Picture this: you’re talking to a small group of people. Things are going great–in fact you feel this could really lead to something big. Then someone asks for your business card.
You reach into your pocket and pull out……a huge lump of nylon and duct tape with tattered receipts and dozens of dollar bills sticking out from the corners. Fumbling through the tightly wound ball of “important” items carried “just in case,” you finally manage to find a card after 5 minutes of searching. It’s marked up and bent, but hey–it’s a card, right?
Not a great impression, eh?

If you’ve had the same wallet since seventh grade, perhaps it is time to invest in something a little more mature and appropriate.
A gentleman’s wallet needs to be two things:
1) Functional
2) Presentable
Both of these have a lot to do with what you’re carrying, so get ready to clean house.
Functional: What Your Wallet Needs
If you’re guilty of carrying around a George Constanza wallet, one that’s stuffed to the brim, waiting to explode and blow all your “important” papers to the wind, then you really should consider going through your wallet and stripping it down to its bare essentials. Because not only does an overstuffed wallet look kind of silly when you pull it out in public, it also does a number on your clothing and appearance when it’s being carried around in your pocket. A giant wallet in the back pocket of your pants makes sitting down uncomfortable and your backside look like it’s growing an unsightly tumor. Carrying an overstuffed wallet in your coat pocket weighs you down on one side, making the jacket’s shoulders a little lopsided. And regardless of the pocket you put it in, a heavy wallet will create creases that shorten the lifespan of the garment.
So if you want to streamline your wallet, how do you figure out what should stay and what should go? Here are some suggested guidelines:
Items Every Gentleman’s Wallet Should Have
Cash – Although credit cards and other forms of electronic payment have become dominant in how we exchange money, cold hard cash is still widely accepted and in some instances preferred. It’s fast, convenient, and from a vendor’s perspective has no processing fee (which is why you see discounts occasionally). Cash is king when it comes to tips and paying for quick services where electronic payment forms require extra time and you would rather just pay and be on your way.
Identification – Stick to the bare minimum here. A driver’s license/state identification card should be your default. You may need a second ID for your job or school, but try to stop there. No need to carry your international driver’s licenses or passport unless you’re in a foreign country. And even then I prefer to keep a photocopy and leave my original in a hotel safe or other secure area.
Credit Cards - Carry 1-2 credit or debit cards. Here is where a lot of people go overboard–in fact the average American has 7 cards! You do not need to carry your Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and 3 fuels cards with you at all times. However, I do like to carry both a debit and credit card. Although my debit card can be used as a credit card, certain companies will not allow you to use it as a deposit card (car rental services when you are out of state–my experience). Also the better credit cards offer a wide variety of protections not offered to debit card purchases.
Business Cards - Have them with you at all times–even if you’re unemployed or at a social event. People want to connect, and no successful man is an island. If you don’t have a specific title or position, get a set of calling cards with your name, phone number, and e-mail. You don’t usually need more than a few in your wallet, as the ones here are for random opportune moments. If you expect to be handing out more than 3, carry a business card case. Carrying more than 5 cards in a wallet can build up bulk fast. Although there are apps out there making business cards obsolete, adoption of the technology is still in its infancy. Even at tech savvy events like SXSW in Austin I found less than 5% of people using the technology.
Photos of Loved Ones – A great personal motivator and reminder to carry close, the only warning is that anything you carry in your wallet should be a copy–never the original.
Items to Leave Out of Your Wallet
Discount, club membership, library, and medical cards should be left at home unless you’re making a specific trip and know you’ll need them. My wife and I actually have a system where we keep all these cards in our minivan (we have 2 vehicles–but I rarely use my truck). In the event we need them and forgot to bring them in, we simply walk back out to the vehicle and retrieve them.
Social Security Card – This isn’t just wasted space; it’s a bad idea. You don’t ever need this for I.D. purposes, except when you’re actually proving residency status for legal reasons. Keep it somewhere safe at home–not in your wallet.
Condoms – Keeping condoms for long periods in your wallet only damages them. If you need to have some on hand, store them in your vehicle.
