The article is about digital wallets, and it spends more than a little time explaining Stripe's product, Link. There's plenty to learn from this article about "electronic" wallets, and their place on your phone. But my eyes glazed over when Patrick kept circling back to Link. Of course, having just bought a lovely mid-sized leather wallet to replace a slightly finicky minimalist wallet (elastic is annoying), I was kind of hoping for some kind of dorky deep dive into physical wallets (which we used to just call "wallets.")

Well, if you circle back to minimalist wallets, https://www.hawbuck.camp/ https://www.hawbuck.camp/ makes a wonderful one.

  You got me curious so I ordered one. I have a minimal leather wallet but no cash pocket. I don’t really need to use cash but there are two classic old bars/tap houses in town that are still cash only, so carry some for that.

I've always gravitated towards minimalist wallets. For a time, I just used a rubber band. Although it was stupid looking to other people, the rubber friction did help it stay in my pocket. I've come to like tyvek wallets. Search "mighty wallet" or "tyvek wallet" on amazon. They are super thin, yet durable and functional. They also can look normal to people (unless you get the peanut butter and jelly sandwich one)

  Also big on minimal wallets. I rocked a ridge wallet for a while until the metal corners rubbed holes in my pants. Now I use a trove wallet and it's been perfect

  I know they get advertised heavily but my Ridge wallet has served me well for the better part of a decade now. They also sent me a new pack of screws for free after some of the originals fell out, several years after purchase which was cool with how rare good long-term customer support is these days.

Now that I mostly use a phone to pay for (almost) everything, I've resorted to carrying every card I need in a small phone pocket. It is actually refreshing not to have a wallet.
