Wallets 1

I missplaced my wallet after sniffing a large line of ketamine and going skinny dipping in the ocean some night last week.
I feel like a persons choice of wallet, like their choice of shoes or watch says a fair a bit about the type of person they are.
The time has finally come for me to buy an a decent 'adult' wallet. I don't mind spending a bit of money on it either, but I want something that will actually last and look suave. I know nothing about brands or shit like that and I've bought shitty ones off of ebay before, so this time I'm going to do it right.
Anyone got any recommendations or suggestions?

I have an old trifold hurley wallet from my teenage years that I'm looking to replace. I'm considering a dark leather bifold. Bifolds carry less but I guess that would force me to be less reliant on having multiple cards.

What kind of wallet was it that you lost?
I've been using a simple bi fold wallet that my dad gave me when I was like 10 or something.
By the time he gave it to me it was already 10 or 15 years old.
Leather.
Just get a leather wallet that has sturdy seams. As long as you don't lose it or try and break it, it should last until you can give it to your kid. Or until whenever you decide to retire it.

This wallet shopping thing is hard.. pics and links would help. I'm a big fan of simplicity and brown leather, but I don't even know where to begin to look for one that isn't going to fall to bits within a month.

No wallet, just a coin pocket and cash. Sometimes card if I'm going to stay sober.

Leather with 2 ID slots & 8-10credit/card slots . Divider for two amounts of money. Preferably a zipper on one pouch
That's my perfect wallet & current wallet . Just got a new wallet because my last wallet was literally falling apart and my sniffing straw kept falling through the holes. It has a really nice rich brown leather

Sounds like mine. No zipper pouch on mine. My dad gifted it to me 6/7 years ago and its still holding up pretty well. Leather bi-fold is what you want!
I used a money clip for a while, but felt to sketchy keeping it in my front wallet. This summer actually, I watched a kid's money clip fall out of his pocket in one of my classes. He didn't notice until someone pointed it out- dude had like a rack stuffed in that clip too.

If I were looking for a wallet that fit your criteria, I'd start here and here. same site but slightly different lists
Personally, I have a handmade wallet made of Koa wood from Kauai, Hawaii when I visited there. Most of them had little cheesy beach scenes or chickens (tons of the things on that island) etched into them with a laser or something but I asked for one without and she went in the back and brought out a bunch of plain ones in a box that hadn't been etched, and she let me pick whatever one I wanted. I found one with knots in the wood on both sides of the wallet--the only one like it. The nice lady that made it trimmed the extra thread off of it before she sold it to me, the final detail hinting at the handmade process. It's pretty gorgeous one of my favorite keepsakes

You can get nice leather wallets that have the RFID protection built in for like $35 on Amazon. If you have a debit/credit card with the chip on it, it might be a worthy investment.

I had a very rich japanese man staying at my hotel a couple weeks ago that had a velcro neon pink anime wallet.
Adult wallet psh.
I have a dark purple velcro wallet. I get ragged on for it a lot, it adds for good jokes.

Velcro wallets are awesome, people can't steal your money without you hearing it a mile away. Saved my buddy from being robbed in his sleep when everyone else got their wallets and purses emptied. I'm shocked the guy didn't take his wallet entirely.

For traditional, mens wallets the basic choice is between a bi-fold and tri-fold. After that, the next choice is material, though leather is the classic choice.
Personally, I go with a classic tri-fold leather wallet.
Alternatives are money clips, and slimmer types of clips.

Swimming on ketamine sounds like a recipe for drowning. I'd avoid such a thing at all costs.
That being said just get a simple black leather bi-fold or tri-fold wallet.
I have simple $5 black wallet that has held up for years.
No one cares what your wallet looks like. No need to overthink it.

Dude, the wallet I'm using is the first and only adult wallet I've ever owned. I got it around 14 years old at the market of marion in central Florida. It is a symbol of my own stability in some weird way. When I don't want to loose something, I stick it in my wallet. I lost it in the Ocala national forest and went back to find it. It's made of leather and was the only thing to survive a small fire at my grandma's house. It is essentially the only material possession to stick with me through every fucking experience I've ever had.
I'm kind of mind-blown at this right now actually. Every time I went to jail... my homie wallet was booked in with me. Through every crazy experience, both psychedelic and surreal... my homeboy, my wallet was there. Fuck a fly on the wall... if my wallet could talk, oh boy the things it would say.
