The Wallet Thread

[hwaa]

cannot afford exotic skins...but even normal wallets, also hard to get. my friend trying to get bearn wallet for so long, always no stock. online occasionally popup but wrong colour.

but 2-3X is nothing in the grand scheme of things when the wallet can last a few years

hmms, but lasting a few yrs theory wise.. many brands can do it too. i think if one likes the brand then price wont be the deciding factor.

yah iv read whereby people pops in hermes local boutique but theres only just one men's wallet there.

is it this one?

too few cc slots, 8 i think is ok

yah not worth i think, 8cc shld be just nice. even the classic LV also very few cc slots actually, 3 on left and cross 2 cc on right side. sometimes got to squeeze the wallet with some other cards + receipts till abit thick..

thats why i think sometimes pple buy for the brand instead of practicality wise.

true, that's why must patiently wait for the 8 cc slot model above. i always try to clear my wallet of all the receipts and small notes so that it's less bulky.

I only keep the receipts for my monthly bills in my wallet, rest of my expenses, I will have an expenses app to keep track.

I used to keep everything in my wallet until it look like a junkyard....then I slowly change my habit...

since I dont have many cards: 2 debit cards, 1 CC, 1 ezlink n 1 driving licence. a 5cc to 8cc wallet is more than enough for me

 

[cybercom8]

wow, you are very disciplined to carry so few cards...i had no choice because usually shop and dine on the spur of the moment and sometimes had to use a specific card for the discounts/promo. in fact 8 slots is still not enough and i had to resort to keeping a lot of cards in the car

 

[hwaa]

i also changed abit habit, to housekeep more.. usually receipts on the spot tear and throw away, lesser cards and more cash.

used to carry a few credit cards around (Citi SMRT, SC Manhattan, UOB One) cuz different card got different perks and of cuz i thought I will be ABLE to utilize all of them... but then gradually over the years, I realized my spending are on a few areas, so cancel a few and keep only SC Manhattan
at least i am able to charge everything onto one card and gather all my reward pts in one card

for dining... i realized in recent 2 yrs, many popular restaurants no longer give cc discounts, instead they give free desserts etc, which I don't like.

shopping... yeah I know ^.^ my wife love to shop in Taka, so she is holding onto a DBS Taka card, so any shopping we will try to do in taka and charge to her card.

Natural Shell Cordovan Wallet or Horween shell cordovan wallets?

My 2nd uncle started using their Natural Shell Cordovan Wallet about 1 yr ago.
something like this....

The leather is very thick tbh and very sturdy as well... If you don't go for luxury branded wallet, this is a good buy=)

simple and nice I like the carbon fiber treatment... plus, it has alot of card slots. it seems like a good daily-beater wallet and its only $50 bucks why not?
hmmmm... might be a good xmas gift for my 12yo nephew

the only thing to take note is the ID card flap... That thin piece of leather will start to crack and tear very fast if you flip it very often. would advise frequently used card to be kept on the right... other things like NRIC/Driving Licenses, keep on the left

Depends on the coin pouch is inside the wallet or on the outside.
Just remember that if you stuff too much coins in the coin area, it will force your wallet to be out of shape and bloated.

This adds additional and unnecessary stress on your wallet's leather, lining and areas with bends and folds... soon it will split, tear and then its gone...
