We don’t care how cool or tough or manly Indiana Jones was in every film save Kingdom of the Crystal Skull — we’re not into carrying a man purse. We’re sticking with a wallet. And, much like your watch, your wallet says something about you. You can go with a minimalist wallet option, or you can stash whatever you can in your wallet and go with a trifold — doesn’t matter so long as it suits your personality. That said, some guys prefer to put more of their personality on display. We found a handful of super-cool utility badass wallets that’ll do just that (yes, that includes a Pulp Fiction wallet). Some will not doubt make you cough up a bit more money, but others won’t, such as …

The ‘Bad Motherfucker’ Wallet ($200 and up)
“It’s the one that says ‘Bad Motherfucker’” – Jules Winnfield, Pulp Fiction
As soon as Samuel L. Jackson uttered those words in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, the audience went crazy. The wallet that says ‘Bad Motherfucker’ — aka the Bad Mother F wallet — is a piece of pop culture on its own – seriously almost as much as the damn movie itself. I simply couldn’t avoid this one.
