KeymasterI confess. I have more wallets than my wife has purses and shoes combined. I truly appreciate the skill and effort to construct a fine wallet. I have a little of everything except for the metal and plate style wallets. They just don’t do it for me.
But this is my dilemma. I can’t find the perfect wallet. I need help.
Let me first tell you what I have to carry:
Drivers license
Handgun permit
Collapsible baton permit
Insurance card x2 (medical and dental)
Debit card
Credit card x2
6 to 8 bills on averageI can fit that into a pretty minimalist wallet. Oh, and I front pocket carry. Rear pocket carry will mess up your back. I see this all the time. (I’m a Physical Therapist Assistant)
My problem is receipts. When I purchase with a debit card, I put the receipt in my wallet so I can transfer the total to my check ledger. This is where it gets out of hand. After a few receipts, maybe breaking a $10 and ending up with several singles, and BOOM! I have a fist size lump in my pocket.I have tried a little of everything. I own Pall, Col. Littleton, Saddleback, Big Skinny, numerous handmade such as Garny, Headlands handmade, Noise, Bellroy,Herschel,and other brands I have long forgotten their names. I also have tried the wallet plus money clip solution. Ends up being to much stuff to carry. By the time I have my wallet, keys, phone, knife, carry gun and spare mag,tobacco, and ink pen, and sometimes a flashlight, I am out of room.My latest acquisition was a Chums surfers wallet. Didn’t work for me, but my son loves it.
If you folks can think of something I haven’t seen, or don’t own, I would appreciate suggestions. I could sew two cows back together with all the leather I have acquired, and I must stop the madness…………
