Wallet for teenage boy, not leather

<p>I’m trying to find a nice wallet for S2, something simple but well-made, and not made of leather (he is an animal rights person). I haven’t been able to find anything online. Suggestions?</p>

<p>Check out victorinox microber/nylon wallets…a bit pricey but my sons like them , especially the one that has an inner zipper compartment for coins. look for best price, amazon was best a few months ago</p>

<p>Target has a nice selection of nylon wallets, my son likes the trifold style. Kohl’s also has online nylon wallets.</p>

<p>Search amazon for “nylon wallet mens” or “nylon trifold wallet mens”, or just google it, and you will get lots of choices.</p>

<p>I haven’t used a nylon wallet in years so I can’t recommend a particular one. But there are tons of them.</p>

<p>Personally, I like “surfer” nylon wallets and have been using one in my purse for many years. It is slim and fits well in my purse, with a zipper compartment for change. It COULD be folded and has a velcro closure (which I removed because I use it flat in my purse). It was from the Men’s department at Macy’s, but is widely available on-line as has been mentioned. If he has or may get something with a microchip, you might want to look at the RFID-blocking wallets; since I never carry any cards that have a microchip, I don’t bother with the additional expense of such blocking devices. It’s just one more thing you may wish to consider.</p>

<p>I needed to buy one last year. I think I googled “vegan wallet” and found a good one that way.</p>

<p>It might help if he had other preferences. For example, how important is capacity? Compact size?</p>

<p>Note that leather wallets tend to be relatively bulky for a given capacity, so someone who wants to maximize capacity for a given size would likely end up choosing a non-leather wallet anyway.</p>

<p>My daughter is into Tyvek wallets. They are flimsy, but indestructible and come in patterns including maps, photographs, etc.</p>

<p>My DS loves his Duct Tape Wallet. He purchased one, but there are instructions all over the internet as well.

<p>Is he a dinosauer rights person?</p>

<p>Nylon wallets are made from dinosauers, you know.</p>

<p>My Eagle Creek one seems indestructible.</p>

<p>Great suggestions! Thanks to all.</p>

<p>ucbalumnus, he doesn’t need to carry much - a few bills, some change, an ID, a library card. This is his first wallet.</p>

<p>Skate shops & skateboard supply websites have good selections of nylon wallets.</p>

<p>^^kelsmom is spot on with the skate shops…also surf shops…ski shops…here’s three search links to get you going. You could also try the outdoor stores, Rei, Campmor, and the big outdoor chains.</p>