Coins – Unless you’re in a country where coin usage is a larger part of society for transportation (I feel for you guys over in Europe)–leave the coins at home. An exception to this is if you’re headed out to a bar and may possibly run into another military man–then carry a military coin so you can brandish it and have the first round bought by your new (or old) friend.
Receipts – If you like to keep them for your records, transfer them immediately from your wallet to a folder as soon as you get home. Week to year old receipts don’t have any place in your pocket.
Technology Note
Just because I do not carry the above items does not mean I do not have access to the information. Using my smart phone, I keep scanned copies of important cards and files on a secure cloud-based service which I can access from anywhere. Just the other day I had a receptionist make a photocopy of my daughter’s medical insurance card that was displayed on my iPhone via Dropbox. There are many ways to do this–just remember to think through the security of the system you set up. A lapse of security here could easily lead to identity theft.
Presentability: What a Good Wallet Looks Like
The Right Wallet for the Right Job
Not all wallets are created equal. Your slim day-to-day billfold won’t hold larger papers and tickets when you travel. A polyester and velcro wallet with your alma mater’s football insignia is fine for shopping on a Saturday but won’t make the best impression at a business lunch.
A quick overview of wallet styles–and yes, a man can own various styles that suit his particular needs:
Billfolds – Your basic bi-fold or tri-fold wallet in plain black leather is a reliable workhorse. It’s perfectly acceptable in just about any social or business setting and holds the daily essentials year after year. Simple, elegant, timeless. Your go-to wallet.
Below is a neat one from an Esty craftsman who will customize the handmade wallet with a quotation of your choice:
Sport Wallets – Usually made from a synthetic weave, these wallets are made in brighter colors and with features for men who need to ensure the contents of the wallet stay put. They also can feature straps to secure them to the individual, can be water resistant, and utilize velcro and zippers. Reserve these wallets for times when their functionality is a requirement–not when wearing a dinner jacket.
Super Slim Wallets – Recently I’ve seen the rise of simple and slim wallets. Some are made from leather, but can only hold at most a few cards and bills. Others are made from paper-thin, ultra-strong materials and are almost an empty form given shape by the wallet contents. The goal is the same–make the wallet smaller and a man will by necessity carry less. A good philosophy, and one I recommend for those who can’t seem to keep their traditional billfolds slim.
Money Clip – Often underrated, metal clips are even slimmer than wallets and can be eye-catching if you find a good one. They also fit better in a jacket pocket than most billfolds. If you’re looking for one that’s truly unique, search Etsy.com for hundreds of interesting handmade options. There are even money clips out there like the one below that double as knives!
Creditor Carbon Fiber Money Clip Knife
Travel Wallets – These are usually built larger to accommodate tickets and international passports. They also come with an attached clip or neck thong to help prevent theft or misplacement. Travel wallets aren’t practical for daily use, but they’re invaluable when you travel, especially as a family man carrying paperwork and IDs for 5 people.
Wallet/Phone Case – You’ve got a handkerchief, pocket knife, wallet and goodness knows what else in your pockets (seriously, check out what AoMers carry in their pockets each day)…add in having to carry a phone as well, and things start to get pretty bulky. That’s why a wallet that doubles as a phone case can be a smart move.
Stylistically, each of these wallet types comes in an almost infinite range of builds and colors. Your tastes might run anywhere from alligator skin to recycled materials, but just remember the darker and simpler the wallet, the more formal it is.
I recommend at least a plain leather billfold; beyond that let your personal tastes be your guide. A little character never hurt a man’s wallet — as long as it’s kept functional and stylish.
Have Tony talk you through the post:

Actually I don’t carry much stuff in my wallet – it’s quite compact. Usually its contents are:
- my credit card,
- my debit card,
- my health insurance card,
- my driver’s license,
- my club membership card,
- my university ID and
- some money.
I’m a little bit ashamed to admit that my wallet tends to be packed with an assortment of dockets, cards, photos and 5 cent coins. I tend not to carry it on me unless I have to, but I have been thinking it’s time for a change..
-cash
-I.D
-Hunter ed cert.
-debit card(s)
Thats about it.
