Apparently it’s a trend that most men just receive wallets rather than buying them
I never got one as a gift I really wanted to use. Care nothing for style, but look for practicality for me. After much trial and error have found a trifold made of sailcloth to be most lasting and useful for my sloppy wallet needs.
YOU CAN BUY YOURSELF ANYTHING YOU WANT ESPECIALLY A WALLET
srry this just reads as “duh my bros is it geyy to git yerself a wallet” NO JUST BUY ONE
I have bought most I think but I have received some as gifts too.
Yes, my family gifted me my first and second wallet.
When I was younger, yeah.
I think wallets are for people nobody knows what to buy for. Like getting them a tie. No hobbies, no interests, no personal declarations of what they might like. Or people just don’t know them well enough to get anything other than some generic gift like a wallet.
I bought mine
Works well as a lanyard too, ADHD would be having me leave it everywhere if it weren’t strapped to my noggin
I have only gotten one wallet as a gift ever, it was a family heirloom of sorts. All my other wallets I have used I have bought myself
I keep getting wallets as gifts even though everyone knows I don’t use a wallet, I have a collection of wallets that will never feel the back of my ass.
I’ve definitely gotten more as gifts than I have bought for myself (I’m a guy in his mid-40s).
I was taken to the store by my step father and he made me spend my money on a wallet that I no longer had money to put inside of. I have bought all of my wallets myself.
I’ve never bought a wallet for myself
I bought a Ridge over a decade ago before they went all crazy political, and beyond some wear around the edges it’s held up great. Which it should, it’s fucking aluminum and titanium. The elastic cash band got stretched out pretty bad over time but I contacted em for a replacement last year and they just sent me one for free.
I don’t think anyone’s ever bought me a wallet, which tracks with my wishes for everyday carry items honestly.
I tend to be particular about my everyday carry equipment and so I think I’ve killed that kind of gift out of my circle. My current wallet is entering its 12th year of service in surprisingly good condition. A Big Skinny L-shape. I’m not in the habit of carrying all my airman certificates around with me anymore so if I were to replace it I’d just go with their basic nylon bifold.
Seems to be a cool company; when I bought my wallet in early 2013 the price was $26, it’s now $30. I think that’s slower than inflation.
no. i have had the same wallet since 2006
