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've got some outdoor pants...Submitted by Paul (not verified) on April 21, 2006 - 9:07am.
I've got some outdoor pants from Ex Officio that included a little nylon zipper pouch with a short lanyard that clips to a small loop in the pocket. This way you won't lose the pouch & its contents if it slips out of your pocket while hiking, etc. I've been using this in the front pocket of all my pants for almost a year now, after reading about how my fat wallet has been screwing up my lower back all these years. I think my friend Bobba is the pioneer of this minimalist craze. About 15 years ago, on a road trip, he said, "Shit, I lost my money." I announced to the group, "Hey, Bobba's lost his wallet, look around for it." Bobba: "No, I didn't lose my wallet, I lost my money." Us: "What was it in?" Bobba: "A wad." » POSTED IN:
