Try Launer - just put name in Google. An excellent range, personalisation (initials) possible (gold and 'blind') as well as standard lines in different colours if you ask.

Try WS Foster/henry Maxwell for a bespoke at very little over the cost of a ready-made thing. And what's all this about initials on wallets? Do you leave it lying around?! Bizarre.

Preference - there is absolutely no reason why not - oh and to answer your question, no.

    Gentlemen, quick question:

    Those of you who use coins, do you use a wallet with coin pocket or you just keep the bank notes in the wallet and the coins in your pocket?

    Whilst one might prefer not to use coins both one's means and the fact that change is normally provided in such form removes any choice!

    Coins in a pocket of your choice, there is something inherently wrong with a wallet that has a coin pocket and I do not have one.

    I've used a Dunhill wallet for a long time..it does not have a coin pocket and I hate coin purses for men. Use a pocket.

    Do you prefer the wallets with coin purses or separate coin purses (no) or the coins just hanging in your pockets? Don't you have too many coins?

    Hello internationalist,
    since you revived this thread after so many months, I seize the opportunity to say that for several years now I have decided to go strictly coinless and it has worked fantastically. I would advise this to everyone. It´s a small liberation.
    I simply do not carry them at the start of the day and I found that I don´t need them at all. And in the few occasions when I get some change (on average only two or three coins and maybe twice a week) I slide them flat in a credit card slot in my wallet (the same place I keep my wedding band while playing sports) until I unload them at home in the evening.
    Counting (at least) my iPhone, wallet, money clip, reading glasses, sun glasses, car, house and odd keys, and sometimes a pen, tissues, and pills, I´m already putting too much stress on my tailor´s skills. :)

    Leaving coins at their source alleviates the problem of having them.

    And overall saves some money. In the US, pennies and nickels cost more to produce than 1 or 5 cents respectively. :wink:
