Unfolding the wonderful world of wallets

02.22.2013

Men’s wallets used to come in only two options: classic leather for dads, and Velcro for anyone under the age of 12. Now there’s one for every occasion — fashion meets function meets finances!

The zip wallet has become somewhat of a standard. Like the Velcro wallet, it holds a lot and can be found in fun colours, but the harsh opening sound and juvenile aesthetic have been left behind. Passport holders and oversized wallets, aka “the man clutch,” are essential for the frequent flyer, when you need to carry more than you would in your own city. And the male equivalent of the “bar purse,” the card holder, is a popular choice for the gay on the go. Slide in your ID, debit/credit cards, fold up your cash — and it won’t leave an awkward bulge in your pocket. One awkward bulge is enough.

Normally, I’d feature a range of products, from designer to dollar store, but I firmly believe in investing more in your shoes, watch and wallet so that everything else that’s on you will look expensive. It’s also good karma to have a beautifully crafted home in which your money can live.

      I was just seeking this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this kind of informative sites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage. christian louboutin mens shoes http://clmen2013.tumblr.com/

      Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you're interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way! helpful resources http://www.maccosmeticwholesaler.com/
