Spring’s Best Leather Accessories

The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

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.

BellroyBellroy Slim Sleeve Wallet
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

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
