Off topic but where can you buy a wallet?

[Arc weld]

My wallet is getting worn and I need a new one but all the ones I looked at are too darn small to fit credit cards or bank cards etc. Even for standard business cards they're hard to get in. Is there anywhere to get a wallet that has a little larger slots for cards? It's annoying as heck.

I have always enjoyed checking out craftsman made wallets... I mean the kind you find at street fairs, etc. Lots of style and art. I also like supporting the idea of manufacturer direct buy.

I was just at Tractor Supply yesterday and saw some pretty nice Carhart billfolds near the cash register. If mine was bad I would get one of those. Pricey though, $25 about.

I have used a Sharkk wallet for a couple of years now. You can't keep a big wad of bills in one, but they keep my business cards fresh. Slides in and out of my front pocket easily and is water resistant.

Edit.. I had a link but can not get it to work.

Who has a big wad of cash these days anyways?

Duluth trading co has a few but you won't get them for $25. I am actually thinking of getting one before long, mine is getting rough and they carry high quality stuff. Ed

It is very hard to find a quality wallet. My wife bought me two for Christmas and they are too tight on cards.

I agree. I bought about a dozen off a street vendor in Korea about 2001. After giving many away and using 1 I'm down to three. They cost about $2@.

They are like these

I don't have any need for one any longer, but when I had business cards, I bought a business card wallet (wallet probably isn't the best term). They keep the cards crisp and flat. Of course, you don't carry this type of wallet in a back pocket.
As far as wallets...just get a cheap one from Walmart or equivalent. I always get leather, and by the time I replace it, the wallet is pretty beat.

Well it's mostly just ones.

Here you go, hopefully....

It a lot like what Roy was talking about but still has room for license, debit cards, ect, and a few dollars when I find any.

Why don't you need a wallet? I can't live without one.

I have a Carhartt three fold leather I got from Cabela's 8 years ago. Hold credit and business cards great, Money not so well. Or maybe thats just me.

Not the wallet...still got one (or two), it was the business card holder (which I referred to as a wallet). I haven't had business cards since 2012....when we moved to Vermont.

Some wallets are manufactured with metal mesh . To provide some Faraday Cage shielding . To reduce the range that some snoop can scan your cards with out in public .
Check with wallet manufacture that cater to EMS personal for something larger .

Wallets in a welding forum; well, I may not know about buying one but I recall a tale of one shot from the stack.

Many years ago a welder lost his wallet on site while working on some 24 in. Sched. 160 flare line. It remained missing until the line was purged thru a hundred foot ??? Stack. Came out the top and was recovered with contents intact.

My apologies for the distraction.

My wife got me one of those TV wallets for Christmas. the one that has all the plastic holders for credit and business cards. It hasnt had over $18 in it since I got it, may never find out how much it will really hold. One thing i discoverd when putting the contents of my old wallet into the new one. I didnt really need a new wallet, I just needed to clean out the old one. How does anybody accumilate that much junk and be able to store it in such a small container, I will never know.

I'd go to Amazon and search there. First thing I want is that it's a bright color. My current wallet is yellow. It's easy to see and I've never lost it like I did my previous wallets. Second, it has to be a bi fold. Those tri folds hurt my butt and they make cash fold up so it's difficult to handle. Only those two criteria matter to me

Regular wallets kept cracking my credit cards and insurance card. I use one of the aluminum wallets for cards. Supposedly scammers cannot pull the RFID info off the cards in these wallets. I don't know if it really works or not. Any cash goes in a regular, smaller wallet. Metal wallet in the front pocket and slim cash wallet in the back. Much easier to sit on a hard bleacher seat or folding chair with a skinny back wallet.
