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

 Minimalist options that work for...Submitted by B Johnsen (not verified) on April 25, 2006 - 4:19pm.
Minimalist options that work for women are extremely limited. Clothes permitting, I carry what I need, tailored to where I'm going, loose in my pockets. For other times, I used to have what was essentially a large (3.5x6.5x0.5" vertical) cotton twill tri-fold wallet, with various zips, slots, and pockets, on a long cord. Unfortunately it died after many years of service and could not be replaced (sob). For several years now I've been using the somewhat larger (4.5x8.5x1.5" horizontal) Norm Thompson 'Save Your Sanity' Wallet in black microfiber. It's still small, lightweight, handsfree, and (for something that's hanging off your body) quite comfortable. » POSTED IN:
