"Skydiving" Wallet

[likvidskaj 0]

Well folks,
I've been wearing my (French made) cordura 3-fold wallet for 23 years now and it's still functional but really worn-out (no wonder, huh!)
It seems that nobody produces those "skydiving" cordura or parapack wallets these days or maybe I just can't find such a store.
I'd be very thankful if someone knows about such a manufacturer or a store (dealer) who make/sell that kind of wallets.
Thank you, blue skies!

Hi likvidskaj,

3-fold wallet

You hit on one of my pet peeves.

If it folds the money over it is a: Billfold

If the money lays flat it is a: Wallet

I make my own wallets but have never made a billfold.

Good luck,

And if it "corrects" your common "flaws" that nobody really cares about, it's pedantic.

Why dose it matter what you call it?
There usually never any money in them anyway.

There's bigger fish to fry than wallet v. billfold.

They're always complaining that there's bigger fish to fry than their own!

Do you have a local jumpsuit manufacturer or maybe a junior rigger who needs some sewing practice? Show them the wallet and see if they can make a new one for you. You could probly get custom colors too

I know what you mean!! I had one that I got at the Easter Boogie in Z-Hills back in the late 70's. It had a picture of a skydiver silk screaned on the cover. That thing lasted forever. My wife hated it. It just disapeared one day.....

look at the TWallet. Comes with a skydiving warning label sewn inside and everything. Has a "secret" compartment for jump tix, too.

You're not talking about those ones with velcro on them are you? I agree totally though that finding a wallet is the hardest thing there is. I only like tri-fold, not bi-fold. And I don't like those tri-folds where it folds downward on the one fold instead of out in one long piece. Getting 3 years out of one is a feat, even when you spend big bucks.

Anyone know of a really good wallet maker?

[BillyVance 34]

Question....

Why do they call those bi-folds if you only fold it once? And also, why are tri-folds so named if you only fold them twice?

Damn English nuances...

Ha ha, people

So it seems at first I have to apologize to those heavily offended by my late-nigh subtle playing with their mother's tongue, and yes, it could be a problem to actually wear a wallet without a hard-on and that would be extremely rude in public's eyes. One should carry a wallet around for sure. Preferably in a pocket, for one's own sake

And many thanks to those being helpful on this trivial question of mine. And yeah, a 3-fold folds only twice, that's true

DSE, I've seen that Twallet of LookMa but it's to fancy, thanks on the advice

The quoted word Skydiving (wallet) refers to specific fabrics only – Cordura or Parapack – and not to various prints, labels, embroideries or other jumping related graphics which I personaly don't like on such everyday used products anyways. That's not a fetish, just feels good to touch the same fabric rigs are made of during those days between weekends. And those materials are pretty sturdy, too.

At the end, for those who like to fry – I hope there's something to swallow in the above, again

Blue Skies to you all
