Small talk and a strange question I know, so what's new? When I was a kid I lost my wallet while riding a tote goat checking traps. It fell out of my "back" pocket. From that point on I always have kept it in my front pocket, never ever lost it.

While standing in the shopping line I see some guys have a "thick" wallet in their back pocket, seems like it would be a pain when sitting. It also seems like an easy pick pocket for the bad guys.

There's this engr at work that never has kept his wallet in his pocket, ever. He packs it or puts in his coat pocket. He puts it on his desk at work and never forgets it. Seems odd but it works for him.

If I carried a fanny pack I'd keep it in there.

Left hind pocket. Always have, always will.
Usually have a j-frame in the right hind pocket.

Let me go get my pen and notebook.

I keep my wallet in my right back/hip pocket. It's not as full as it once was...a lot fewer credit cards, money, etc. The advantage of being "pleasingly plump" is that my pants pockets are so tight that I can't imagine anyone slipping my wallet out without me noticing. I almost have to unbutton my pants to get it out myself.

Darn cleaners keeps shrinking my jeans...

After a loooooong time, I just switched to a smaller wallet/money clip and it rides in my right front pocket.

I have no idea why.

Keeping it in the front pocket helps avoid pickpockets. When I'm in the saddle, it always goes in the left saddle bag.

After a failed pic pocket attempt for my wallet in my right rear pocket at a county fair in 1972 I put it in my left front pocket and its been there ever since.

Wallet is in the right rear pocket when on me. When not in my pocket it's either in the console of one of the trucks or vans, locked in the desk or locked in the ammo safe. My wallet contains $200 cash (Mad Money), DL, Handgun Permit, lunch discount cards, Kroger Card and a few business cards. Steal it, I don't care. $200 isn't going to make or break me.

Cash, one check, AMEX and MasterCard are carried in the left front pocket in my Grandfathers money clip. 36/37/442/642 or 60 in the right front pocket with a speed strip in the watch pocket. At times the revolver can be found in either a left side cross draw IWB, right side IWB over the kidney or in a *** holster.

When out hunting the wallet is in a zipped closed interior pocket of the bibs or cover-alls.

When I carry a wallet it's in my left rear pocket, I use a money clip which rides in the left front pocket.

Dude? Whatch ya doin checkin out a guys back side in the shopping line.

Mines in a hidden compartment in my backpack.....ALWAYS. Never in my back pocket. That is SO bad for your back while driving. So Im told.

Wallet in left rear pocket, change purse & keys in left front pocket, Chap stick, nail cutter & pocket knife in Right front & bandana in right rear. Been that way for more years than I can remember. Too set in my ways to change, J frame around there some where's.

Looks like am the odd-ball!!

I have used my shirt pocket for about 30 years. My wallet is a very thin leather device that has an outside pocket where I carry my drivers license and ccw. Inside are 3 slots for credit cards and one spot for retired ID card plus a couple of 20 dollar bills. The whole thing is about 3/8" and weights almost nothing.

No photos of the wife, kids, etc. Only what I absolutely have to have.

Same here... Italians don't cary money in their wallet...it just ain't cool opening your wallet for cash...gotta come out of a clip...also, if someone sticks you up, they want your cash...throw them the clip and you keep your wallet...my DL also doesn't have my adress on it if someone does get my wallet...

Because of back problems I have carried in the right front pocket. I have several Safari short sleeve shirts with a zippered front pocket on each side under a regular front pocket with a button. Wallets and phone are carried in these when worn. Years ago I figured out the wallet in my left rear pocket was causing problems and switched. Some time later I read an article about men carrying those thick wallets in rear pockets and the nerves they can press against. For once I was ahead of the curve.

Left front pocket. I lost too many of them when carrying in back pocket. Since I switched to front pocket I have not lost one. It is also much more secure against pick pockets and more comfortable when sitting down. Can’t believe it took me so long to make the change.

