Lost wallet

[gnappi]

My leather wallet is 2" thick, no way one of those wallets will hold its contents.

I stopped carrying picks because I have too many guitars as it is and stay away from instrument stores.

I've lost my wallet exactly once in the nearly sixty years that I've carried a wallet and that was last January

Getting old is a B......

So clean it out and only carry the 1/2" that's actually important to carry. Or give in and just go on and get a purse.

My husband loses his wallet at times. I ask if I can help him search and he say "no", just reaches into my bra and takes it back!

Sounds like a good place to lose it

I have lost my wallet a couple of times. Once I know was the result of stopping to get gas and leaving my wallet on the bed cover of the truck. I went back and walked up and down the side of the road, in the dark, with a flashlight, until I found it.
The most irritating time was out of town. I spent an hour looking for it. There was no money in it thankfully. Someone did find it a week later and mailed it to me. I sent them back a thank you note with a gift card.

Nope, it's ALL necessary and not enough for a man's Euro bag.

It might be a good idea to just lay everything out on the table and take a picture of it with my phone so I’ll have it available. We have a MyWallet app for Louisiana that lets you load your drivers license medical cards, fishing license hunting license and have it available on your phone that’s legal without having the actual paperwork in hand. I have misplaced my wallet but was always able to backtrack and find it. I’m more likely to lose my keys, which I’ve done three times this year so far and always been able to recover them. Hope my luck doesn’t run out.

I really wish Texas would let people do the digital wallet for drivers licenses. We can use it for auto insurance cards. And credit card of course. But that’s about it.

Sort of related to this, but not sure if many people know. But if you have thousands of pictures on your phone, you can search by topic.

For example I have a picture of my license somewhere. But if I search “driver’s license.” I can find it.

Not sure if that’s common knowledge or not. My wife told me this about two months ago.

Not on my phone.

I'm also baffled why people keep thousands of photos on their phones. Download and delete.

We back everything up on Amazon cloud.

So I upload, but don’t delete. Why would I? Right now I have 20,000 pictures on my phone. And 470 GB on Amazon.

Hahaha, ok, whatever you say.

Those leather man bags can be pretty cool.

Shorts and loafers no socks. Why not?

Wouldn't know about that. I'll just stick with what's actually necessary in my wallet and leave the other 2/3 home. I could get rid of probably 1/4 of mine even but with that wallet no need to.

yep, a few years ago I got really annoyed at how thick my wallet was.

I tried the Ridge wallet. But any cash is rubber banded to the outside…not a good system.

Then I tried Hanks Belts. They make a very nice minimalist wallet. But I got the dark green and it kept disappearing.

Then I tried Nicks Boots. They make a nice minimalist wallet. Only they use a snap and I didn’t like the snap.

Then I got the Craft and Lore wallet. It’s nice. Hand sewn. I got the natural? No finish wallet so it will patina.

it’s not easy to find a good wallet.

To simplify your life.

. . . put it in your front pocket where it should be.

Front wallet people are millennial, Metro, or LBGTQIA(FW)+

Get a murse like I did. I think I look plenty sharp while out and about. Gets me a lot of dates, too!

Incredibly practical too. Think of how many spare mags you could carry.

I wouldn't get Louis Vuitton. Plain brown leather or maybe black nylon.

BTW, Indy started the modern murse. Men in skirts originated the murse.

Or the truth of the matter, the more intelligent of the crowd with happier spines and sciatic nerves.

 

[Armybrat]

While traveling I just carry my leather belly bag like Indy does that “murse”.
The Ruger SP101 .357 with its two speedloaders is being replaced by my Sig P365X and two spare mags.

Or the truth of the matter, the more intelligent of the crowd with happier spines and sciatic nerves.

Oddly, my wallet has never caused me back or leg problems. I posit that the Metro/LBGTQIA(FW)+ makes up complaints about back pain to justify their unnatural front wallet desires.

My GF told me that while in Italy a wallet in a rear pocket is soon gone.

 

[Kevin]

So who is going to tell that guy in the Kilt he isn’t manly to carry a man purse ?

A kilt is just a dress by another name.

I’ve wondered what you look like.

I really look like this . . .

Then sign me up. I quit carrying in my back pocket after my back injury almost thirty years ago. That ws reinforced by driving thousands of miles a month for work.

As to what I carry, debit card, emergency visa, DL & AAA. Cash goes on a money clip on the outside of the wallet. Less than 3/4" thick. Oh, and its a Farady wallet. I had my debit card scanned in a crowd once.

I don't consider myself any of your described people (or would anyone that actually knows me). But some unbiased people can actually think outside the box. I carry a driver's license, military ID card, wife's military ID (due to her stroke I need it to get her meds at the military pharmacy), two credit cards, carry permits (MD & UT), insurance cards (my Medicare, GEHA and the wife's Medicare, BC/BS). They make for a very thick wallet but are easily carried in a front pocket, ALONG WITH my penknife and pistol. Cash is in a clip in the other front pocket along with my rescue inhaler, and emergency pill container. I can also sit down, without a lump to contend with.

Carrying stuff in your front pockets ruins the lines of your trousers. FWIW, I have no trouble sitting.

You are truly an exceptional person. Of course some people have more fat on their butt than I do. That, plus a doctor told me that with my back's compressed vertibre I shouldn't carry a wallet because it will throw off the backbone somewhat.I don't worry about the 'line' of my trousers as Wrangler jeans lines are straight anyway.

Don't know about "fat" but I have been described as callipygian.

I've lost my wallet exactly once in the nearly sixty years that I've carried a wallet and that was last January. I figure that some nefarious person found it and had some fun with the cash. The worst thing is that it is hard to find decent wallets and my replacement sucks.

These are not cheap or crap. https://www.holtzleather.com/collections/all-wallets-copy-1
