Where can I buy this wallet?

June 3, 2015 4:14 AM

My boyfriend wants a very specific wallet style for his birthday, and I haven't been able to find it. Where can I buy it? Briefly: bifold, clear ID holder, snap closure for change, long slot for bills, several credit card slots, approx 3" x 4".

This is basically the wallet he already has so it must exist somewhere... I would prefer to buy him leather, but he's okay with fabric. It can have more pockets, but they aren't necessary. ID can come out or not (I think attached is preferable). His current wallet has an attached ID slot that flips up to be seen, and is credit card slots on the other side. Bulk is not an issue.

Bonus if it's $35 or less and can ship to me for free by Friday (in the US).

Is this similar to what you're looking for?. I searched for bifold wallet change pocket and that's one of the results.

Best answer: As a dude who used to use pretty much this kind of wallet, I think it's the "change pocket" part that's probably giving you problems - they're not as common, and they're often not in stock in actual stores. (I eventually ditched the "change pocket" part myself because of bulk.)

So any searching should definitely include "coin pocket" as part of your search terms, then you can narrow it down by looking at zip vs. snap, clear ID holder, bifold, etc.

Here's the Amazon results for "Men's wallet with change pocket". Looks like Fossil has some wallets that fit the bill, although likely a bit over your price range.

I think you might be out of luck on the "Free shipping by Friday" thing, though.

I bought an Alicia Klein Taxi Wallet, and I love it. It's deep red leather, and the change pocket is on the outside. It snaps shut, and is a normal bifold inside. Try it!

If something made of nylon and velcro is ok then this wallet by Rainbow has everything you are looking for. It's $12 and they are made in the U.S., if you contact the company they can probably get it to you by Friday. They are well made, I had my first one for 15 years and only bought a new one because the velcro was losing its stick.
