Choosing a Wallet

When it comes to men’s fashion a good wallet is up there with watches as one of the most important accessories  , and it can tell a lot about him and his style. Men’s wallets come in many designs and styles, and are made from a variety of materials. Unlike women who usually change their purses, wallets and bags to match their moods and outfits, men usually buy just one wallet and use it for a long duration of time. 

With that, a man’s wallet should be durable, low maintenance and versatile. This is why most of men prefer leather wallets over other materials. Aside from being durable and low maintenance the leather wallet is a classic and is sure to never go out of style.

Selecting a men’s wallet can be a hard choice for some people. They step into a local retailer and find a vast array of leather wallets ranging in styles and prices – and they simply have a hard time choosing. A good wallet choice is not necessarily just dictated by how cheap or how expensive the wallet is. Whether you want a standard wallet or a travel wallet there are several factors that must be taken into consideration when buying or choosing a leather wallet – and they all play a role in making that best choice.

Style

When buying a new wallet you need to think about how it will be used . Leather wallets come in a variety of styles, from checkbook wallets, bifold and trifold wallets. Bifold and trifold wallets are usually common choices for men. They can carry cash and credit cards. Trifold wallets are smaller, but have more slots for cards and identification cards. Men who carry checks with them are sure to find checkbook wallets useful. Checkbook wallets can carry standard sized checks. There are also small coin purses for men who want to carry loose change.

Bifold and trifold wallets are recommended for men who usually carry their wallets in their hip or back pockets. Checkbook wallets jut out from the hip or back pockets and are more prone to pickpockets. It is recommended that men carry leather checkbook wallets inside jacket pockets.

Material

The material of the wallet should also be considered. While leather might seem like a simple choice there are a variety of leathers available – there is normal leather and synthetic leather. Leather can come fro rawhide, alligator, ostrich or even lambskin. Usually, exotic leather is more expensive, because  the availability is basically limited.

The quality of the material is also determined by the part of the leather that is used. Cheaper leather wallets often use a grade of leather known as ‘split leather’ . When the hide is sliced, the bottom part of the hide is called the split leather. It is commonly used for wallets but it is very thin so has a limited lifespan . The remaining top leather , on the other hand is called the Top grain leather. Unlike the bottom part, the top part has a grain pattern to it, but still, it is also very thin and may not last a long time as well.

The best quality leather wallets are made from full grain leather . Full grain leather has not been split, and is thicker than the first two types. Full grain leather wallets last longest, and keep their form and shape up even after years of use.

Threading

Last but not least is to check out how the wallet is held together  . Look for factors such as thick threading, tough fibers and double threading – as it is the threading of the leather wallet that holds everything together . Aside from thickness, the threading should also be sturdy. Neatness of the threading is also a factor. A neat threading pattern spells better craftsmanship of the maker, which also equates to better quality in a leather wallet.

With these simple tips choosing a new wallet that performs well and looks great should be easy . What is essential is that one knows what he is looking for, and the choosing will come naturally.

Why to avoid cheap dress shirt tailors.

As with most things, quality follows the amount you pay for them this also applies to custom dress shirts. The following are real cases that have happened when going for the cheapest tailored dress shirt options.

1. Stripes are not aligned

It takes shirt makers more work to align the stripes of the dress shirts along the shoulders and by the cuff placket. Shirts often look better if they are made aligned. However, on any shirt stripes can not be perfectly aligned, but they can come close.

2. The classic – Shirt buttons falling off

It’s a pain when shirt buttons fall off and in this case 3 actually fell off.The most sturdy buttons are usually those that are sown on by hand, so keep an eye out for dress shirt makers that offer that service.

3. The Inside armpit area is done poorly

When the cut of the armpit hole is smoothly round and the thread color for that area doesn’t match the fabric itself, it is a true sign of being a poorly constructed and cheap dress shirt. It’s probably not a shirt that will live the season over.

4. Bubbles on the cuffs and collars after just a few washes

This happens when collars and cuffs are poorly fused and can not handle washing in hot water. It looks terrible and cheap, unfortunately in most cases it is not something you can spot when you pick them up.

5. Damaged Fabric

Here the fabric was worn down in one area so that there almost was a hole, but that’s what happens when you get the shirt made at a low cost Indian tailor. The shirt would’ve been great though if it weren’t for that.

If you are looking to buy a custom dress shirt or any shirts for men for that matter be sure to be careful of who you buy your shirts from. A simple google search on ‘custom dress shirts’ will give you a stream of options, online custom tailors are usually cheaper and at times even better than offline tailors.

No Faith In This Hill

April 26 – IMW-TV http://imeanwhat.com/?p=10194&preview=true#ixzz0mDUjml00 HelpI am drowning in a pool schmattas designed by celebrities. Someone throw me a lineand not a line designed by a celebrity. Unless you have been living under a rock, you would have noticed that a slew of celebrities have taken to multitasking, branding, adding layers to their illustrious careers by cultivating their secret childhood fantasies of becoming fashion designers. Literally every week I report on another astonishing member of this new clan of celebrities, who we can lovingly call brand whores. Every entertainment management firm is out there selling their talent to anyone that will pay anything, in an effort to brand them, which in theory, hopefully, helps their clients avoid the dreaded obscurity. Need a few examples? How about Madonna, The Olsen Twins, Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Moss, Nicole Richie? And lets not forget this lovely bunch:

Avril Lavigne, dont even start with me.
Cheryl Crow, seriously?
Nicki Hilton, is that still so?
Jessica Simpson, CFDA here we come.
Eve, no comment.
Gwen, luv hu, but prefer her music career.
Lauren Conrad, who will inspire the Real Housewives.
Mandy Moore, no comment.
Jennifer Lopez, is that still happening?
Whitney Port (every piece is a must-have)
Victoria Beckham, or is it Roland Mouret?

Next victim is Faith Hill, who just sat in as judge for the Project Runway finale last week. If an appearance on a reality show is enough to inspire you to say you have always wanted to be a designerwellsomebody help methrow me a lineand not one designed by Ms. Hill. If the right opportunity presents itself, I can guarantee you it would be my passion, and I would put my heart and soul into making it the best it could possibly be, Faith recently said to Associated Press. I would design for the women I know and their kids busy moms with great style. So heres what I am scratching my head aboutthe opportunity breeds the passion? I always thought it was the other way around. Ms. Hills philosophy is kind of like the chicken and the egg theory, just a little less clear. Every designer I know has it in their bloodit is their lifes worktheir mission. It makes me wonder if Faith Hills music career happened the same way. So, she never sang a song, but the Grand Ole Opry banged on her door one night and said, Faith Hill, how would you like the opportunity to sing with Minnie Pearl on the Grand Ole Opry stage on Saturday night? Hence launching her career? I am confused. All I am saying is that Faith is beautiful and hopefully will stick to her singing career. Hey, do what your hubby Tim McGraw does, act in movies. But please, leave the designing to designers. And that goes for most of the aforementioned celebrities.
