Spring’s Best Leather Accessories

As spring approaches, we’re looking for ways to update our wardrobes without blowing an entire paycheck on new clothing and accessories. Buying into a trend can be expensive, especially if it’s obviously fleeting, so we always look for updated classics that will complement the wardrobe rather than oppose it. One of the easiest ways to refresh your look for a new season is to add fresh leather accessories to your closet. Not only will they last a long time, a great wallet or weekender never goes out of style. Check out some of our favorites below and update your look without breaking the bank.

This bi-fold wallet may seem like any other until you take a look inside. Two quick access card slots hold your most used plastic, and cash folds easily in the half fold. Use the leather pull tab on the opposite side to access even more cards if you roll like that. In fact, this vegetable tanned cow leather beauty can hold about 15 cards without creating any extra bulge. Your pants pockets will thank you. $79, Roztayger

Wheelman & CoWheelman & Co. Buffalo Hook Belt
All belts are not created equal, especially when you get used to something as beautifully crafted as this Wheelman & Co version. Ditching traditional fasteners for a true hoof hook originally used by equestrians, this buffalo leather belt only gets better with age, just like you, handsome. $94, Wheelman & Co.
