I wish Man Bags were more socially acceptable. I carried one around on our vacation in Greece a couple years ago, because on in four guys carried one. No big deal. Here in Midwestern flyover country? -- no way would I do it.

I got a 3 part partition wallet..this holiday season.its more for the place where you would sport a gun holster ,for your left chest..I believe that old wallets are inadequate for what we carry these days.?..the pit pocket is the place..I was reminded of the George Constanca fat ,obese wallet during those Seinfeld era of TV...probably got into the habit overseas....with passport check, pen check,portfolio check !. seems my butt exterior has never been abused by a obese wallet!

True dat!!! It's just a lot easier to flit around without that big wallet in your pants....

A few years back I quit the old wallet in favor of a small flip wallet that carries a credit card, cash card, medical card, driver's license and a bit of cash. I carry it in a front jeans pocket most of the time. The old wallet was a pain in the a**...literally.
