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 use a cheap tri-fold nylon sports wallet. It's much more flexible and comfortable than leather, and so durable that I've been using the same one for about seven years now with absolutely no signs of wear. The Velcro closure makes sure nothing falls out, and there are several pockets so I can keep the things I use frequently readily available, while filing stuff I don't use as often elsewhere. Not as 'minimalist' as many mentioned here, but very, very organized. (Though I envy Brian, above, who uses an Altoids tin. I love organizing stuff in Altoids tins. But I've tried using one as a wallet and it just doesn't work for me. sigh) » POSTED IN:
