I am a front pocket wallet guy. All things considered, I only carry about 5-6 cards including a driver’s license and some cash. I do this for a couple reasons: first, I don’t like to carry that much. Travel light. Second, I don’t like sitting on a wallet. Remember the Costanza wallet?
I have used quite a few, but these are the options that have RCS approval:
1. Martin Dingman Jamison Credit Card Case: Simple and elegant design. Two card cases – one on each side – that holds about 3-4 cards each. Middle pocket that hold folded cash. Add in the matte alligator and you are ready to rock.
2. Col. Littleton Front Pocket Wallet: A good option for the heavier cash user. The Col. Littleton front pocket wallet has one pocket that will hold about six cards (more as time goes on and it stretches out), and has a really handy flap pocket for folded cash and receipts. Initials are encouraged.
3. Sid Mashburn Credit Card Holder: New to the game…Sid’s take on the front pocket wallet. I saw it yesterday, and am impressed. Two long slots on one side, and one long one on the other (for cash), with three slots for more cards. The leather is outstanding. Take this one seriously.
What did I miss? Do you use a front pocket wallet?
Happy you mentioned the one by Sid. Was thinking of pulling the trigger on it. The one I currently have from Il Bisonte (Stags in Austin) is showing some miles.

I would add that Bellroy makes great front-pocket wallets as well.
love the col. littleton wallet, best front pocked I have owned…easy to get cash in/out and the compartment for cards holds receipts nicely too.
Front pocket wallets are the way to go! I got mine from a guy in Southern California. Headlands Handmade. Super quality and a great price. You can also pick the color of your stitching, etc. He makes each one to order. Awesome!
