Physher007 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've decided to purchase my friend a new wallet, just because his is falling apart. I would love to get a Bally from Bergie, but I am not planning on dropping $80 on the guy. Are there any decent wallets in the $30-40 range? Leather bifolds and I would prefer to not order something from outside the CONUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Bergie's LV wallet in Utah Leather has served me well for over two years now and is a beautiful piece. For 30 or 40 dollars are you even going to get an actual leather wallet or will it be plastic coated PU "leather" ... In this photo the wallet is already 6+ months old so it is a bit stretched from my cards, etc .. but you can see how nice it is. After 2 years, there is not 1 popped stitch.

VesperMatt Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am a fan of the Slimmy, its what I use. Doesn't open up like a normal wallet. Has three main section, I keep my Debit/Credit Cards & ID in one, cash in one, and rewards cards in the third. Keep it slim and slide in my front pocket. Seems like good enough quality leather to me. http://www.koyono.com/Slim-Front-Pocket-Wallets-s/3.htm There are several different versions (contrasting colors, some with clear ID slots) and they range from about $35 to $50. Mine has held up well for the year plus I've had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 As long as you are not after a brand name you can buy a leather wallet from most malls in the price range you state. I must admit I am still to lash out on one of my own wallets too, as I have used the same (generic) wallet for the past 5 years. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 My 10 year-old Bally finally gave up the ghost last month. I replaced it with a Coach wallet that I got for $70 at an outlet store in Calgary. I chose Coach because I'm a big fan of Craig T. Nelson.

I bought what appears to be this same wallet at LV in Paris a couple of years ago. It is one VERY nice wallet. I don't know who Bergies is -- how could I get one from him?

mastrmindalliance Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Swing by the local leather-maker or leather supplies shop and see if you can't pick up an original or one off. If he's a 30-40 friend then even better if it's got some hideously ornate pattern on it for a gag. I'll always take an Oroton thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you kinda wedge it into the corner. I've sometimes has trouble with it becoming a little loose if I stuff too many small bills into it, stretching it out, but it mostly tightens back up with a little time.

sishac Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 On Etsy I found a guy selling shell cordovan wallets for $95...gorgeous!! He also makes plain leather ones for $55. I think he goes by Jaw Leather. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.040992,-75.399486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Depends on how your friend uses his wallet i guess....does he have numerous cards? keeps change in wallet? those are important to know. I for example need to store 7-8 cc and bills only so I went for a credit card wallet. A little big but keeps the cards in their own sleeve and not doubled up. On that note, cc wallets are hard to find....that the only downside. Good luck with the seach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
