That looks massiveeee.
But I guess you put it in your blazer so that's fine.

Works good in the blazer it’s big but thin unlike the typical bi or tri fold
In the front pocket it breaks up the outline of what’s tucked behind it

I carry a similar style wallet - a Mitchell money clip wallet. I also agree that a slim profile looks better. Having a fat George Kostanza wallet in your back pocket just looks sloppy IMO. I also switched some time back to a wallet in my front pocket - in a back pocket it puts pressure on the fabric when you sit so you end up with a wallet imprint on the fabric over time - which really looks sloppy. With smartphones and electronic data/pictures there just isn't the need to carry all the extraneous stuff in a mans wallet anymore. My fully loaded wallet with id, cards and cash is about 5/8 inches thick.Here's my wallet... Made entirely of Italian Lambskin. I like the suppleness of lambskin. As you can see, it's very thin and has a money clip rather than a cash pocket. What do you think about the design?
Also, do you think it's important for a man to carry a nice, clean wallet? I don't mean that it has to be expensive. Just clean and of decent quality.

...when a parking meter accepts only coins. We blush when we tip using our credit cards.
In America, one shouldn't tip in coins; round up to the next dollar. In europe 2 euro coins are practical, so keep two in your trousers' watch pocket. Hardly any need at all for a wallet with a coin pouch.
My apologies for using this forum as a debating platform, especially on an issue that has nothing to do with the first post.
I hope your suggestion to round up to the next dollar was clumsily expressed, because if you seriously meant to round up the actual bill to the next dollar, such lack of generosity will certainly not be appreciated on the continent. It would explain, however, why so many of my German colleagues in America do exactly what you advocate.
With respect to Europe, the rules are different everywhere, and not all countries have adopted EUR.
So, to return to the wallet thing, I prefer one with a coin compartment.
I mentioned no such “no coins” rule, but apology accepted.
I meant one should round the tip up to the next dollar, not the bill as a whole. I do admit my original post didn’t express that clearly enough. Now it is my turn to apologize.
I’ve found that Europeans as a whole are lousy tippers when in America because they mistakenly assume the waiters are being paid a living wage. As a New Yorker with years of experience in the restaurant industry, I can testify it isn’t.
Whereabouts are you located now Jan?

Gawd, those are beautiful. How do you get the stitching so perfect? And what's the YouTube video? I'm sheltering at home and tired of eating cake and getting it all over myself. Maybe I should sew me up some leather stuff. You think?I see some excellent wallets here, gents.
As I was bored last winter, I took up leather crafting as a pastime. I learned 100% of everything I know from Youtube, for free. Thus, when I get bored with a wallet, I simply make a new one. I do not sell them, I just make them for myself and friends as a way to pass the time. I make fairly simple wallets, always long ones because I hate folding paper money and I like to be able to slip it into a coat pocket without too much bulge.
The red one below is my favorite. Inside is raw vegetable tanned leather. I pick up the leather from the local leather/shoe craft district where I reside. So far, I have only used a very specific type of Italian leather, the name of which escapes me but it has a distinct texture at first which kind of gets more glossy after long term use.
Anyway, if you are the type of person who likes to change wallets from time to time, and you want to be able to make matching accessories, like key holders, phone cases etc, I recommend taking up leather crafting as a hobby. I went from youtube video to making my first wallet in about 3 hours. Final product takes me around 2-3 hours, all hand stitched and cut by hand. I am still an amateur, but I am able to make things that satisfy me, and get compliments from people.
The khaki green one is my winter wallet, the interior is made of some mystery leather that I picked up in a scrap heap at a leather shop in Tokyo. Might be deer, might be lamb, not sure.
