The Classic Man knows that it can be difficult to find a well-made wallet.  He also has more sense than to spend $1500 on one in some boutique in Paris.  He is appalled by the thought of wrapping his hard earned money in vinyl, and appreciates well-made products with an artistic touch.

I used to buy a wallet every few years.  It looked fine at first, but soon time took its toll.  The stitching started to fail.  The nylon lining started to crack or fray.  What I thought was quality leather started to fall apart and soon the wallet looked worn out.  It was time to move on.

It can also be difficult to find the right style of wallet.  I have had wallets that were too simple and lacking enough room for the basics.  Others were too bulky and cumbersome to be useful – remember the George Costanza Wallet?

I wanted a wallet that did what I wanted it to do – so I designed my own … for the Classic, Refined Man.

Design

The Classic Man's Wallet is Functional - a special pouch fits your cigar cutter, extra business cards.

It fits just the right amount of cards, bills and receipts.  It has a small compartment that fits your cigar cutter, business cards or extra credit cards.  It compresses if empty.  You don't need anything else.

 
The Classic Man's Wallet is Handsome and Refined. 

It’s made it from luxurious pebble-grain calfskin.  Unique, masculin design.  Hand-stitched accents.  Available in three colors - Honey, Maduro Brown, and Oscuro Black.  It will look better the more you use it – like an old saddle.

 
The Classic Man's Wallet is Tough. 

Stitched with marine-grade thread.  It's pockets are lined with soft yet durable goatskin.  Aside from the stitching, it is completely made of leather.  No plastic windows or low-class fabric linings.  Quite possibly the last wallet you will ever choose to own.

 
The Classic Man's Wallet is Intelligently Designed. 

Some simple things were done to extend the durability.  Most wallets have painted edges that chip and crack over time.  Instead, we wrapped the leather over the edges, then stitched it tight – a finishing touch that will pay off over time.  Your cards fit vertically into the sleeves.  This allows for a more compact, intelligent design.

 
The Classic Man's Wallet Smells Great. 

It smells like you’ve walked into a leathersmith's shop.  It will transport your mind to a different time.
