I admit it: I am obsessing over choosing a new wallet. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have not carried a ‘traditional’ wallet for 34 years. What I did carry was my LEO shield and ID card in a leather folder – in my front pocket – along with my driver’s license and a credit/bank card as needed. That was it. I carry my loose bills and coins in another pocket.
The reason I have to change all this is that as of the end of this year, and what will then be 35 years, I will no longer be carrying that shield and ID. Yeah, I will get some sort of ‘retired’ ID card and a miniature shield, but they would look weird in a regular sized folder. At least, weird to me. I would, however, like to carry that little shield clipped someplace inside my new wallet.
What ever I decide on, I am pretty sure it will have to be carried in my front pocket. After all these years, all my pants are molded to it! I also doubt that I could ever get used to carrying a wallet anyplace else. I don’t figure it will have to be very thick, since I don’t plan on carrying much besides my license and a credit card or two. And I think I’d favor cloth over leather.
I remember seeing a wallet that had some sort of a belt clip (not a money clip) on it for IWB-type carry. I’ve been looking for something like that, but so far no luck. I did find an outfit that makes belt clips (theclip.com) and just ordered a couple to possibly try adding to an existing wallet. Or maybe even making one if I can’t find something already on the market. Or just using them on something else. I am sure readers here will understand the thinking there!
I have looked at Maxpedition, Special Ops and a few similar makers and so far, nothing has ‘reached out to me.’ Fortunately, I can plan on carrying my current ‘wallet’ for another 8 months at least, so there is no hurry. As I said, I am just obsessing. And any suggestions would be most appreciated — Thanks!