I typically carry my driver’s license, student ID, cash, debit card, Pilot coffee refill card, a couple of miscellaneous business cards, plus a periodic table and a paper icon card of the Resurrection of Christ. Upon reading this article, I got rid of a few unneeded business cards, an ATM card to an account with a few dollars in it, and a gift card with maybe $2 on it.
I recently made the switch from a bifold black leather wallet to a leather money clip with a few slots for cards. It helped slim down the unnecessary “Costanza” items and I can hardly tell its there.
I have debit, credit, ID, a few business cards, and generally some cash.
I am one of those whose wallet is much too big, but just can’t seem to keep it down. Usual contents:
-drivers license
-university id
-cash
-credit cards (2x)
-debit cards (2x)
-insurance cards (2x)
-costco card
-gift cards (varies)
-pictures (2x)
-receipts (usually not many)
My wallet is the mini wallet that is supposed to fit inside of a larger one. It is made from leather and clear plastic, has been stretched to hold 3-4 ID/credit cards on each side, and some change (coins/bills usually lower than $10). It has a large tear on one side and a smaller one on the other. I love it though. What can I say, you travel light when you don’t have much to carry =)
Not to much in my wallet. Debit and credit cards, airmiles card, drivers licence and my Journeyman Carpenter ticket.
I have a leather bifold wallet. In it I have a few pictures of my wife, occasionally some cash, a calling card, two credit cards, a debit card, two forms of ID, and a whole mess of membership / rewards cards.
Money, IDs, two credit cards and the insurance card are a requirement. I really like to keep my wallet thin but settled on carrying around a SwissArmy card. This way it’s always on me and its assortment of tools often comes in very handy.
I actually carry a money clip with my license, 2 debit cards, my student I.D. and cash. Everything else stays in the car so it’s nearby, but not weighing me down.
I like to keep my wallet contents to a minimum. This post made me look through it to make sure I wasn’t carrying any excess. I had my driver’s license, debit card, credit card, one cash bill and a fortune from Chinese food.
I keep it simple. I have a black leather bi-fold that only carries cash, a debit card, my driver’s license, and my health insurance card.
i keep all the basics
driver’s liscense
military id
money
a few credit cards
a phone card
a few reciepts from time to time
thats about it.
Driver’s license
Eagle Scout ID
Cash
Debit card
FSA card
Work credit cards
Health insurance card
Assorted membership cards that are used regularly
Receipts, emptied regularly
Especially after the holidays, I find myself stuck with a large number of gift cards. Any suggestions on where to convert these to cash or condense them in some other way?
Cash-when I have some
Amex card
Bank debit card
Stowaway spacepen
Student ID
Airport ID and crew card.

I’d love a slimmer wallet though.
credit
cash
photo
id
that’s it.
I carry cash, a few cards, my driver’s license and my concealed carry permit, despite the fact that I never actually carry a gun. (It’s nice to know I CAN, I just don’t ever find myself in a situation where I would want or need to)
I really like this article i own a small bi-fold the wife gave me as a gift…i let her get a LV bag and she got me a LV wallet….
Credit cards, ATM cards, ID, medical cards for myself & child, receipts from the last month or so, business cards from local businesses, and a few gift cards.
Of course, I didn’t have my OWN business card when I needed it, and I hardly have any cash on hand…
Classic Coach bi-fold.
1 credit card
1 debit card
License and a few business cards.
I regularly review what’s in my wallet: if I haven’t used it recently, I take it out and put it in my desk, keeping the information or photo on my phone. Current contents:
- personal debit card
- work credit card
- ID
- library card
- half a dozen business cards
- a couple receipts I haven’t filed yet
wallet has:
moneys
cards
id
connies
rantons
club cards
stobtoks
What a mess:
- (4) Insurance Cards
- Performance Bike membership card (can’t they look that up phone number?)
- NC Brewers Guild membership (expired)
- Voter Registration
- Business Cards (mine + other random folks)
- Receipts
- Blank check
- License
- (2) credit cards
- debit card
- $2 paper money
Entirely too much.
3 Debit Cards
ID
Couple of business cards
Costco Membership
Sam’s Club Membership.
