Wallet is not just a wallet for men
A man's wallet is an important accessory and a daily companion that carries important cards, cash and personal documents. With the help of this article, we will get to know the meaning of a wallet, its popular models, materials and how to choose just the right wallet for men.
A wallet is part of a man's personality
A man's wallet is not only a place to store money and cards; it is also part of his style and personality, even if a wallet is not that important to him. A wallet that has traveled a long way also tells a story with all its marks and highlights the personality of its carrier even more.
Minimalist wallet for men
A compact and slim wallet in man's pocket speaks of edginess. It says that a wallet is an important part of everyday life for a man and that this person has the skill to keep things in order. There are no forgotten receipts in there or a library card out of date in 1997 because this man wants to keep only the most important things in his pocket. In this man's home, things are found in the own places. This man uses cash only in case of emergency, because bills and coins would take up too much space in his pocket. The patina of time can be seen on the wallet and it only shows that he takes care of his wallet with the intention of using it as long as it stays together. A good wallet choice for this man is a thin card case with no room for anything extra.
A bigger wallet for men
If the seams of the wallet are torn, the cards are sticking out and the pockets are way too full, it is clear that the wallet does not mean as much to this man as one might expect. This person might also be the one who leaves socks on the living room floor and forgets to put the dishes in the dishwasher. The patina in this man's wallet might not be the most beautiful one either. A wallet is really not that important to this man but the solution would be a wallet as big and roomy as possible. An alternative choice is a small card case, which simply does not hold more than the required cards, but this experiment can end in hair-tearing.
A common wallet for men
The most common type is a regular bi-fold wallet that doesn't protrude beyond its edges, but where each pocket is filled with essential cards and bills. This man has a balance in everything and the wallet reflects that without going to any extremes. Sometimes receipts gather up to his wallet, but an inventory done regularly keeps the wallet clean. This person is neither a minimalist nor a hoarder so things at home will find their places - sooner or later. The patina on this man's wallet is also beautiful, and the purchase of a new wallet will be on the to-do list as soon as there is a real need for it. A basic bi-fold wallet for this man is a safe choice or a slightly more spacious card holder.
Types of wallets for men
There are many types of wallets for men to choose from. Here is three most common types and they have many design options for each individual user.
1. Bi-fold wallets
A traditional bi-fold wallet offers enough space to store cards and cash. A stylish alternative between a minimalist and a bulky wallet. Most bi-fold wallets have at least 4 card slots and a bill pocket, sometimes there is also a coin pocket inside. Bermuda Wallet is a proper option in this wallet category.
2. Minimalist card holders
A very light and minimalist option made for a few cards and folded bills. The coins go home at the bottom of the pocket and find their way into the piggy bank. These card holders often have just one pocket. For many men, this wallet is suitable as an alternative wallet for parties and vacations. Good option for this is Wallet Absolute.
3. Card holders
A slightly more versatile card holder that contains several pockets for cards and folded cash. A wrap wallets like Overfold Wallet is a common version in this category. It's made from a single piece of leather that is wrapped around itself to form several pockets. These take up just a bit more space but are still very compact wallets to carry in your front pocket.
A leather wallet for men is often the safest option, but there are other materials on the market. Over the decades, cork has raised its head even though there are different opinions about the durability of the material compared to leather. Metal wallets are also popular and modern options for those who like them. Metal wallets are durable, but due to their hardness, they are not suitable for all users. A leather wallet is the most common option due to its flexibility and durability. They are timeless and show the patina of time better, which for many men is an important part of the wallet. Paper wallets have also been seen, but their durability, despite their compact size, does not reach the level of metal, cork and leather wallets. Many wallets are also made from the fabric, which last well and are light to carry. They might be a bit too flimsy for some but they work really well nonetheless.
How to choose the right wallet for men?
When choosing a wallet for a man, it is important to consider the user's needs and style. Look at the wallet's size, material and practical features such as card pockets and cash pockets. The most important thing is to be able to fit everything you need in the wallet but there should not be too much space in order to prevent the wallet from bursting. Count the necessary cards and other contents and look for a wallet with just the right number of pockets for them. You should also choose the color carefully, because in leather wallets, for example, the color darkens over time, changing the appearance of the wallet significantly. For most men, this event called patina is an important part of using a wallet, which is why a man wants to use the wallet for a long time and take care of it.
