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

I gotta concur with the 2 others who recommended the All-Ett. First I got their standard 4-pocket model: , but hadn't realized they had the ultimate option, the junior 2-pocket model: . It holds 8 credit cards and tons of cash. And it's quite easy to quickly get out your MetroCard. The down sides of sail cloth have already been mentioned: sail cloth doesn't breathe (leg under wallet can get sweaty in the summer)sail cloth makes a bit of crinkly noise But I'd still recommend you try it. It's $20 w/ shipping. And I'd bet it's absolutely the best space-to-storage ratio of anything out there. » POSTED IN:
