[RBW] Re: Wanted: Rivvish cloth wallet recommendation
Thanks. Looks pretty small, in fact I am not sure it would hold bigger Euro bills or other non-US currency. I assume that accommodating other currencies is part of the reason it's a bit bigger than a dollar note, but it still looks too small to me. Have you tried putting in anything other than greenbacks?

These are pretty sweet. If you don't see what you want, contact them and they can make to order. Both pack cloth and waterproof. No leather. Made in the U.S. by Laura and Joe.

Jandd has a nice Trifold one http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FTFW I was going to recommend Eagle Creek, but they've changed their wallets, no more Trifolds. Too bad, I've used the same one for about 15 years. Lifetime warranty too, I had them replace the velcro on it for no charge. The Cordura just doesn't wear out though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Have used a Kavu wallet in the past. http://tinyurl.com/33w6crz Personally went away from the cloth wallets as they wear out on my. Too much sweating. Especially if I carry it while riding. Everything just soaks through. End up just carrying my wallet in a bike bag instead. Also makes it impossible to carry a camera on my person while riding. (That might be a good thing, though.)

[RBW] Re: Wanted: Rivvish cloth wallet recommendation
Thanks everyone. Am particularly impressed by Soulrun's stuff. Have asked them if they would do a custom, and may get a matching tool roll, while I am at it. :) Also found another interesting etsy vendor making wallets out of sailcloth, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6885190section_id=6388280 At $45 they are a bit pricey, but some of them ARE made out of carbon fiber, and we all know how expensive that is... but maybe someone has finally found a good use for the stuff. Actually I may have to get one of those, so that my tagline can be: My wallet may be carbon fiber, but my bike is lugged steel. Or should that be: My bike may be lugged steel, but my wallet is carbon fiber.

Of course, you could always learn how to make a wallet out of duct tape... they last quite a while and tend to protect their contents from the perils of butt-sweat. And no mold.
