Wallets

[yler4cy]

I think someone once told me that it's easy to get your pocket picked if it's in the back. Not so much in front. Not that there's a big pocket-picking issue where I hang out But I don't like sitting on it anyway.

My wallet goes in the front as well if I don't have a coat/hoodie on that has pockets. I refuse to sit on my wallet as well. Once I get in my vehicle it goes into the counsel.

Also, mine goes in my back right pocket if I'm wearing pants. Shorts it goes in the side or front right pocket.

Okay, so tri-fold wallets are out, but cargo shorts are in?

Cargo shorts? And you're concerned about a trifold wallet being "juvenile"?

Board shorts. Sorry, that's a common wear around here. Most have side pockets, and the front pocket usually isn't very deep.

I've had my same tri-fold wallet since freshman year in HS. I won't get a new one until it falls apart.

I carry it in my back, right pocket.

Has anybody ever tried sitting down with their wallet in their opposite pocket? In my case, back left pocket. It feels like you're sitting on a brick.

Way slimmer than I used to be. New Samsung smarty phone is bigger than my wallet.

I use this Fossil 2 in 1 wallet: http://www.fossil.com/webapp/wcs/st...uctId=22449000&imagePath=ML3288001&Ntt=2 in 1

It works OK. I use it like a normal wallet most of the time. When I'm out on my road bike with very little room/pockets to carry anything I just use the insert part to carry my ID, insurance card, debit card, and some cash.

I carry the whole thing in my front pocket most of the time. If I am conceal-carrying I'll keep it in my back pocket (or cargo pocket, if applicable) and my gun in my front pocket or in a cargo pocket.

Once this one wears out I wouldn't mind getting a money clip wallet of some sort. I have a bad habit of collecting receipts when there's no point in doing so.

I'm glad I went though this exercise. Getting rid of 7 cards I don't use/expired. Surprisingly, my wallet never feels too big. Maybe my left butt cheek is larger than my right one and that is why I never notice?

Mine has a phone number for guitar lessons (first lesson free) and some hard candy.

-Insurance card
-Old game card from Perfect Games (has like 3 bucks on it, I think)

I used to carry it in my back right pocket, but I learned that sitting on it was hard on my debit and credit card (bending and cracking), so now I carry it in my front right pocket.

Front left pocket, minimal cards. Keep it about the thickness of my cell phone.

Once you try the front pocket carry, you'll never go back. LIFE CHANGING.

All you weirdos that keep your wallet in the front pockets: do you carry your wallet and your phone in the same pocket with a separate pocket for your keys, or do your keys share a pocket with your phone or wallet? Or, are you a hipster and/or janitor who keeps your keys on a ring attached to your belt loop?
