What do men look for in a wallet?

[beaujolais]

What do men look for in buying a wallet? Bi-fold or tri-fold? What material? Any recommended or non-recommended brands? Color? (Yes, I know - everyone is different but tell me what you like or don't anyway, if you would.)

Thanks so much.

My dh doesn't like to keep money in his wallet. He keeps it as thin as possible. He uses a Tumi bifold leather wallet. It really wears well and looks as good now as it did when he got it over a year ago.

DH loves fine leather tri-fold wallets especially in black His current wallet is a TMI - fine soft leather. As one might expect, great leather shoes and a Rolex Cellini watch have his eye as well.

The husband goes for as thin as he can. He often complains that sitting on his wallet is incomfortable, and after a full day of sitting on it, lopsided, it bothers him. I pick them up for him when I notice it starts to look a little ragged. He prefers a bi-fold, and doesn't really care about color (though I typically buy black).

Thanks so much, all. I really appreciate it. I have to get someone one as a gift. I thought a tri-fold might not get as out of alignment / maintain it's shape better over time but it seems some prefer bi-folds as they are thinner.

Are you familiar with eel skin? I'm looking at those. What a cool material ! Interesting, interesting feel & look.

My husband likes to use a tri-fold black leather wallet.

I have a few eel skin bags, to be honest they don't wear that well. I'd stick to a fine soft leather for a wallet, it'll mould well to the, er, bottom.

I'd probably agree (but have no eel skin myself). It seems like it would be fairly delicate and well, errr, men's wallet's do take a pounding, um, sitting....

Thin, minimum compartments since the separators add thickness.
Leather.
Cheap.

Thanks again, all.

I expected at least one joke, so thanks, DF - "$$$... "
