Superb Quality Leather Wallets

Is it time to replace your old wallet? Take a look and see. Since men's wallets take a lot of abuse they can become old and worn looking without our realizing it. Since men often carry their wallets in the back pockets and tend to over stuff the wallet, it does not take long for the wear to begin to show. If you need to purchase a new wallet the following guide may be helpful.

There are many materials that can be used to make wallets. Search the internet and you will be able to find directions to make a wallet from duct tape or from an uncut sheet of dollar bills. The most popular materials for wallets are nylon and leather, but leather is the classic choice of wallets for men.

Wallets are available in many styles. There are checkbook styles, ID styles, bifold styles and try fold styles of wallets. You will want to choose the one that works best in your situation.

The most popular choices are the bifold and trifold style wallets. Bifold wallets are usually the thinnest wallets but may be wider than trifolds. Trifolds usually have more credit card slots so they work best for persons who must carry many credit cards.

The checkbook style wallet works well for persons that carry checks as well as cash and cards. This wallet is normally too tall for convenient use in a back pocket. It will stick out of the pocket and be an easy target for a pickpocket.

As noted above, where you carry the wallet can make a big difference in which wallet you choose. If you often wear a jacket and will carry the wallet in the jacket pocket, the checkbook wallet is a perfect choice. The bifold and trifold wallets are sometimes too thick for carrying in these pockets.

The kind of leather used to make the wallet will also determine the cost and quality of the wallet. The least expensive and lowest quality leather is the split leather wallet. When leather is processed, some leather is sliced to half the thickness. The lower portion of the hide is then is embossed to have the appearance of a leather grain. This leather is very thin, but not long lasting.

The remaining top layer of leather is called top grain leather. While it does contain a grain, this leather is also very thin and will not last as long as the third choice in leather.

Full grain leather is leather that has not been split. It has the natural grain pattern and is thicker than either split or top grain leather. Full grain leather holds it shape better and is much longer lasting than other leathers for making wallets.

To preserve your leather wallet, you should use a cleaner-conditioner every month. The all natural cleaner-conditioners work best. Be sure that you give the wallet plenty of drying time before you put it back in your pocket to avoid staining.

A quality mens leather wallet can be expected to last several years. In general, a flat wallet will be the first choice for many men, so if you are thinking of getting a wellet as a gift, it is a smart and safe choice.
