Apparently it’s a trend that most men just receive wallets rather than buying them

    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.

    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 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 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.
