So I've made a minimalist wallet and I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep it closed. Magnets are one of my thoughts, but would be curious to hear other ideas.  See the wallet in the attachment. I want to be able to access the cards without having to move any kind of band or something. A button would be another option I suppose. Wallet Pics

I'm guessing the cash just lays between the two sides? If so I would use a Sam Brown stud, if you have enough length to still fit the bills in it.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

I used to carry a wallet not that different than that for years I found the best way to keep it closed was to keep it in my pocket.. Seriously I never had it open up in my pocket. dropping it on the floor that is a whole different story.

I reckon using thinner leather would help the wallet not springing open too much. you seem to have very thick leather in the picture on your wallet, this could be the reason it is wanting to open a lot. all the best, jimi.

Recommend you use thinner leather for starters.  For bill retention (assuming they are intended to go in the middle) you can use various types of clips.  Some have springs, some just upon up like a bobbi pin.  I will try to upload a pic later showing one option.

Those first pictures are kind of deceiving of how much it actually opens. I used thicker leather because I like slick down the rough side so it thins it out a bit. Here is a picture of it just laying down. I think there is enough clearance room at the top for a button? Wallet side pick https://imgur.com/a/IYU9f

if the posts are long enough, I'd say a glove snap would work but they usually work best on thinner leather. Sam Brown button stud could be uncomfortable on the leg. Maybe velcro?

Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Yeah I was thinking that or magnet maybe. Velcro would clash with the leather I think. I could maybe pull off the Sam brown button to the side of where the cards go and above the cash.

"What is your suggestion ?"
That you upload your images here and not to 3rd party sites such as imgur ( who are, as I have posted a few days ago, in the red and who will ether go under or have to charge, like all the other image hosters have..when they are not paid, the images disappear, and anyone reading this thread will not see them , because there will be nothing at the end of your links.Loads of threads ( and "sigs" ) and even some tutorials here have this problem already ..the "please upgrade your account" message in some sigs in an example.
