This San Francisco-based company makes truly bespoke leathergoods. If I could have any wallet in the world, I’d likely have something made by April in Paris. Wallets often go on sale, and can easily be found in the vintage and second-hand market, but we’re focusing on new stuff at retail. I’ve tried to put together a little range of possibilities, and hopefully you’ll find yourself something you like. Wallets are available at a million price points, from Hermes to nylon-and-velcro.

It can easily fit into a front pants pocket if you’re not wearing a coat, and will not create any visible bump if worn in a coat pocket. Anything more than this (say a store credit card or a club store card), you can grab them on your way out the door. Perhaps a health insurance card for emergencies. Generally speaking, there’s no need to carry more than ID, a debit card and a credit card. I’m generally an advocate of the card case. What precipitated this trend I cannot say, but there can be only one appropriate response: a Great Wallet Roundup.įirst of all, let’s address what type of wallet you should carry. Lately the trickle of wallet inquiries we regularly receive has turned into a torrent.
