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

The problem with threads like this is that I end up wanting to buy about half of all the wallets mentioned--hardly "minimalist". Anyway, I ended up checking out my local Wilson's Leather after reading this thread, and lo and behold--they had the Magic Wallet on sale for $10. Sweet! It currently holds my driver's license, ATM card, two health insurance cards and one auto insurance card, some cash, and my lucky five pound note ("in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen"--name that tune, no googling). It's about a third of the size of my former wallet; I feel liberated. Of course, some of that size saving comes from moving my spare keys to my moleskine in the other pocket, but someone upthread had a very good point about not keeping your spare keys in the same place as your ID with address, so that's my rationalization. » POSTED IN:
