Thanks! 120 euros for the simple leather... well, that's actually in the same price range than many of the other recommendations here.

OK. How about Visconti UK? They have a variety in the 15-25 pounds price range:

Ps. why the URL tag does not work here?

though I'm not yet sure which one is mine. (Slimmest, including the coin pouch.) Is there a better manufacturer in this or similar price range or in general it's just too cheap for you? Or it is simply impossible to get quality for this price. Thanks for your honest answers.

The URL tags work fine, it is just that the Visconti site puts square brackets in it's URIs, which confuses the forum software.

This is a clickable link to the same site.

For myself, I have not yet found a wallet I didn't dislike. For the past year or so I've gone with a credit card wallet to hold a single debit card, a single credit card, an oyster card and my driving license. Notes are held in the smallest money clip I could find and coins are kept in a pocket. Anything less than 50p tends to get deposited in the nearest charity box or beggar's hand.

The slimmest you could ever get is a money clip. It is so slim and weighs so little that you easily forget it inside your jacket´s pocket... Give it a try, maybe it is enough for you. If you carry just one credit card a time the clip would hold it perfectly along with the banknotes.

I stated more than once here that I actually carry COINS, thank you.

I would go with a Valextra extra slim wallet or one of the beautiful wallets made by Cedes Milano (the son of G.Lorenzi Milano): http://www.cedesmilano.com/

I checked the Valextra. The Cedes Milan is actually not an easy site to navigate. (How can I navigate there for the wallets?)

Anyways, here is what I have found: I need two wallets, but both ot them to be extra slim:

Wallet 1:
- Cards
- Bills
- Audiophile earphones

Wallet 2:
- Coins
- Keys

But is it overkill. I'm fine with living a coin society. Heck, even one of the most developed country, Japan is a cash society is well.

Option one: http://makr.com/zip-slim-wallet-walnut (inspired by http://www.webflakes.com/fashion/bonne- ... a-suitcase)

Option two: Do you think a wallet called the Tina (http://www.allycapellino.co.uk/shop/ss1 ... /tina.html) is acceptable for a man? ;) (inspired by this forum)

Yep, I opened it a long time ago but one of the best thing I learned with fashion or style(?) that don't buy immediately: when you want the same thing after some time elapsed it's time to buy (or similar item, not exactly the same; it doesn't matter).

There is absolutely no problem with Tina. It is exactly the same wallet made by Makr. Change the colour for brown and that´s it. Tough, in my opinion I would take Makr, since there is no logo shown on its external surface.

Anyway, for me (my tastes concerned) both are too rough and casual.

Best,

The Ally Capellino is only 1 cm thin (preferable) and the Mark one is 0.75", almost 2 cm thick. But I'm also open to a more elegant version of the same design. At least now I have found that for practical reasons this is the design that works for me.

internationalist: the cedes wallets are even thinner than those you asked for. To check them, I think you can click on the left column under "leather" and then at page 6, you can find different models of wallets for banknotes, otherway page 7 for coins. Hope this helps

Their page is down. I have to check that later.

The picture below shows a slim wallet with coin pocket with great style.
I have been using it for 10+ years; however, I could not find a new replacement anywhere. It is made by GoldPfeil.
If by chance some of you spotted a new one, please inform me. Thanks.

H&B London make a fabulous wallet--ready made or bespoke. The one I had made is from an amazingly rich-looking piece of flawless leather, and very, very thin.

Website: handblondon.com; email for bespoke: bespoke@handblondon.com. Ask for Stephen he's fabulous.
