I go through more leather wallets than — using an old phrase my dad uses — “Carter has liver pills”. Does ex-President Carter even take these “liver pills” anymore? Did he take such an absurd amount of them that they can be used to describe a measurement of incredible amounts? Anyway, I dunno. Who knows.
Since I’m completely frustrated with leather wallets, I decided to give another material a try: duct tape. Yes, there are wallets you can actually buy that are made from duct tape. You’d think there would be all sorts of sticky edges around the wallet’s seams, but that’s not the case at all. These wallets by Ducti are made from a specially engineered “super duct tape” that prevents lifting or stickiness, which so far is holding true.
The best part about these wallets by far is the lifetime guarantee on them. If for any reason you don’t like how your wallet looks or feels, or it gets damaged in any way at all, Ducti will replace it for free forever (or at least as long as the company is in business). And you don’t need a reciept or other proof of purchase to get the replacement. So in essence, you never have to buy a new wallet again. Ever.
You can get the Ducti wallets through ThinkGeek
Horaayy..there are 3 comment(s) for me so far ;)
The Carter in question is the ex-President’s brother Billy. Remember Billy Beer? http://www.the-forum.com/advert/billy.htm
I actually got one of these for christmas, and, after having a couple leather wallets myself, and getting them all scratched up and ugly looking, this wallet is awesome.
If it looks rugged, that’s good, cuz its a friggin duct tape wallet!
Mine, however, is still in perfect shape, they really do use ’super duct tape’ , they even give you a little bit to patch the wallet up with!
Yeah – its the lifetime policy that makes these great. I have bought loads as gifts from http://www.kjbeckett.com. A cool gift that will always be new thanks to Ducti’s replacement warranty! Its great!
