Ridge Wallet: Your Cash Deserves To Ride Shotgun

Style By on Feb 19, 2013

We men have traditionally kept our wallets in our back pockets, but is the rear seat what our dead presidents truly deserve? Our credit cards? Our IDs? Our 2010-purchased condoms? No sir. Slim things down and move your valuables to the shotgun spot with the Ridge ($38), a slim, aluminum and stainless steel wallet that lets you hold up to 10 cards and some cash right there in your front pocket. The Ridge also blocks RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), so tech-savvy bad guys won’t be able to swipe your vital info. Plus low-tech baddies who now try to pickpocket will just get a handful of ass, so everybody wins here. [via]

Bellroy Card Sleeve Wallet

Style By on Nov 29, 2012

The “Nude Approach” isn’t just a lifestyle practiced by some freethinking communities, it’s also the idea behind Bellroy’s new minimalistic concept. The Card Sleeve Wallet ($55) does away with the traditional bi-fold arrangement and maintains only a vegetable tanned leather sleeve with slits on each end for quick extraction of business cards, credit cards, or folded dollar bills. The sleeve features a pull-tab to avoid any type of unwanted delay in removing your items. Also, some members of these aforementioned communities also come with a pull-tab, but any type of temptation to pull on these will be quickly interrupted by the discovery that they produce no money.

TGT Wallet

Style By on Oct 26, 2012

Us writers generally don’t have this problem (we’re poor as F), but I hear bulky wallets can be a nuisance, especially when you’re trying to project a nice shapely rear end to the world. The TGT (pronounced “tight”) wallet ($16) takes the typical wallet and trims the fat like an Olsen twin with a cut of prime rib. It’s a paper-thin elastic and leather wallet made in Brooklyn, NY, and it promises to hold all your vital stuff without weighing down your caboose. Of course, your other option for a lighter wallet is to become a writer.

Slim Timber Wood Wallet

Style By on Jun 14, 2012

Well, what do we have here? A wallet made out of wood. You know where this thing probably shines? And the people behind it aren’t gonna admit to this, but I’m guessing the Slim Timber Wood Wallet ($45) excels at keeping condoms safe. Ya ever have a condom in your wallet for so long, that by the time you’re lucky enough to get some (sex), that thing is flatter than Natalie Portman? Yeah; that’s happened. Each wallet is handmade, so no two wallets are alike. Then again, if you run into someone on the street who also has a wooden wallet, odds are an asteroid is about to hit your neck.

The Moneywrap

Style By on Jun 6, 2012

Women are notorious for sizing a man up; checking out his jeans; and admiring the bulge–in his back pocket. Yup, no matter how hard you might want ’em fixated on the front, it’s that wallet outline that ladies love to spy on, determining your net worth with just a cursory glance. Combat these broads at their own game with the Moneywrap ($56), a minimalist wallet that shrinks to iPhone size with the help of crafty engineering and an elastic band. It holds your cash and cards with the tiniest of footprints, so these wallet-watching women won’t even know where to look, perhaps causing them to, yes, inadvertently gaze in the general direction of your fully clothed penis. Happy now?

Batman Money Clip

Style By on Apr 2, 2012

Other than the Bat-Tampon, what’s the one Bat device the caped crusader never whipped out in a pinch? Correct! It’s the Batman Money Clip ($40), which is now here to hold your cash and if need be, serve as a baddie beat-down instrument. With die-cast metal construction, a matte black rubberized coating, and a magnetized grip to hold your wads and wads of cash (OK, fine, $11), the only way you’ll be more prepared for Gotham’s goons is if you have a scantily clad chum named Dick Grayson riding in your sidecar.
