Cowhide, PU leather or coated synthetic: three materials, five wallets
The cowhide wallet is listed as top grain leather with a vintage finish: its edges burnish and its color deepens with use, and a nourishing cream once a year keeps it supple. The RFID model is listed as genuine leather on its product page. The crocodile-embossed wallet and the wristlet clutch are PU leather, a synthetic material that keeps its original look and wipes clean with a damp cloth. The zip-around multi-card wallet is coated synthetic material, cared for the same way.
Flat bills: what the long format changes
A banknote folded in half doubles the thickness of a short wallet, and a ticket folded in three gets damaged. The long format gives bills and documents their full length, which makes counting faster at the register. In return it needs an inside jacket pocket, a bag or a backpack: a long wallet sticks out of a back jeans pocket.
Which long wallet for which pocket
The most compact one, in cowhide, measures 17 x 8.5 cm and slips into a suit jacket without showing its outline. The 19 cm models call for a coat, a messenger bag or a backpack, and the wristlet clutch can also be carried by hand, with no bag. For contactless card protection, the RFID model is the only one in the selection to list a shield: see also the men's RFID wallet collection.
