Modern technology rocks. I’ve got my entire music collection, and a few movies, in my left-back pocket. The phone numbers, email addresses, the telephone network, and the internet is in my left front pocket. In my back-right, is a couple bucks and some credit cards. Hardly anything at all compared to what’s in the other pockets. That’s why this picture is just so wrong:

Every year, our cellphones, music players get smaller and do more, but my wallet has done nothing but get bigger. Eventually I got tired of it, stashed my ID and credit card for easy access and threw the wallet in my computer bag. However, I decided that having those rather crucial pieces of plastic floating around probably wasn’t the best of ideas either.

So I Googled “world’s thinnest wallet” and found my solution. I ordered it, along with a card-holder for my wife, and four short days later, a thin, regular looking envelope arrived in the mail. Much better (there’s only three cards less in this shot):

This wallet probably isn’t for everyone. It’s made of the fabric they use on sails. It crinkles a little bit when you touch it and only holds 10 cards. It lacks the prestige of a fine-grained leather wallet. So if these are your criteria, you’ll hate it. However, if you want something that hold what you need, will fit in your pocket, and not mess with your spine alignment, ALL-ETT billfolds is the way to go.
