Your Guide To
Buying A Money
Clip Wallet Every style
guru will insist that you carry only the bare essentials in your wallet
because every man''s wallet should be slim and sleek. Often, a money
clip is suggested as a stylish alternative. Many guys who took that
suggestion and ended up with a money clip found themselves fumbling
with stray credit cards and IDs.A popular
hybrid is available for those who are trying to strike that fine
balance between style and functionality. It''s a wallet with a money
clip, or in short, a money clip wallet.A
money clip wallet looks like a typical billfold wallet except that it''s
thinner. It''s thinner because it
doesn''t have any bill compartment and
it doesn''t have any side pocket. Other than the money clip that runs
through the center of the wallet, it
usually has credit card slots on
both sides of the wallet.There are three things you should look out for when you''re buying a money clip wallet.1. The Money ClipNot
all money clips are made the same. Fiddle around with the money clip.
Open and close the money clip a few times. It should snap open easily
and more importantly the grip should be tight when it snaps back into
position. It has a
lot to do with the spring mechanism.If
this sounds like rocket science to you, bring along 15 to 20
notes with
you when you''re making your purchase. Try out the money clip and make
sure it holds the notes in place. The notes should be secured tightly
if it''s a good money clip.Also check to
see if the money clip is fixed to the wallet or if it''s detachable.
Always go for one with a non-detachable money clip. It feels a lot more
secure.
2. The LeatherWith
a metal clip as the spine of the wallet, a money clip wallet is
understandably stiffer than a typical billfold wallet. That''s why it''s
a good idea to choose one made of leather that''s soft and supple.3. The SizeA
money clip wallet is meant to be slim and sleek so it''s usually smaller
than a regular wallet. Some are designed specially for U.S. dollars and
bills such as the euro may be too big for your wallet. So make sure you
get one that fits the currency you use.Remember,
you''ll only look stylish if you carry the right money clip wallet. You
wouldn''t want to be fumbling with your notes because of a lousy money
clip. You wouldn''t want your notes to be sticking out because your
money clip wallet is too small. So make your choice wisely.
