Default Custom wallet chain

I've always been paranoid about losing my wallet from my back-right pocket when riding, and thus ALWAYS wear a chain on y wallet when riding. Two problems with that: 1-Not a fan of the chain-wallet combos from most manufacturers as they don't have enough pockets (and I really liked the wallet i got right before my bike); 2-Most wallet chains are really poser-ish or very plain/overpriced. so i came up with some solutions. I engineered (read rigged) a quick release for the connection to my non-chain wallet so that i can remove it when i get to work. just not a lot of places to attach a chain to my scrubs. Secondly, I designed/built the chains you see below. After over a month of real world testing, they've stood up very well. Hope to make more, just not a big drinker, so they are slow going. Taking donations from others willing to donate. the two below are composed of 14 caps each. Criticisms/compliments/questions welcomed. On to the pics:

"Criticisms/compliments/questions welcomed." ?

Ok, I've never been a fan of the chain drive wallets, and that looks real over the top poser-ish. Your terminology, and you asked.

if you're a day older than 16 i gotta say it's stupid looking... +1 on creativity though.

i have a small wallet/money clip and in the front pocket it goes, voila no lost wallet, no chain. as an added bonus i don't have to move **** from wallet to wallet depending on if i'm riding my motorcycle or not. considering i ride to work 90% of the time this is a good thing.

Night Train - More or less poser-ish than say iron cross or skull chain? Thanks for the honesty.

Dragpipe - Actually a dogbox for the OL's chihuahua(s).

babalu - I'm 16 x2 plus a lil bit. I got a new wallet just after christmas last year and probably bought/returned 10 different ones before i found one that worked. W/ license, various nursing cards/credentials, credit/debit cards, Insurance cards, and cash, the money clip only thing was way too thick to go in the front pocket w/o being uncomfortable. I actually carry a bi-fold wallet w/ money clip on the outside that works great. Thanks for the idea and creativity props though.

Iam - What's NOT funny? I just don't follow, i guess...

I would be afraid that was long enough to get caught up in stuff. You look like a "real biker" though!

Sorry, wrong button. The pink litter box comment was funny. The chain is just not happening for me. Doesn't look biker, looks Jr.H.S. That's JMO.
