I'm after a slim wallet as my current 'normal' one has seen better days. Any recommendations?

Ta 🙂

A bit different but I've been buying these duck tape wallets for years now [url= http://www.ducti.co.uk/cat-11-subcat-15-product-11 ]Ducti Wallets[/url]

They are quite slim and when it wears out you send it back with a few quid and they replace. ?

I love my Bellroy wallet. Super slim, plain, simple. Not cheap but will last for years i'm sure.

How have you got money to put in your wallet? Surely you must have spent it all on bike parts!

Me'thinks you are an imposter

Been using one of these for a couple of months - fairly slim, not ridiculously expensive - definitely worth a look:

If you log out you'll probably see all about the bellroy wallet, seems like it's every second advert on here.
Dalvey do some nice wallets, nice and slim.

Check out Trove. It's so simple and small. It's awesome!

I use a Dosh one. It's got three card slots and a money clip.

But really, all you need in a wallet is 1 card slot & room for notes.

I recently got the Bellroy note sleeve which is perfect for me as I really can't be arsed with folding bank notes. It still seems to disappear in your pocket. Found it for £55 on Working Class Heroes instead of the more usual £65, still seems a crazy amount for a wallet but it was a present from my wife and it is a lovely thing to use

In the spirit of true STW "recommend what you've got, regardless of the exact needs of the OP", I have one of these.

Slim. But rather lovely, too. 🙂

I have a Dash wallet. About as minimal as you can get. 2 or 3 cards and a few folded notes. Haven't missed a bulkier wallet at all since switching.

It's from Pickett. Available in many colours and formats, as well as materials. The prices are a little, erm, punchy, though. Was a lovely gift from Mrs CFH.

Just looked up the Picketts wallets, they are nice but you're not wrong about the prices, I thought the Bellroys were dear!

I've just used a money clip for a few years. This one infact.

Takes my 4 cards and any notes, coins are stashed in the cubby in the car. Only problem is the cards do wear out quicker - the 3 digit number on the back wears off!

I just use my phone case, it's got a pocket in it large enough for a debit card and a few notes.
Not using a wallet means it's one less thing for me to lose or forget.

Would love a Beerbabe version of my Dash wallet (the two pocket one is close but not quite). The wallet I switched from was one of her larger ones.

Been using a Ted Baker wallet the last 7 or 8 years. Has lasted amazing well, plain black leather outside, room for notes and few cards but no coin pocket so nice and slim. And nice bright purple inside!

These:
http://www.all-ett.com/mens-wallets/leather-wallets/classic-leather-original-wallet.html

Every time i kill one i look to see if there's anything better yet.
There never is.

Think they have a patent on the layout which is why there isnt anything else like it, and it's the side by side card layout is what makes them so thin.

I have always had the leather ones, but they also do a fully synthetic version.

Leather ones (leather on the outside, nylon inside) usually last me at least 5 years each.

Young lad who works as mechanic in my LBS and who is a pretty top rider too has recently set up his own workshop making bespoke leather goods. He will make you anything you want at a price that reflects the work that goes into proper artisan craftmanship ie. not cheap. It will however be unique.

check out his video here

I have a Beer Babe wallet, having switched from a Jimi wallet. I only carry one card but it'll take a dozen notes too, while being thinner than the Jimi.

I have used one of these for a few of years. Bank Card, Drivers licence and Match & More Card plus space for a bit of folded cash. Perfect for me.