My ex wife had an uncle back in NJ that everyone called pope.He was maybe 5'2" and carried a roll of bills in his front pocket that was a good 2" thick.Very likable guy.I heard that he gambled a bit 😊

Wallet and change in left front pocket. Knife, keys and handkechief in right front pocket. They go into the right rear pocket when I'm carrying a 638 in the front pocket.

Left front pocket driving or seated for long time, back pocket walking shopping etc.

Hi:
My wallet is carried in my Wife's purse. Why ? She has all the money, so why not have the wallet too ?

Either my valet or gun bearer carries my wallet, depending.

I didn't think this thread would get legs but, I admit it's been fun and enlightening!

I've carried a wallet since I was an early teen so over 40 years. Always in my left, back pocket (I'm a lefty). I know when it's there and I know when it's not but it doesn't bother me. My jeans are worn "just right" when a wear mark of my wallet outline forms.

If it gets too fat, I just hoe it out. I'm always amazed by the massive amount of ancient, useless junk I pull out when I do. Makes me think I'm a hoarder!

My wallet goes in my right front pocket along with my keys, pocket knife and a small tape measure. My money clip and change go in the opposite pocket. At times my wallet and keys go into my left front pocket because there is a 642 in my right front pocket.

When I was dealing in cars I always carried $2000-2500 in cash and I moved the wallet to my RF pocket. It is easier to lose a wallet or have your pocket picked from the rear pockets. Also as many have said, sitting on it a long time can cause nerve/back issues. If I wear my bib overalls I carry the wallet in the bib pocket.

Clip knife clipped to the right front also, cell phone in the shirt pocket, keys in the left front, machete strapped to my back, axe and bayonet in my left and right boots, claymore in the fanny pack, 240 extra rounds taped to my waistline. Only problem is I can't stand up!

Right front pocket. For years, I carried it in my right rear pocket but after shoulder surgery in 2008, I couldn't reach my back pocket for over a year. By that time, right front was a habit and still carry it that way. Only thing wrong with that is it makes getting my rule 9 out a little more difficult.

I carry my wallet in my left rear pants pocket and it is usually too fat. I am always tapping my pocket in a crowd and cannot see how anyone could get away with taking it. Lots of keys in both ft pockets and pocketknife. Old habits die hard. The older I get the more I remove the wallet especially on road trips.

I rarely, if ever, carry a wallet. Wallet or not, the cash I have with me is always in a money clip in a front pants pocket. When I do have a wallet on me, its in my rear pocket with a chain connecting it to my belt. Besides, like Sip said, you can just toss the clip to a bad guy and when he / she reacts to catch it, it gives you an extra second or two to .......... !

I carry Dl, credit card, CWP and a few other "papers" in a plastic pouch, right front pocket. Money in left. Nothing in back pockets. Joe

I have a very compact wallet I carry in my left hand front pocket.

I carry my wallet in the from pocket of my olive drab green fanny pack. I tried for several years to carry it in my right side pants pocket but it was so hard to reach sitting in my wheelchair I decided to switch.

Wallet in the left rear and LCP in the right rear.

wallet in left rear pocket, knife and keys in right front, pen flashlight, spare change in left front. pistol on right hip.

Money clip, front pocket, haven't lost one since.

Carried it in my left rear pocket for years until my back said enough.Now,it ends up in all sorts of places.

It's been many years for me; other than that this is exactly my experience. My chiropractor, who has eliminated every back pain I've ever had, saw me take the wallet out of my back pocket one time and said, "That's a no-no." I never put it in my back pocket again.

Andy

front pocket is for wallet and other pocket often has a K-T p380 in a Holdster. its my walk-the-dog gun. besides no letting others pick it, i do not want to sit on it.

If you carry in the back pocket, try these guys. I have one and will never go back to traditional wallets.

My wallet is always in my right rear pocket. Have never lost or had one stolen. Also, I very rarely keep any cash on me and if I do it's less than $20 and it resides in my right front pocket.
If someone wants to steal it, they will get a DL, my debit card and some miscellaneous business cards, nothing of to much value.
