I need a 'Tactical' Wallet

[cbseniour]

Never carry anything in your wallet except credit cards and id. keep it in a front pocket and it will last for a long time. Also a money clip is a real good idea.

I go through wallets about every 3 or 4 years, but the one I have now (Tommy Hilfiger) has lasted twice that long. I just got lucky I guess. I got it at the Light House Mall in Michigan City at the Tommy Hilfiger store.

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.

Never regretted buying anything from Orvis.

Who still uses a check book?

I don't like sitting on a brick. Fold all that junk up and you end up sitting lopsided and get hip displasia or some fecal matter like that.

There was a post on here about some super thin wallets. Now I wish I could find it, because I could really use one...

I use one of the aforementioned Maxpedition Wallets
CMC Wallet - MAXPEDITION HARD-USE GEAR Tactical Nylon Gear for Military, Law Enforcement, Tactical Concealed Carry; Tailored to Perform Tactical
(mine is an older version. none of this zipper bull****)
Plenty of space. Love mine. Very Durable.

However do note that tactical nylon will eventually take on some of the clothes dye. Mine is turning blue in a few places from blue jeans.

Not sure what all is tactical about them. They are pretty bombproof, also tactical nylon does a good job of protecting your stuff from water.
There are 3 retention slots on the wallet, what I used to carry there (until school started) : mini-bic, small pocket knife, flashdrive.

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?

Search results for: 'checkbook'

The also have Wallets
Tactical Wallets & Military Wallets | SPEC.-OPS Tactical Gear

I have never used their Checkbook. I have used their the Shoulder Pocket Wallet for a while now. Now issues with it pulling Color from other Materials and it is super durable.

I bought a leather chain wallet from Hot Topic around the year 2000.....it's now close to 12 years old and I could easily get another 5-10 years out of it. Paid less than $50 for it.

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

It's a wallet that displays a certain finese and subtlety in achieving a goal.

Great thread

Great post.......

problem with the MAX is no clear case for ID

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.

My last coach wallet ran me around $60.

My parameters for a new wallet were different than yours, but I got lots of good advice in this thread: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/accessories_and_gear/164409-looking_for_a_new_wallet.html

I ended up with a Jimi Wallet. While it fits my needs very well, I wouldn't recommend it if your priority is "ruggedness". The added INGO sticker, however, did add several "tactical points".

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

I am sorry but haven't had a wallet with velcro on it since I was 5 and don't plan on it now.

I am sorry but haven't had a wallet with velcro on it since I was 5 and don't plan on it now.

I got the Maxpedition with velcro on it for free, and have been using it for the last 3 years or so. However, I don't really care for the velcro and feel like a 5 year old every time I pull it out to pay for something.

Problem is, the wallet is so durable I haven't been able to wear it out to justify buying a new one.
