Men: How do you keep your wallet

[shock8]

Hi guys. I just bought a slightly more expensive wallet and wanted to maintain it and take good care of it.

Was wondering which pocket do you guys keep your wallet to maintain its shape. I used to keep in my back right pocket and always damage it as i sat on it.

And which direction do you guys slot your wallet down?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_put_a_wallet_in_your_back_pocket_correctly_flat_side_up_or_the_side_that_opens

Managed to google this and not sure if its correct.

Thanks.

If I wanna keep my wallet in shape and maintain it well, then I will never put it in my back pocket.

I keep my in my front pockets. Some people put in their bags or hold in the hand, it works better in terms of the lifespan. But troublesome for me

Tip. Look for a wallet constructed out of shell cordovan. You'll never go back to normal leather again.

Ya I think if u wanna take care of your wallet, nvr put it in pockets, as some of my friends advised me. But occasionally when I lazy to hold on my hand, I will put in back pocket when WALKING but nvr ever sit down with it in back pocket. Even front pockets are no good I feel, as the size is usually insufficient
And beware not to put too much stuff in your wallet (e.g too many credit cards). Did that for my current wallet and I regretted it. The leather stretches and wld nvr go back to it's original tight shape

1. Never put more cards and cash than it can hold.
2. Clear your receipt and other trash from the wallet.
3. Never sit with wallet in your back pocket
4. Alternate use your wallet

Usually I put my wallet in bag when I go for work. For casual, i will hold the wallet in my hands. Sometimes I put it in my back pocket.

In actual fact, all my wallets are still very mint condition.

But front pocket is mostly too small and there will be an awkward shape bulging out hmm.. holding with hand not very convenient and easily misplaced? For bags. do you guys bring your bag out every time? which direction do you guys slot your wallet into your back pocket? the folding side or the flat side?

thanks

u asking very detail leh.
I have only 8 card slot max in my wallet and my wallet is always slim. So no issue in putting back pocket. I dont put in front pocket.

If you think taking care of it is a hassle, then just heck care la. Change every few years quite ok. Just go hoot one good wallet and use it to the max. U should be enjoying but you make it like agony to use the wallet

I always put in back left pocket, the middle "fold" of the wallet will be facing up, easier to take out + the edge won't catch onto the jeans/pants if tight.

Just take out before sitting down, and it will be fine. Sometimes I lazy I don't even take out. Wallet still can last (and maintain shape) for 7 years.

And I agree with above posters. Is you own the wallet, not the wallet own you. Like how some owners will let the dog pull them to wherever the dog wants to go. Is you walk the dog or the dog walk you???

i place it in moi front pocket for 2 main reason

- make it harder for pickpockets
- don't need take out wallet to seat if in back pocket(cards easily damaged , not really for fear of damage to wallet)

btw, moi using ketupat wallet

Just use it as you would and relax so you can enjoy it

Well, for me I put my wallet on my jean back pocket.

True to say that it's will be out of shape in time and torn on the edges but I don't really bother.

As I feel it's really worthwhile for me as I had been using it for more than 5 years as long as it's serve my need.
