A Moose in Your Pocket

Rogue Front Pocket Wallet

$65

There’s no law that requires wallets to reside in a back pocket, and those seeking an alternative to traditional lumpy wallets will be enthralled by this brilliant design. Crafted in Maine from durable moose leather, it’s designed to fit in a front pocket, putting it out of reach of pickpockets while holding cash, credit cards, and even a few business cards, as well. It also incorporates RFID-blocking technology to help foil high-tech thieves using credit card scanners.

Sleek & Smart

Bellroy Hide & Seek
$89

A close look at this clever wallet reveals a wealth of secrets. At first glance, it’s a normal, slim wallet with a section for cash and slots to securely hold credit cards for easy access. However, within the slim confines is a secret section hidden beneath a flap to secure additional cash, as well as a pocket to hold coins or business cards. It also blocks RFID scanners to help prevent unauthorized access to credit card information.

This simple money clip combines a traditional, no-nonsense design with a genuine U.S. half dollar in Walking Liberty, Benjamin Franklin, and John F. Kennedy designs. The available dates of the coins range from 1934 to 2021. To make it one of a kind, the owner’s initials can be added as an engraved monogram. The stainless steel, two-inch-wide clip will securely hold folded cash, as well as a few credit cards and business cards.

The Reinvented Money Clip

Longfellow Leather Money Clip Wallet
$45

This elegantly simple design combines a card holder with a money clip. It’s crafted of hand-dyed, full-grain leather from the Hermann Oak Tannery in St. Louis and finished with beeswax from Iowa’s Wolf River Bees. The pocket holds up to five credit cards and business cards, while the clip secures cash against the pocket section, keeping it neatly folded. The thin design eliminates “wallet bulge,” is very comfortable to carry, and is easy to retrieve when needed.

From the folks best known for their iconic pens comes a wallet that exudes style. Part of Montblanc’s “Sartorial” collection, you don’t have to use this only when wearing a tuxedo, as it lends a sense of sophistication even if the owner is wearing jeans. Accented by the firm’s emblem and crafted of exquisitely finished Italian full-grain calfskin, the slim wallet can be embossed with up to four letters at no additional charge, to add a personal touch.
