I’m a wallet guy. I know that some people just abhor them, but I’ve always been a wallet guy. People used to make fun of me that I carried “George Costanza’s wallet. You’ve seen it.

How do you carry your money and credit cards around? Are you a wallet person or a money clip person?

There really hasn’t been much innovation in the modern wallet / billfold since its invention in the 1950’s. While wallets similar to what we know today have been in existence since the 17th century, it wasn’t until 50 years or so ago, that wallets with card slots were invented to accommodate a new form of currency called the credit card. These days we tend to carry around too many of these plastic cards, which causes our wallets to become way too thick for comfort. The folks at ALL-ETT have redesigned the ordinary billfold to be super thin, but with the same capacity for credit cards as the bum denting version you have in your pocket right now.
