And to the dude who suggested money clips instead of a wallet; get a clue. Who carries cash anymore? Plastic looks stupid in a money clip, and you run the risk of damaging the strip. You're far better off getting a slim wallet and carrying the very little you need in it, if you're worried about your bulging ass. Money clips are typically for pompus asses who feel a need to show off how much money they have. There are much subtler and slicker ways to show off your affluence than waving your cash around for everyone to see. Nice Mr. Show reference…

Its called an "All-Ett" and is billed as the worlds thinest wallet. I got the Junior model as it more closely matches the size of a regular wallet (length and width wise) and the Standard size is a lil ttle large from the looks of it. The sailcloth material is super strong and VERY lightweight. Give it a look. http://www.all-ett.com/index.html I stumbled onto this little wallet from another forum.

They're made of gaffer's tape of all things, so it's also a good gift for any vegan males you may know. www.dbclay.com They're pretty damn sturdy, but my only gripe is that they don't have a divider in the cash-zone. I prefer that there are two sections for bills, so I can keep smaller notes in one part and bigger denominations in the other (who am I kidding, all I have are ones).

I must have bought the cheap-ass leather version. BOO. It stil cost the same, and I feel a bit ripped off. THen again, I did buy a wallet that said "Bad ass Motherfucker" on it, so maybe that shows me. Correction - I just looked at the bad ass site, and it’s NOT that wallet.

First, I am somewhat particular about my wallets - I like the leather on the softer side, I like small wallets, bifolds, very thin - so they don't create a lumpy fat ass like Lil'T so ably pointed out. Anyway, this wallet is TERRIBLE in all regards. First, the art on the front - "BAD ASS..." - is printed, not sewed on like in the movie. Second, the wallet is made from no leather I've ever seen - it's more vinyl than leather - very hard, ages ungracefully, brown baby shit color. Third, the wallet is HUGE - it's def. bigger than most bifolds out there, and it's very hard as well, so putting it in your pocket isn't too fun. The inside of the wallet is low-class - like the money area and the CC area - they are all materially and don't really look like they'll last. Basically, don't buy it. I am now using a Guess Wallet - <a>something like this</a> - and I couldn't be more pleased. It's a small bifold, very nice soft leather, looks great, doesn't show too much when in the back or even front pocket. And it's pretty cheap too!

Not only did my black plastic come scratched up, but it was waaay bigger'n i thought. Alls I can say is, make sure you read the dimensions on the site. It's clunky. Never used it once. Ready to give the Koyono a try, but does anyone know of a cool men's change purse? Is that the oxymoronic phrase of the day? I like to carry around a fair bit of loose change, but I'm tired of wearing out front pant pocket. I was unpleasantly surprised when my jimi came in the mail.

It is the best example I have found yet of form and function. 1st because I have always had a thing for something designed for a specific purpose- this wallet has a pocket just for the parking ticket, and one next to it for the metro ticket. It is a trifold with space for the larger National ID and even larger Driving License. It had also been designed to allow space for your passport. And all this at a larger size to accomidate the larger Euro bills and a change pocket (with zipper). There are many windows built into it for any matter of Identification viewing pleasure. However, because it takes it's size horizontally, it is no thicker then an average "American" wallet. It fits in all my pants, and I have felt no unusual discomfort when sitting on it. I hope I have described it clearly, because it makes a very good wallet, and is deifferent from something you may see in the US. I am on my second version. The first was a cheap purchase at a weekly market and the second a quality leather store for a little more but on sale in July.

Clearly, you - even if you have a "pasty, white ass" - are qualified to own a BMF wallet. Especially if you can physically *make* your own wallet. You get a pass, dude. Regarding wallets in general, I found a great one at a Brookstone or one of those upscale, high-tech mall stores. What I really like is an outside pocket for my work ID that I can quickly whip out and replace as I pass through security doors. (Yes, I'm supposed to "keep it visible at all times", but f-that. I forgot the dang thing at home or in the care waaaay too many times. Dr. Marv: I think only “pasty, white ass” people are barred from the Bad Mother Fucker wallet.

Its such a nice wallet replacement expecially in these days where you dont carry much more than 20-40 bucks in hard cash. Take your ATM card, a credit card, club or gym card, insurance card, and license and your set. I own a leather, Jimi like wallet and wouldnt look back.

Here's why: Although having the model shown would be a little played out, back in 1994 when my parents asked what the adorable 19-year-old me wanted, I told them that all in this world I would want would be a wallet just like Jules Winnfield had in Pulp Fiction. Well, back in those days the malls weren't ridden with kiosks full of Bad MF wallets. So my father got an old school wallet kit and leather burning kit and made me a custom Bad Mother Fucker wallet. It is among my favorite things in this world. So much, I love this wallet, that for a Father's Day years later I made him a "Dad of Bad Mother Fucker" wallet in the same fashion. We both still use our handmade wallets. That's why, when someone tries to kill a party by whipping out one of the mass produced, un-lovingly stitched BMF wallets, I just smile knowingly. For when the shit comes down, be it known by my father's decree, that I am the true Bad Mother Fucker. I take exception to the dismissal out of hand of the Bad Mother Fucker wallet.