Wal-Mart “Gift” Card (With Fuel being 3-10 cents cheaper…)
Cash on hand, incl. some emergency reserve money…
Auto Liability Ins. Card.
As a suggestion to all you gents that can’t seem to get their billfolds slimmed down: My Chiropractor showed me that my hips were out of alignment by the thickness of my then bulging wallet and suggested that I get a front-pocket wallet. Sound advice- as soon as I did that and winnowed out the CRAP I had been carrying, I had less back problems.
In truth, you don’t need anything remotely resembling what most people carry in their back pockets- and it’s better if you can manage to slim it down to all fit in one of the slim or super-slim wallets and carry it in your front pockets.
Not a whole lot
Spare key for the car
State ID
1 Debit Card
A great picture of the family
2 gift cards
health insurance card
My wallet needs to stop growing…!
Business Cards
Receipts
CC’s
Not much cash!
I’ve started wearing my wallet in my front pocket to combat the “butt bulge” in my back pocket!
This encouraged me to clean out my wallet but now the old leather that used to be bulging is all stretched out and loose so I could use the new one. Here’s what I’m down to now:
drivers license
debit card
cash
car insurance card
cincinnati reds pocket schedule
I like the idea of ditching insurance cards until you need them. Maybe I’ll switch them to my messenger bag somewhere. Also in there:
license
Half Acre growler stamp card
debit card
credit card
moosehead bottle opener (credit card shaped aluminum flat opener, my favorite thing in there)
voter registration
emergency cta card
starbucks gift card
Cash, visa, amex, drivers licence, health card, debit card, business cards
I carry…
money
driver’s license
debit card
Kroger card
Pictures of the wife
and some gift cards, you never know when you may randomly go to a restaurant. I love a free meal
-Two credit cards
-discount cards… need to rectify that apparently
-ID
and cash
Pretty simple and straight forward.
P.s. I love the site!
I only carry the amount of money I am willing to spend, especially on a night out.
I carry cash, my debit card, and my school ID. I keep it simple.
I actually keep a very limited amount of stuff in my wallet as I do not want a real George Costanza wallet. I have my:
-drivers license
-LDS temple recommend
-debit/credit cards for both accounts
-student ID
-cash
Everything else I may need stays in my car.
as you said/suggested I carry the 1 debit/1 credit card 3-4 business cards, drivers license, lifetime hunting/fishing license (gotta have that!!) – never know when you need to hunt or fish with your bare hands…right?! insurance card and that’s it. here’s tip though – between your debit and credit cards put a business card to keep the strips from wearing out. i have a money clip that has 3 pockets so you can only fit so much.
I carry the usual…:
-Cash
-Credit Cards
-Business Cards
-Pictures of Loved Ones
…and the unusual:
-motorcycle key
-plans drawn with my best friend on a note card in 7th grade(11 years ago) for a 24-hour donut shop
-Wendy’s free-frosty key chain card
I carry a traditional leather billfold. It’s thick, even when empty, but I don’t mind too much as I usually wear jeans as well. I carry about 30 bucks in smaller bills, my university ID, my driver’s license, one credit card, 1 debit card, and against advice, my library card. I often visit the library spontaneously, and it is quite thin and not much of a burden, so i must disagree with that bit a advice.
I carry a hole in my wallet where money falls out.
Well I personally have:
ID
Debit Card
Company Credit Card
Multiple Loyalty Cards
and occasionally cash
After reading this post i kinda feel like i need to cull the loyalty cards though
I carry cash, drivers license, debit card, business cards, and my college i.d.
My wallet holds a few important things, my driver’s license, debit card, cash and my motorcycle insurance card.
Debit Card
Credit Card
Auburn Student ID
Auburn Ignited Card
Health Insurance Card
Cash
Drivers License
Hunting License
Just recently purged my wallet when I received a money clip as a gift. I’ve since moved back to a bifold (metal damaged some work pants), but the contents are the same:
- Debit Card
- Credit Card
- ID
- Metro card
- Starbucks card
- a few receipts
- a gift card to a restaurant near work
I carry in my wallet:
- money
- credit card
- gym card
- I.d. & Driver’s license
- earplugs & one guitar pick (I’m a musician, it’s to go item)
- College Erasmus card (great for discounts at various places)
- My barber shop card ( yeah, it’s kind of useless)
Debit card
Credit card
ID
Bus pass
Gym pass
and my Homebrewers Association card.
