistol Forum "relief fund" to buy one of these for some of you guys because of how absurdly large some of the other options mentioned here are compared to these.

I have the same one and Im fairly certain it was one of your old posts that turned me into it. Great wallet and I love the material. Doesn't absorb water or sweat like leather.
