Record Wallet

2011-01-24T09:39:00.001-05:00

This wallet is made out of a record. Some people still listen to these things, and I don't know why. They sound like static.

$135. That's only about $130 more than I'd pay. It might be worth more if Paul wasn't dead. Are you cheap like me? Check out the cassette tape wallet or the 8-track wallet.

Black on black is pretty bad @$$ if you ask me. But I posted this for a another reason - so I could post another lightning wallet in the near future and make a lightning-strikes-twice joke. I'm hilarious, and you're welcome.

Hey, how cool is that? It's made of 100% cool cars with loud mufflers, and I want one. Not the wallet, I want a cool car with a loud muffler. The wallet is nice too, I guess.

"Man"stache Wallet

2010-07-13T12:15:00.000-04:00

For Halloween this year, I'm going to grow a mustache, get a high and tight, and wear street clothes. That's right - I'm an undercover cop, and it's going to be awesome.

But this is no ordinary mustache - it's a "Man"stache. Just like I'm not ordinary blogger - I'm a "Man"ogger. You're welcome.

Evergreen Wallet

Go green. Save a tree. Kill an animal. Make a wallet.

Wood grain might be considered a tree's fingerprint, with each species showing a distinctive pattern. Hlaska reproduced the grain from actual pieces of ebony, cedar and pine, embossing the three different grains on smooth, vegetable-dyed leather.

Loaded! Wallet

2009-03-03T09:45:00.002-05:00

The picture is either a girl or a very effeminate guy. Also, who keeps their wallet in their left pocket? I'll tell you who - a lefty, and lefties are NOT to be trusted. This gender-ambiguous lefty is carrying a fake wad of cash, demonstrating his/her deceptive nature. You have to be careful who's posterior you check out - that's all I'm saying.

myDuctbills Review

2009-02-28T10:00:00.005-05:00

OhGizmo has a very detailed review of myDuctbills. So you can either (a) pay $20 for a kit or (b) pay $5 for a roll of duct tape and figure it out. Being a ~~cheapskate~~ tinkerer, I'm inclined to figure it out.

I’m actually quite surprised how much I enjoyed the myDuctbills kit. If you’re a fan of DIY projects or love seeing the ’some assembly required’ warning on boxes then I guarantee you’ll have a good time with this.

Shalgo Duct Tape Review

2009-02-26T13:16:00.005-05:00

The Shalgo Duct Tape Wallet is brilliant. Urban Outfitters carries them for $20 plus $6 shipping.

A card inside the wallet says it was made by "Dutch duct tape ninjas." The colors and layout are aesthetically pleasing. Every seam is covered to minimize tackiness. The design is very clever.

It's a little expensive, but that's offset by the quality of construction. The wallet could use a few more credit card pockets, but I'm just being nitpicky.

Thank you, Dutch duct tape ninjas.

jDUCT Atari Wallet

2009-02-25T09:45:00.002-05:00

We had a Intellivision. That's right, I grew up on Burgertime. Little known trivia - the word "assault" comes from the root word "salt" which refers to the peppering of enemies in Burgertime.

But nobody cares about my childhood. Everyone makes Atari stuff; nobody makes Intellivision stuff. Screw you, jDUCT.

Ducti Monster Review

2009-02-23T13:00:00.000-05:00

Welcome to Duct Tape Week. Today's wallet is the Ducti Monster Wallet from Ace Hardware for $8.

This wallet wins points for a great design. Behind the 3 credit card pockets is a nifty flap which provides easy access to your most commonly used cards. The important seams are carefully constructed to minimize stickiness. It's simple and practical.

But Ducti loses points for cheating. The inside of the billfold is vinyl, not duct tape. This is an abomination to the purist.

In summary, it's practical, and the price is right. I'm willing to overlook some cheating.

Cassette Tape Wallet

This funky, retro wallet cost $43. If you're under 20, this is a cassette. We used to put music on them when Michael Jackson was still black and MTV still played music videos.

Sesame Street Duct Tape Wallets

Nostalgia + Duct Tape = Awesome Wallet

These are some of my favorite creations. Each have a character on the front, with 6 slots for your cards (each can fit 2 or 3 cards) and a pocket for your money and reciepts.

At $13 each plus $3 for shipping, it's not a bad price. But where's the bird and the frog?
