If there is one thing you must keep a close eye on it is chain wallets
. They can make sure that you always know where your wallet is, as well as being a clear deterrent to any potential pickpockets who might be eyeing your valuables. Ironically, it is often around signs that tell you to watch your valuables.
When riding a motorbike, they are doubly important. If you do not have zips on your protective clothing then there is always the fear that your wallet may slip out. While it is possible to retrieve it if you lose it in the street, it is a lot harder to go back for it if you lose it in the middle of the road.
There are a variety of designs available online and it is well worth looking to see what kind of design appeals to you or goes with your clothing. Increasingly, they have been used as a fashion statement amongst the Goth and Emo subcultures. Some people prefer not to be clearly identified in this way, so you might want to look this up before choosing a design so you can assert your individual taste!
People tend to go for silver metal links but you can equally go with gold or blue if you prefer. Check online for the different materials available and make note of the length of the chains.
As well as part of a look, they are an excellent way of preventing thieves from getting at your wallet. If it is attached it will be harder for them to grab and run. Ideally you should have a long enough chain to help at the very least delay any theft and give you a chance to catch up with them!
If you want to wear it on your belt, insert a key ring on your belt loop. You can put it on your shoulder by punching a hole through your wallet and securing it with two key rings. For a better idea on length look at a shop with chain wallets to see the kind of lengths they are and what is best for you.
