Wallets That Fit The Bill – But Won’t Break The Bank

By

A wise man once said “ I just purchased a wallet, and now I have nothing to put into it.” Okay, maybe that’s not a real quote, but as much as we admire and respect the handsome craftsmanship of a $1,300 Hermès wallet, there is absolutely nothing worse than buying something that holds your money- and having nothing left to put in it. Actually, there is something worse, having your wallet stolen, or losing a wallet that costs more than the items inside. That is why we are bringing you a neat selection of wallets at an affordable price. They’re basically a steal.

–Bison Made’s medium sized wallet is handmade in the USA with no glue, rubber, lining, no nonsense.  – $110

-Feeling a little green these days? We hope not. But this green leather wallet is perfect for fall. – $95

-Speaking of color…if you’re the kinda guy that needs a little extra security – and by security we mean a zipper so all that left over change doesn’t fall out, look no further than this Comme des Garçon wallet with a blue metal zipper. – $135

-J. Crew does a great job at sticking to the basics. This wallet is classic. Beautiful brown leather, eight card slots, cash sleeve, two receipt pouches – and for $45. Holy moly.

-We have to give some major props to Jack Spade. Remember those duct tape wallets you once tried to make? Well Spade is about to give you some major nostalgia. Fine grain calfskin + trompe l’oeil = 80 bucks. Check it out at Jack Spade online.

Man shaving with electric shaver

Update 10/11/24: With the end of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, we saw a lot of men's grooming deals disappear as well. There are still some that remain though, albeit mostly with less savings. That's still better than buying these items at their regular price, so hurry up with your purchases.

If you care about grooming and general maintenance of your appearances, you know that products that help you do so can get expensive. That's why you should have taken advantage of Amazon's Prime Day in October, which brings Prime Big Deal Days deals. The event has officially ended, but certain deals may last all month long, and we've got the best ones below. We also recommend that you look at the Prime Big Deal Days cologne deals and Prime Big Deal Days watch deals that are still available to complete your smell and look game.

Martine Rose, Clarks add volume to the classic loafer

Everyone knows the versatility and sophistication that a loafer has to offer. The loafer is a traditional dress shoe that has slowly become an everyday shoe rather than reserved for formal events only. Because this footwear has earned its way into everyday looks, the key is making it unique from your average formal shoe. Thanks to Martine Rose and Clarks, this is no longer a problem, as they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shoe that mixes street style with the timeless loafer. As part of their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, these two brands have decided to give the loafer a comfortable and cushioned upgrade, without disregarding style. 
‘Coming Up Roses’ footwear collection

Along with a remixed loafer, Martine Rose has updated Clarks’ Oxford, Torhill Hi, and Clog designs. Each was redesigned in bold hues and a unique extra padding on the outside, to provide more volume and design. The Torhill Hi designs are available in black, pink, orange, and brown crocodile leather. Torhill Hi’s easy-to-wear slip-on style makes for an ideal option for colder weather looks.  The Clog was also released in similar black, orange, and brown crocodile leather materials. Clarks’ Wearers can find Clarks’ mid-heel Oxford shoes in black, lilac, and orange hues. Each design comes with Martine Rose’s touch of extra padding, along with Clark’s typical support system for comfort. An easy way to upgrade your daily looks, these pastels and pops of color will add a unique flair to your looks. This footwear collection ranges from $180 to $290 and is available on Martine Rose and Clark's websites. Select retailers will also carry pieces.
