TGIF Shopping: Distil Union

By Anthony DeWitt Published April 22, 2022

With the New Year upon us, we are plagued with empty promises to go to the gym and change our habits. But why not start small? For example lose that bulky wallet and simplify what’s in your pocket. Distil Union’s Wally line does just this by carrying all your cash in half the wallet. Wally is available as a super-slim wallet (Wally Bifold) or as a wallet compatible with an iPhone (Wally Case).

Founded in 2011 by Lindsay Windham and Nate Justiss, Distil Union has been creating solutions to everyday issues (Their Snooze iPhone dock is genius). One founder worked at Philips Electronics, the other at Digital Lifestyle Outfitters, and both have spent many hours fidgeting with products. Because of this their product line is a great mix of functionality and great materials, and each one has a story behind it.

Justiss said they weren’t completely happy with the solutions out there for minimalist wallets and set out to craft something that revisited the architecture of the wallet.

“We rethought that form by throwing out assumptions and came up a solution we love because these wallets are thinner and even more useful. By starting from scratch we were able to take away material and add functionality,” Justiss said. “We use Argentinian full-grain leather that is tanned to be especially strong and supple. This allows your wallet to conform easily to your particular card and bill assortment.”

As for the Wally:

Wally Case – For those of you looking to really simplify with an all-in-one approach, the Wally Case combines your iPhone with a minimal leather pocket. The case secures up to 4 cards and cash on the back of your iPhone. And the only downside to this is if you lose it you lose everything. But we’ll hope that doesn’t happen. These will run you about $50 in multiple case/leather color combinations for iPhone 5/5S and iPhone 6.

Wally Bifold – The Bifold cuts your carry size up to half and it fits about 12 cards and cash inside. Pull-tabs and slick pockets on each side give you access to your cards without opening to reveal any cheese. Inside the Bifold interior money clips holds your cash. They are available in black and brown for $59.99.

Distil Union also carries some other creative iPhone/wallet combos, so be sure to keep up with these designers. They are going places.

Now is the perfect time to layer with UNTUCKit spring pieces

The spring collection for UNTUCKit is stocked with seasonal pieces

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.

We're living in a world of ever-evolving technology. While we look at trends from the past and see that we're pulling from yesterday to curate a stylish aesthetic, there's no doubt that technology propels us forward. Now, we were promised flying cars by 2015 in the movie Back to the Future, and we fell short of that. However, artificial intelligence is still surging forward and changing the way nearly every industry does business. Hockerty took the path of utilizing AI models to showcase their new spring and summer collection with diverse LLM models from different ages and backgrounds, ensuring it works for everyone.

Huckberry sends people on the adventure of a lifetime with the Explorer’s Grant

Find your inner explorer with Huckberry's help

We were never meant to drive a desk. We were never designed to spend our days in a cubicle. We were designed to live under the sky with the sun and the stars able to stare down on us. We have long since forged a world of comfort, with customs of living indoors, safe from the dangerous sun and the deadly predators that roam at night. And ever since we forged that world, we've started to lose our connection to the great outdoors. That is why Huckberry is one of the most important brands for a man looking to reconnect with and recapture the spirit of our ancestors. But combining explorer's wear with fashion wasn't enough for Huckberry, they also want to send you on the adventure of a lifetime. They just wrapped up the fifth edition of the Huckberry Explorer's Grant, sending "John B. from North Carolina" on one of five life-changing adventures.
