2000Z-71Suggestions for minimalist wallet
Looking for suggestions for a minimalist wallet. Will be on a cruise in the eastern Mediterranean next month and thinking a low profile, minimalist wallet might be the thing for slipping into a front pocket. I've looked at the Trayvax and wondering if there are other ones out there. So why not ask the all knowing oracle of knowledge that is SigForum.

BamaJeepsterI switched from a Saddleback to a Flowfold for every day carry several years ago and never looked back. I absolutely love it and won't be switching back to bulky/heavy leather ever again.

ArtieSSureshot45 right here on the forum. Here is one he made for me for business cards. It has a scalloped pouch on each side, and a storage section in the middle; effectively it is three pockets in a small package. It would make a fine minimalist wallet. He also has a folding design in his leatherwork thread.
Quality is excellent and pricing is attractive.

cyanide357Maybe the Magpul Daka wallets?
https://www.magpul.com/product...aka-essential-wallet Or maybe the LA or NY-LA Wallets at CountyComm:
https://countycomm.com/product...?variant=27429453126I believe Duluth Trading carries wallets as well.

Skull LeaderHere is the wallet I carry. It will hold up to 8 cards and then also has 3 slots for folded bills and other things.

There are Youtube reviews of it.

FlyingScotI just picked up this nice, inexpensive RFID blocking bifold wallet and like it a lot. Small, well built and the tab is a cool feature. The middle money clip works great - first wallet I've had like this and I'm impressed.

NavyGuyI've been carrying this for about 5 years. I doubt I'll ever go back to the back-pocket fold over style. Everything I need is in here. CC, Debit card, med insurance card, extra cc, drivers license, License to carry card and a bit of cash. If I need to carry anything else, it just goes in a pocket.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

WoodmanA 2-pocket bifold card case for me, every day for the last decade. When my Bosca came apart and was no longer available, I asked Sureshot to build me one. Plus a couple extra.

DMFBig Skinny New York ID Wallet:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...ilpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1$15, very slim, holds tons of stuff, and has one pocket with a "window" so you can show your DL without completely removing it from the wallet.
I do not push cash in it. I keep cash separate from my credit cards, ID, etc.
I've been using one for the last 3 years.

cmr076I absolutely HATE big folding wallets. I use this one from Herschel supply co. the money clip can hold 15+/- bills. there's slots in the front for three cards, and I keep my company card, ID. insurance card, and LTCF in the pocket in the center. It's the perfect wallet for me, and it fits comfortably in my front pocket.

vinnybassI use a Slim Clip instead of a wallet. It doesn't get any more minimalist than that, IMO.

+100 for the slimmy. I've had one for years now. Mine is the original. It's the best wallet I've ever had.
