The Wallet/Bag Discussion

I’ve got the same Crazy Horse Craft wallet as this, but in brown. It’s great!

It’s basically a leather envelope.

For me, my day to day wallet is the Ryan London leather slim wallet. Honestly fantastic quality leather.
And my second favourite is the bellroy mini zip wallet. Which is ideal for cards, coins, and cash.

Which colour do you have?

Also, would it hold 4 cards?

I’d need credit, debit, licence and staff pass. The rest I could go without.

That Bellroy one is lovely.

Saddle Brown because it develops such a lovely leather patina. I have the same case for my phone.

Yes it easily holds 4 cards.

Nice, tempted :sweat_smile:

Without reading the whole thread - anyone have suggestions for a day pack? I want something between full on day hiking gear and a commuter pack without it really being either.

For day trips where activities can range from visiting a gallery/exhibition/museum and having a nice meal, to spending a few hours walking either city streets, parks, or something like the Capital Ring.

Carrying water/snacks, perhaps a sweatshirt or lightweight coat, essentials such as sunglasses, Yorkshire sunhat, battery pack, umbrella. Budget up to about £175, perhaps £200.

Might just have to visit a few shops on my next trip the the Smoke - not much choice in Nottingham - but wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

After spending ages looking for a backpack/daypack myself, I’ve just bought a Stubble & Co Everyday backpack and a North Face Base Camp Voyager daypack, simply because I couldn’t decide between the 2, so thought I’d order both and send one back….

Roll top 20L looks quite nice. Might have to order. Thanks, never heard of them but I like the look of their stuff.

Salkan Daypack - I use for days in the office or days out walking. It’s also big enough for one packing cube if you need it for a one night stay like I used it in Ambleside the other week.

Anyone have any recommendations for a gym duffel bag that was a dry / wet compartment?

I call this the commuter uniform bag, half of the people on my train into London every morning have this bag.

Afraid not. I know not of this “gym” of which you speak. Hope someone has some suggestions though.

This exact one, or one of the many other roll top bags which look very similar?

Either way they’re a bit of a rarity in Nottingham :joy:

Ended up buying this, had seen it, been looking for a roll top, and wanted something else then by Bellroy.

I know you’ve already ordered a bag but I’ve got this for the trips down to London.

When it’s just a day it’s great, doesn’t feel oversized and can carry a few things.

When it’s two or more days it’s a literal black hole, easily get a few days clothes in there plus work things and it never feels like it’s there.

I managed to find an end of line one for £50 and it’s bombproof

Found a new Carhartt Wallet which is highly marmite like. The flap on the front is designed to be a note clip which does work but feels and looks a bit silly.

Six cards but no where to put notes or receipts (apart from the notes clip). There are small card pockets on the front which I’ve found will take notes if rolled up.

Actually a surprisingly nice wallet all told. Compact enough to not feel bulky but large enough to hold the cards I have.
