After becoming /fa/ I have a lot less pocket space in my pants. I recently got a slimmer phone, unbulked my keychain and the only thing left to do it replace my wallet.

I've been using a shitty AE wallet for years and it's time to cut the highschool crap and upgrade. What are some high quality thin profile bi fold wallets? I prefer a design similar to pic related.

I just use a cheap Kennith Cole wallet that I picked up for $25 at Tj maxx. It holds my cards and money, and the leather is nice.

I don't know if it's the pleb in me speaking, but I felt a Ralph Lauren wallet (Polo label) and it felt like absolute shit. The stitching was garbage, the leather feels like something you'd find on knockoffs of dreamboxes, and they retail for $120+. I could have a decent English made one for $100.

What exactly is wrong with brown leather. RFID protection limits options way too much and sounds a bit tinfoil hat for me. Coin pouch means the wallet is much thicker and gives a noticable bulge reducing comfort. i'm happy to spend money on items i carry around everyday and will use for a long time.

OP here. Absolute shit advice.

RFID protection is bullshit imo.
Coin pouches are useless and add unwanted bulk.

Are there any simple bi-fold wallets that are high quality and stand out a little?

I hear good things about this brand: http://ilbussetto.it/collections/wallets-and-card-cases/products/bi-fold-wallet#!multicolored

I also love the contrast between the plain leather on the inside and the stained leather on the outer.

Lol people still use cash? The only people that pay in cash are drug dealers. Since I'm not a degenerate and my wages get paid into my bank account I use my card. I'm not sure which backwards city you're from you absolute Neanderthal. Literally every bar, restaurant, shop and even taxis accept cards (most are contactless payment as well).

On the rare occasion I do have cash I'll put the notes in the middle section of the cardholder and keep change in my pocket (or just give it away as tips).

>Condoms
Since I'm not a teenager I actually have sober, consensual sex with my girlfriend who is on the birth control pill. It feels much better.

FYI I both live and work in the city so I don't need travel cards or ID and don't need to drive since I can walk/cycle everywhere. All I need is debit/credit card and a couple of loyalty cards.

OP here. I've never considered a card holder, but after watching the Bellroy video, I actually think it's a much better alternative. If I ever had cash, I could probably just fold it up and put it in the case, or get a money clip?

Although the condom dilemma is pretty shitty. I guess I could use my bi fold every now and then for that purpose.

Wallets are a form of class status, like watches and nice cars. If you pull out an SLP cardholder people will think you're rich and awesome. If you pull out a canvas wallet with Velcro tabs people will think you're a pot smoking degenerate with below average intelligence (you probably are).

It's actually called a match pocket. Workers/miners originally used it to store a box of matches.

>all these anti-cash fuccboi's

haha i know your type because ive stood behind you in line at countless places the world over when the debit machine goes down and you throw a bitch fit or look like a complete tool.

enjoy awkwardly explaining that you need to run across the street to the ATM in order to pay.

if you don't keep at least $50 in emergency cash on you at all times you're an idiot. cash is king, it's so fucking easy to keep some bills in the bottom of your wallet too which is why you're all such massive fuccboi's over this. you have debit / credit for mostly everything and the backup cash for when you need it.

but instead you take on this stupid all or nothing policy because you think you're cool as shit and have it all figured out but then you get fucked up when a computer crashes, or you need to greet an usher, or buy something at a sketchy bodega, or lend someone $5.

but no, keep on doing this because it's actually made me look smooth as fuck on countless occasions when the answer to "is debit alright?" turns out to be "no, sorry" and i get to say "no problem" right after you have a meltdown in front of me.
