Accessories (Wallets, Sunglasses, etc.)

Can you guys suggest some nice leather wallets? I'd prefer to not get into the prada and mont blanc territory unless you guys think its a good idea to buy one of those new off of ebay. I want a bifold with a few card slots but no change pouch.

48Laws · 03-13-2012, 04:27 PM

I use them and Gucci.

Go to a men's store and buy a regular wallet. Men don't use Gucci and Prada.

I love my prada sunglasses.

zachar3 · 03-13-2012, 04:50 PM

I disagree on the gucci and prada point. They make really nice stuff, its just wayyyy overpriced. But are there any more brand suggestions?

Dumb comment. Two of the most masculine,high-end brands. The alternative is a Fossil wallet if you want to look like you're 16.

Who cares? Looking 16 doesn't change having a big boy bank account and investment portfolio if you choose not to overspend on a Gucci wallet. Some the poorest people I know have a nice wallet, watch, shoes, clothes, etc. They spend all their money on looking rich.

I like nice stuff too, but a $300 wallet doesn't necessarily make you more mature just as a cheap one doesn't make you appear young.

Nice, been looking for some single wallet type devices.

48Laws · 03-13-2012, 05:12 PM

A man should have a great pair if shoes, a great watch and a good wallet. Those are essential for MEN. Your portfolio yadda is your business and frankly has zero to do with the OPs question. Funny, people spend lots of money on drinks to only piss it out moments later. $300 or whatever for something that can last your lifetime is beans.

I've got the shoes and watches (3 Breitlings/1 Tag), but I hate regular wallets and the Polo money clip I got doesn't hold enough cards for me.

zachar3 · 03-13-2012, 05:18 PM

I got the shoes and watch under control. Is it worth it to shell out a few hundo for a high end wallet? Im gonna be lugging it around in college so Im just worried it will get lost or destroyed. And of the nicer wallets I think mont blanc makes the nicest stuff. Anybody agree or disagree?

E90SoFlo · 03-13-2012, 05:24 PM

Sunglasses should be on the list of Shoes, Watches, Belts.

$300 isn't that much.

Agreed.
Got that covered too, 3 pair of Maui Jims. Their lenses are the best.

48Laws · 03-13-2012, 05:28 PM

When I spend my money, I buy items that last. Well made shoes that can be re-soled etc. If your things lasts, you're not really wasting money, are you? You don't need a lot, just a few good/great stuff.

As far as sunglasses, I prefer Persol and Oliver Peoples.

zachar3 · 03-13-2012, 05:32 PM

I gotta get some new shades too but that comes later because I have a few pairs that work for me.

zachar3 · 03-13-2012, 05:35 PM

I love persols. My father goes crazy with sunglasses. He had a pair of persols that he bought and never wore that I took from him. They have to be from the early 90s but they look better than anything else I've seen. Ray bans have become too cliche even though I'm guilty of owning a pair.

How do I change the title of this thread to the accessories thread? haha

KingOfJericho · 03-13-2012, 05:38 PM

I have a Bosca. Paid about $100 for it and they all come with a lifetime guarantee. I had some of the cloth lining separate from the leather so I sent it back. They sent me a brand new one in less than a week. I get quite a few compliments on it as well, which is nice I guess.

48Laws · 03-13-2012, 05:39 PM

Ray-bans been around since the '60s. It's a great brand for the price. Stay with the classics like Aviators and Wayfarer and you'd be good.

zachar3 · 03-13-2012, 05:41 PM

Yeah but recently, at least in Miami, there has been an explosion of wayfarers. I like them but I prefer a different classic look.

stimpy · 03-13-2012, 05:45 PM

I gave up my Maui Jims for a pair of Dillons. Absolutely love the lenses and style.
