Does anyone use a hip wallet for card to wallet, if so, which do you recommed. I would love to do a card to wallet, but at 17, wouldn't get around with a huge wallet you expect a rich, proffesional such as gary kurtz to use. he may be a bad example, but I love garys card to wallet effect! a hip wallet is more casual

The Real Man's wallet by Steve Draun is the best one out there.

You can achieve the same effect with a real wallet.

The same effect, maybe. But I doubt you could do it with the same conditions. I'd be interested to learn how you do it.

I have a hip wallet with a zip compartment and a snap button to keep it closed, but unfortunately I got it at a swap meet with no name and no instructions... (Note: the snap button is a fake as it is on the 'other' side, but no one ever notices you unsnap it and open it in one move anyway. Someone "thought" it was a KB hip wallet. I am not sure, as KB stands for Kaps/Balducci and is a bigger one...

I have to agree with Jim. For a CTW that looks like a real everyday wallet, the Real Man's Wallet is superb. I use it AS my everyday wallet so it looks exactly as it should. I love it.

Even though card to wallet is an impossible type of effect...when I was 17, I did not like to carry around a wallet since it bulked out my jeans too much.

Also, keeping a wallet in your rear pocket all the time is a target for pick pocketers (and is easily lost).

So, I used to do a card into card box. maybe not as effective as a zippered compartment in a wallet...but, easier to carry and more practicle for my working style at the time.

Peet -- That's a JB (as in Joke Box) wallet, from England's JB Magic. That's the one with the gaffed coin purse on the outside, yes?

On this topic, are there any comments on Doug Malloy´s "Hip Pocket Card to Wallet"? Would someone be willing to recommend it?

Thanks.

KB refers to the loading style, not the size of the wallet.

What are you putting in it? Smile

I've used my RMW as a wallet for over two years. It looks used but not worn out.

Nope, I don't think there's any coin purse on my wallet.