That’s about it.
I carry: cash, student card, driver’s license, debit card, 2 credit cards, health card, and payphone card.
I’m glad this article was written. Just the other day I spoke with my team about the importance of keeping a streamelined wallet. We all emptied our wallets to clean them out, and this is what wa in mine.
Drivers license
Work ID
Credit card
Easy to use cash. $10, $5, and 5 $1′s
I use my wallet (bifold from Wilson’s) for spending cash, credit cards, Driver’s license, a few business cards. Trying to keep it thin!
I have been carrying slim wallets for a long time. We actually made some out of old playing cards and duct tape for backpacking trips to carry id, credit card, and $20 bill. Not pretty, but very thin and light weight!
Ive got a debit, atm, credit, and work travel card, work ID, student ID, drivers lisence, work drivers license, club card, insurance card, MSF card, beer club card, and a military coin…it gets pretty dang thick
I carry very little in my wallet actually…
Basic dark brown leather wallet that I’ve had for about 5 years
Drivers Liscense
Insurance card
About 3 pics of the wife and 5 kiddos
Debit card(don’t even have a credit card)
A couple business cards
And usually no more than $20 cash
not enough cash is what I have in my wallet
not enough cash is what I have in my wallet.
My wallet is a trifold that I keep in my front pocket, a little on the larger side for front pockets but…
I keep cash of course, driver’s license, debit card but not a credit card, and also a Spyderco Spydercard.
My student ID, drivers license, cash, debit card, credit card, a folding military-issue can opener, and my paramedic certification.
A small flashlight is indispensable in a man’s pocket!
I carry very little but I previously used a slim wallet that had a money clip but now embarrassingly it’s my bus pass holder. I just have my drivers liscense, debit card, & current bus pass. Cash is usually stashed away in the pocket of my moleskine which is kept in my jacket pocket
Well, I used to carry an absurd number of various cards, but thanks to the tips on this page I’ve now limited it to:
-cash (usually around $40-50)
-credit card
-debit card
-university id
-license
I try to keep it to the very minimal:
Debit Card
University ID
Driver’s License
Insurance Card (need this more times than I like to admit)
Cash
I had to go the super slim wallet path. My wallet collected too much crap. It was amazingly wonderful to be able to ditch most of the stuff I carried!
Only the bare essentials:
-Cash
-Debit Card
-Driver’s license
-Blood Donor card
-Subway Card (ESSENTIAL!)
I try to carry as little as possible, but I break it into two wallets:
Pass/ID case:
–Train Pass
–Phone Card
–Shopping Card with 500 yen.
Wallet:
–ID
–Two credit cards
–Debit Card
–Insurance Card
–ATM Card
–Point card for my favorite camera shop.
I keep my cash in my front pocket.
National Identification card
Debit cards x2
cash
Would be carrying less than the wallet’s worth–unless, of course, cost of education is included with the University ID card.
My wallet contains pretty standard items:
- cash
- drivers license
- credit card
- debit card
- family pics
The not-so-standard items:
- a band-aid (it’s amazing how often one is needed)
- frequent customer card (ice cream, wings, burritos, etc.)
- temple recommend (LDS)
My wallet typically is fatter than I would like. As I try to keep it down to bare essentials, some things really are required. As many of my errands are done on foot (groceries, library, etc.) as I live in a walking neighborhood in the city (which I LOVE), leaving things in the car is not a good option.
I have it pretty manageable though and have yet to embarrass myself a la George Costanza. :)
P.S. I have a Saddleback Leather bi-fold that’s fantastic. :)
I go for the bare minimum:
- ID
- Credit card
- Debit card
- The picture of my lovely fiance
Good tips about keeping cards in car.
I’ve gone minimalist in multiple ways and right now carry a plastic front pocket wallet (made in USA). However, I feel it’s more for a younger crowd and isn’t that presentable for me. I’ve had a hard time finding a nice looking, manly, leather front pocket wallet. I currently carry my debit card, drivers license, at least one Jackson, and my university ID card (working towards PhD).
