"Men usually don't buy wallets, they receive them as gifts", is it true in your experience? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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

Not for me.

I currently have three wallets, all made by Saddleback Leather^1^. They're expensive but the company's tagline is 'your kids will fight over it when you're dead'.

I have a standard bi-fold which I have actually semi-retired in this modern age of pinging payments with my phone, a classic tall, slim wallet for an inside suit jacket pocket, and my everyday carry card wallet which has three bank cards, my driving license, and £100 emergency 'shit they don't take phone pinging payment' situations.

Edit to add: I don’t anticipate ever needing to buy another wallet in my life. These are solid.

[1] Saddleback leather is owned and run by a guy called Dave Munson who is a self-described 'faith driven entrepreneur'. I don't care what the dude believes.

I use the business card holder as my wallet. I bought two at the same time, I’m still using the first one after 10 years or so, and I don’t know when I might ever have to replace it with the spare. And for anyone wondering, it stretches over time and I have about 10 credit/cards in it.
