Gift Guide: How to Pick A Compact Wallet?

  We all know that most men do not carry a bag with them all the time. They put whatever they have in their pants pockets and move on with their lives. That’s why gifting them a slim and compact wallet is the best choice. Now let’s take a look at the world of compact wallets, as known as front pocket wallets.

  Cardholders are the first wallets to come to mind. They are also known as card cases. They are generally made of a rectangular rigid material that has card slots on one or two sides. They might also have a zippered compartment to put various stuff like cash, coins or receipts. They are generally very thin and can be carried in a front pocket very easily. They are suitable for the men who generally only use cards. But since they only have a small space in them, they won’t be suitable for the men who put so many things in their wallets. Leather is popularly used in cardholders. Especially calfskin is a very suitable material for cardholders due to their plainness and durability. There are also some brands which make cardholders in different shapes. For example the brand Rhude, makes cardholders in pentagonal shape, which gives them an interesting look. 

  There are also some bifold and trifold wallets that can be suitable for men who carry their wallets in pocket. If these wallets made from the right material, they can fit in a trouser pocket easily. Lambskin, which is a very soft kind of leather, can be used in bifold and trifold wallets to make them more compact and flexible so that the wallet won’t create discomfort for the user while sitting or walking. Tyvek is another thin material that can be used in front pocket wallets. Tyvek is a waterproof, lightweight and sustainable material that’s made of polyethylene. Tyvek has a sporty look to it, so it is manly used by the people who have an outdoorsy life.

  For the men who doesn’t like using animal products, picking a faux leather wallet can be a better idea. Faux leather is quite a tricky material though. So many cheap and big brands make their faux leather products from very unsustainable and unhealthy materials, which can be both harmful for the environment and the user. Instead of these brands, smaller or more expensive brands which use more environmentally friendly materials should be chosen. Some brands use various fruit peels and seeds for their faux leather materials which is one of the best ways to produce it. Tyvek and cotton materials are also suitable for the people who doesn’t like using animal products. Herschel produces nice quality cotton wallets. WWF market also has nice tyvek wallets which have cute animal prints on them.
