Aleutian Wallet for carrying tackle.In Ancient GreeceThe classicist, A.Y. Campbell, set out to answer the question, "What, in ancient literature, are the uses of a wallet?" He deduced, as a Theocritean scholar, that "the wallet was the poor man's portable larder; or, poverty apart, it was a thing that you stocked with provisions."

I made a duct tape wallet when I was in college - I just made it up as I went - but I did a two folder, so what I did is not useful to you. The way I figured it out though is this: I had a wallet that I wanted to copy the make of and looked at that constantly, inside and out, as I made it.
