It is obvious that leather is failing you. You should switch to kydex, preferably in digital camo.

I've seen aluminum wallets advertised but have never used one, don't know how practical they are or how bulky they'd be to carry. Just google "aluminum wallets" for a boat-load of links.

maxpedition makes some but i know nothing abut them ... good luck

I seen those, the TNT ones, eh, too rugged.. Nothing Camo, pref black or olive.

Tough, cheap, easy to repair, supplies emergency Duct Tape if SHTF.

You may want to take a look at the "Kastanza".

Lol. Classic.. Yes that's about where my wallet is now

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

I'm in the same boat. I want one like the maxpedition wallet, but the bifold lengthways style to hold a checkbook. Anyone know of one?

Not "tactical", but my Saddleback should last a few lifetimes.

I have found that it pays to buy quality. Pick up a COACH, HS TRASK, ORVIS or SADDLEBACK leather wallet. Expensive but tend to last me many years. The brands you can pick up at Kohls or Macy's or Target are all made in China/India/VietNam of cheap materials. A COACH (or similar) wallet will cost you a pretty penny, it will also outlast 3 or 4 of the department store wallets.

+1 I have a Gucci wallet that is about 5yrs old it spent 3yrs in Africa and still looks just like new. It was like $400 though...I couldn't find anything else to buy with a Saks giftcard I got. $400 is like what a T-shirt costs there.

It's not tacticool but I bought the bullet and purchased a coach leather wallet 9 years ago for about $300 and it still looks practically new.

+3 quality is where it's at I have a giorgio Armani wallet and it's lasted me 6 years so far of heavy use

The place to pickup a Coach wallet is at the outlet stores. It also seems to be a place to lose alot of money if the wife is along for the trip.



Oh... and what is a "tactical" wallet?!?!?

Who still uses a check book?

Yeah I buy the Kohls wallets for $20.00 and they last me 3-4 years and you all buy the $400.00 wallets and they last you 6-8? I see no economy of paying that kind of coin for something like that.

I agree. But you can get a Coach wallet for a hell of a lot less money. In fact you can easily get them for well under $100.

As for Kohls wallets, never had a cheap wallet last 2 years. But the good wallets easily last 6 to 8 and look better than a "Docker" or similar brand after 2.
