Apparently it’s a trend that most men just receive wallets rather than buying them
I have bought most I think but I have received some as gifts too.
I always buy mine, and I would never ever tell anyone to buy me a wallet. I am pretty picky these days on what I want for a wallet. My wife is the closest person that could go buy me wallet and generally get the right kind, even then she’ll run it by me before pulling the trigger on such a purchase, to make sure I would use it
I’ve received one. I’ve bought three, one of which was a custom made leather dealie. Ymmv
When I was younger, yeah.
I think wallets are for people nobody knows what to buy for. Like getting them a tie. No hobbies, no interests, no personal declarations of what they might like. Or people just don’t know them well enough to get anything other than some generic gift like a wallet.
Yes, my family gifted me my first and second wallet.
I bought mine
Works well as a lanyard too, ADHD would be having me leave it everywhere if it weren’t strapped to my noggin
I have only gotten one wallet as a gift ever, it was a family heirloom of sorts. All my other wallets I have used I have bought myself
I keep getting wallets as gifts even though everyone knows I don’t use a wallet, I have a collection of wallets that will never feel the back of my ass.
I’ve never bought a wallet for myself
I really should get a new one. I think I bought one when I was 16, and another at 20. 15 years later it is falling apart but still have the same one. I wonder if that means I haven’t had a good friend or family member to buy me a wallet for 15 years. Sobering thought haha
I’ve definitely gotten more as gifts than I have bought for myself (I’m a guy in his mid-40s).
I was taken to the store by my step father and he made me spend my money on a wallet that I no longer had money to put inside of. I have bought all of my wallets myself.
no. i have had the same wallet since 2006
I bought a Ridge over a decade ago before they went all crazy political, and beyond some wear around the edges it’s held up great. Which it should, it’s fucking aluminum and titanium. The elastic cash band got stretched out pretty bad over time but I contacted em for a replacement last year and they just sent me one for free.
I don’t think anyone’s ever bought me a wallet, which tracks with my wishes for everyday carry items honestly.
How did you know
If you want a good wallet you buy it
