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

@ Roadkillkid: Is your life really much less complicated now? Or does it only feel that way? I'm just wondering, because I know that I could remove about half the cards in my wallet, as I only use them about once every other month, and it would make my wallet about 1/4 of an inch thinner... but then I'd have to think about which set of cards I want to take with me every time I head out. Will I need this card? Will I need that card? It seems like a bad tradeoff for me. @Pierce Presley: Yeah. I used to use the money clip/card case as well until the clip broke one day and I had to go with the bifold version. I liked the other version a bit better, but the bifolds aren't too bad. » POSTED IN:
