The majority of men do not use wallets; loose change, bills, cards and keys are typically stashed in compartments of cars and desks or squeezed into the back pockets of pants. For whatever reason, some men feel that wallets are like purses, and that by owning one, they become less of a man. I will admit that I understand where these guys are coming from -- no man wants to whip out a bulky wallet to pay for dinner on a first date.
Fortunately, Comme des Garcons has recently released a new line of small, simple and sophisticated leather wallets that in no shape, size or color resemble a bulky woman’s wallet. The wallets come in three functional sizes, each of which can be easily slipped inside the pocket of a jacket or in the back of pants. Each design comes in black, dark red and gray leather, and is available for purchase on the Dover Street Market website.
