The BillyKirk No.155 Card Case w/ Flap



For the longest time i had a typical mens wallet, with the 10 card slots, 2 note compartments, and a coin department.  Quite literally 'a pain in my arse' it was extremely bulky and bothersome when it came to sitting down for any activity, driving, sitting at the bar etc.  It therefore became a mission of mine to find a very minimalistic wallet, also to shed of my current wallet that i did not need to carry around with me day to day, all you really need anywho is some form of I.D, plastic money (credit and debit cards), health card, and some paper money.  the rest as such as membership cards can stay in your gym bags, and coins that you accumulate from the day can be emptied into a jar at home at the end of your day (a good way to save).

So i went from a wallet as described above to a very simple bi-fold with only 1 note department, 8 card slots, and no coin departments.  This wallet was a physiological victory for me as i shed a lot of things that i did not need (the coins, and the excess of cards).  So right now i was sitting pretty i was now carrying only the bare essentials, and i kept this wallet for years.  I was still not satisfied, it was still a little to big for me, and i was certain there was something out there that i could down size too.  Recently i finally came across it, as shown above, i don't think a wallet can get more minimal than this another product from BILLYKIRK, The NO.155 Card Case.  No Buttons on Velcro, just leather and stitching to form, a very solid design that will definitely last for years and some.  

The 2nd picture is the backside of it where i use it for notes, i fold my notes in half and it snuggly slides in that slot there (you can only fit about 6 notes there before it gets too tight).  In the Next post i will display a solution if you wish to carry more notes with you.  The 3rd picture is where your cards slot into, i have 9 cards in mine, and you can probably fit about 12 max in there.  All in a very solid but simple design that will last.  This for me now is a complete victory, i have found the most minimalist wallet out there with great functionality, and is very comfortable in the back pocket.  This wallet is definitely 'no pain in the arse'.

Enjoy
