I love stuff. I enjoy things. I appreciate objects. We are living in a material world and I am a material girl. I follow EDC influencers. I have opinions about my favorite weight of Dyneema and which sort of surface finishes for Titanium are best. I have tried every heckin’ wallet out there. Every single one. You simply cannot point out a wallet I have not tried or considered.
And yet? The best wallet I’ve ever used is still just a couple of ranger bands and a maybe a money clip. Some sliced up pieces of bike inner tube and a folded piece of metal.
It's just: wrapping & folding any sort of fabric around cards is always going to be bulkier than… simply not doing that? All you need is for them to stay together? And still remove one at a time? It's not a difficult task, but every option is over-engineered. I want to optimize everything, but I also need to change things up from time to time, and nothing is more flexible than a rubber band. And my wallet fits in the watch pockets on my pants.
