Like most men, I usually wear something out until it is practically falling apart.  My old wallet which was a simple, dependable, leather wallet from Wilson's.  It lasted me over ten year that I can remember.  I am 31 and I remember having it at the beginning of college.  I am currently overseas in the military and realized my old wallet has been many places with me.  From all over the states like OH, PA, AZ, GA, SC to name a few.  Also being in the Middle East and currently in Japan.  It's been one of those simple things that have been with me through my travels.  So when I had to swallow my pride and let go of my old wallet I had to get something that would take the place of my old wallet and then some.  Again like most men, I am all about the upgrade.  I love Amazon and went here first to search for a wallet because there selection of goods are second to none and being overseas I can get it relatively quick.

The Civilian Lab Kevlar wallet caught my from the the start.  I was looking for a wallet which was simple, practical and durable to my lifestlye.  I have been very impressed and satisfied with my purchase.  The size is perfect for a man's side pants pocket and it is made very well.  The tri-fold wallet is a great constuction for several reasons.  First, I was a little worried that it was going to be bigger than my old wallet which was a bi-fold wallet and that turned out not to be the case.  Actually it was a hair smaller.  Second, with my job in the military I have several ID cards to get into buildings and for travel.  I am currently in Japan and have an access cards for my building which I work in.  Also, in Japan you have to carry train cards for use of trains.  I usually have to swipe my wallet to access buildings and the trains.  The wallet works well in carrying my cards and swiping various doors and turnstyles.  Third, and one of the best,  if the wallet is made to accomadate for different currency.  For those who haven't travelled abroad, money in different countries have differnt shapes and sizes.  One of the downsides of my old wallet was when I had currency from another country,  I had to fold the money in a different way for the currency to fit.  My old wallet was good for holding US currency, but I noticed when I was overseas like the Middle East and Japan, I had to fold the money in order for it to fit.  This caused my old wallet to be a huge bulge which it made it harder to fold.  The Civilian Lab Kevlar  Wallet works like a charm and I am able to seemlessly put US AND Japanese Yen in my wallet without folding it extra times.  I know what your saying..."that isn't very important" or "I don't need a wallet that can hold additional currency."  But it is a simple advantage that's good to have instead of not having it at all.  Your wallet, as a man, is something which you use at all times and is almost a part of you.  Every advantage to you wallet helps.

The clip attached to the wallet is a nice addition.  Being in the military, I usually have to be in uniforms without pockets.  For most of the civilians out there the military have PT uniforms which is simply Physical Training uniforms.  You don't need you wallet when you are working out, but after when you doing something and you need your wallet on you it is good to have one where you can put it in you jacket/waistband without it falling off while your hands are free.  The belt clip is sturdy and isn't big where you are noticing it in your pocket when you are in work clothes.

In closing, a man's wallet is a important item because it holds most of the most valuable things in you everyday life. A man's various identification, currencies, credit cards, family pictures, you name it, is all in you wallet.  There has been several times when I am wearing pants the first thing I always check is where my wallet is.  I always feel almost naked or odd when I am in everyday clothes and not have my wallet on me outside of my room.  The Civilian Lab Kevlar wallet is a great wallet which will last me for years to come with peace of mind.  If anything, it is a great conversation piece where I can say that I have the only wallet in the room made of Kevlar..... which can stop a bullet!  (Not 100% sure the wallet can stop a bullet, but I always get a laugh!)
