I carry mine either in front trouser pocket, or front breast pocket. I use the lightest, thinnest, smallest wallet possible... just enough to carry a few cards and some folded cash. That's all I need 90% of the time. I have another wallet to carry everything else and just take that too when I need to.
I also have a couple MTM trousers with an extra hidden pocket that opens at the waistband. It's large enough to fit a small card-holder wallet. I really like this... I've been thinking about taking other trousers to tailor see if they can do those too.
I really hate carrying keys and cell phones. Nowhere to really carry those without causing odd bulging and pulling. That's why I often carry a jacket/coat with me even though I might not need one.

Hey guys, why do you think women don't carry their wallet in their back pocket??? Right...because it blocks the view! Too much discussion about putting something where it doesn't belong.
Just put it all in a Stretch and FAGETABOUTIT!

When walking around places like La Rambla or Bourbon Street at night, I put my wallet (and passport if applicable) in my front pants pocket. The pickpocket will have to violently tear the pocket out to get at the goods, and I will probably notice (unless it is very late indeed)...
Admittedly it is uncomfortable to carry stuff in your front pockets, but you are aware at all times that the stuff is still there..

Anyone have pictures of said "card holder" with cards & cash folded? I've always kept my wallet in the back pocket. Of course I am lacking in the funds department so pick pockets beware!!!!Originally Posted by Arman

And to my shame I admit I match the color to my briefcase/shoes.

Once, I was on vacation and because of all the horror stories I heard about pick pockets, I carried an old wallet with nothing but a card the read "Jesus Saves" in the ID window in my back pocket...it got lifted!!!!

That's fantastic!
I only carry a small Koyono slimmy with a couple of cards and a bit of cash. Always in the breast pocket of my jacket or the front pocket of my pants if I'm not wearing one.
