At work, I do not need terribly many cards, so I have a Jimi Wallet I use to carry what I do need around, and not destroy it in my pocket. The little thing is surprisingly durable, and carries just the basics. I managed to kill my last one by running into a metal corner, but it lasted almost two years before that happened. As for my "in general" wallet, I use a bifold with external ID window... It carries my currency, my credit card and deibt card, and all of my various membership cards (Costco, ranges, Blockbuster, banks, etc.), simply because I know I would forget one of them when I go out for errands, and would be kicking myself the entire way home. A Maxpedition courier bag has been tempting, but I just cannot quite bring myself to sport a purse, urban cammo or not... Depends if we are talking “at work” or “in general”.

A tommy Hilfiger loaded with crap, but I no longer carry it in my hip pocket. I discovered it kinks my back to sit with one butt cheek an inch higher than the other. Closer to the “George Costanza”.

But it seems like Texas is the "Fanny packs" last stand. Of course most them contain pistols. I kind of skipped the backpack, courier bag stage and went straight to a tool box mounted on the truck. Seems my version carrying around useless stuff, comes in the form of hauling around a million tools. There is also a impressive collection of empty cigarette packs in the van. But I'll be sure to keep an eye out for a urban camo hand bag, something small and sexy to go with my little black number..:) Not sure how a purse would go over down here.

I go big or go home, I tend to carry a bike-courier satchel. Waaaay bigger than a purse, but still cool. However it's so big it tends to get jammed full of useless extra crap and becomes super heavy.

I mean look how his children turned out. " Hey, wait a minute, that's not nice. Ted, I think your inner purse carrier maybe lashing out. I say let her free Ted, don't be ashamed to load up your "EuroBag" and skip through the mall looking for really great shoe sales. :) “Not surprised. I mean look how his children turned out. ”