I (to be honest) carry a little too much in my wallet: government ID, school ID, work ID, cash, transit cards, library card, credit cards, and a few frequent shopper cards. The space adds up surprisingly quickly — I think I’ll go drop some of the frequent shopper cards right now.
In my wallet I have
-debit cards
-DL
-Library card
-business cards that I don’t want to lose
-shopping cards
-receipts that I don’t want to lose
-One lucky 1886 silver dollar that was given to me by a very sweet lady
I don’t carry much more than is recommended in my wallet, but some items are still essential to have with me on a day-to-day basis:
Concealed Carry Permit(s)
Datacenter Access Card
Datacenter ID Card
Insurance Cards
It will be money
I keep as few items as possible.
- Drivers license
- Insurance card
- Debit card 2X
-Credit cards 3X
-Cash
A secretary for all additional cards, business cards, and receipts.
Best thing in my wallet is my Fisher Bullet space pen. I use a front pocket style wallet and keep the contents to a bare minimum.
Hate using OPP (other people’s pens).
I keep the following items in my wallet:
- Driver’s license
- Bus card (commuting)
- Bus card receipt (so I can see when I have to renew it)
- Debit card
- Key card for work
- Insurance card
- Coins (yup) and notes
- A credit card shaped multitool; it takes up one slot, but is the thickness of about 2 cards. It’s come in handy countless times – this is where I bought it from (hopefully this won’t be misconstrued as spam): http://dx.com/stainless-steel-11-in-1-multi-functional-tool-card-2-pack-12590
Nothing but, driver’s license, credit card, cash, & business cards.
I keep everything I am apparently not supposed to keep in my wallet. Not to mention it is covered in duct tape. I will be clearing it out today, and hoping that I can replace it with one of these wallets. Specifically the iPhone wallet, since I will be getting one of those soon.
I carry two debit cards, license, and an iain Sinclair credit card knife in a “slim clip”.
I carry two debit cards, license, and an iain Sinclair credit card knife in a slim clip
Debit Card
Credit Card
Two ID’s
10 man cards
JOS A Bank Corporate Card
Two Gents Place Member VIP Referral Cards.
I’m really hard on everything I wear or carry with me. So I’ve had to work hard to find a wallet that can survive me.
I’ve hit upon double-stitched leather with the inserts/hinges made of nylon.
The EDC in my wallet includes:
-Driver’s License
-CCW
-3 Credit Cards
-Bank Card
-Health Insurance Card
-3 Club Cards
-2 Member rewards cards (yes, I use them every day)
-Hunting Permit
-NFA Paperwork
-I try to keep at least $50 in cash, but sometimes things are a little more sparse
I’m trying to get rid of a couple of the credit cards, and one of the club cards … We’ll see how it goes.
I’ve been meaning to slim down my wallet and this was a great article. it would be even greater to win one of the wallets… i’ve been looking at Saddleback Leather to see if they have something I like, too. I have one of their satchels and I love it!! Always looking for a good leather company.
I am pleased with my new slim leather wallet, but it is not yet perfect, As a chiropractor, I preach about slimming your wallet to save your back. Two cards too thick and I will feel it in my back. Save your spine, slim-down your wallet.
2 id cards 3 credit cards and a couple bills
Excellent advice. I can’t believe I didn’t think to keep stuff like membership cards in the car. I don’t need them all the time! I just now realize this? So thank you. My wallet has just lost some considerable bulk.
This article also points out that I am in dire need of a more handsome wallet like that Kenton Sorenson being given away…
-2 credit cards
-cash
-ID
-2 business cards
ID, Carry permit, couple credit cards and that’s about it. I could probably slim down to the front pocket wallet or te iPhone wallet might be a good idea too.
Driver’s license, Pilot’s license, Costco card, and a little cash. Gets the job done.
I carry a tri fold wallet. I carry cash, my I.D., 1 debit card, 2 store reward cards, and a couple buisness cards. I HOPE I WIN THE WALLET!
I carry my ID and cash. I hope I WIN THE WALLET???
