A bedale, what do you have?

Wife said no to the il bisonte...so probably will get the tannergoods billfold, but the mitchell leather natural shell cordovan wallet looks nice too :)

Don't you find it annoying to change things between the two (I imagine you must have a lot of stuff if you are carrying such a large one around)? I know I would, and be very pissed when something I needed wasn't in my wallet.

I do but I usually find I need more of my cards during the week. So I tend to change over for casual Friday and back for Monday. No biggie.

I use a separate coin pouch for my coins - I prefer to have them separated.

Coins are for pockets and then moved to a coin jar at the end of the day. The cash in the coin jar is then used for SF approved but non-wife approved purchases.

can anyone suggest a croc skin wallet without requiring me to get legal advice before robbing a bank?

However, I disagree with your statement that my argument is flawed, as there is nothing wrong with looking at the total price of a product.
After all, you pay for the cost of shipping, storage and so on every time you purchase something, whether it be at a local department store or from an overseas boutique. It's just that when you purchase from a local department store, the cost of shipping and storage is factored into the overall price that you pay (and is thus invisible), whereas when you purchase something from overseas, the cost of shipping is transparently clear.
Why not, therefore, compare apples with apples, and look at the total price of a particular product here -vs- the total price of a particular good from overseas?

I think by default you have to consider total cost as suppliers like to screw around with their shipping cost to appeal to our value perceptions, so we've never even really got an idea of the actual split between item price and shipping cost.

In your case Unnamed player, $38 is clearly quite high for shipping compared to normal shipping cost from the $US, so chances are the supplier has just shifted some product cost to delivery cost.

Coins? I just throw mine at the plebs.
