If you are in need of a new wallet or a looking for a special gift for a male friend or family member this Christmas, you’ve definitely come to the right place. As designer leather specialists we stock a wide range of quality leather wallets for men in various styles, colours and finishes from top brands including Armani Jeans, Bugatti, Calvin Klein, Fossil, Guess, Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker and many many more. Faced with such a selection, choosing the right one for you can seem a daunting decision, so here is everything you need to know about choosing the perfect men's wallet.
Men’s wallets can be made from many different materials but leather is in many ways the best choice. Leather is not just a very attractive material, it is also very durable. If you look after your leather wallet well, it can last for years. What's more, with some vintage styles, the leather can look even better with age.
The particular type of leather you choose is usually determined by the kind of quality you are looking for. Full grain leather is the thickest and most hardwearing type of leather because it has been processed the least. Due to the relatively natural state of the leather, it may also vary slightly in colour and pattern. Split grain leather is not as high quality as full grain leather. The hide is split into layers. The top layer is known as top grain leather and the bottom layers are known as split leather. Like full grain leather, top grain leather has a natural grain pattern and may vary slightly in colour. However, as the leather is thinner it may not last as long. Split leather does not have a pattern of its own. This is usually embossed onto the leather. This kind of leather is the least durable.
As for the style, wallets are available in bifold, trifold, cardholder, jacket and zip-around styles. Bifold and trifold are the most popular. Bifold wallets are usually flatter than trifold wallets but are generally larger in size. Trifold wallets are smaller but have more credit card slots. Cardholder wallets are ideal for those who like to carry a lot of cards while slim jacket wallets are great for men who like to carry their wallet in a jacket or shirt pocket. When choosing your wallet you will need to have a good think about how you will use your wallet and how many storage options you will need.
Once you have chosen and purchased your wallet, you will need to make sure that you take good care of it. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and keep it away from water or anything else that could stain it. If your wallet does become damp simply wipe it gently with a cloth. If your wallet becomes stained you could try a leather cleaner and conditioner, available from department stores, supermarkets or your local shoe shop. If you maintain your leather wallet, it should last you for years.
Happy shopping!
