Over the past few years, wallets have shrunk in size to
alleviate back pain and associated issues that come from
carrying all the rewards of your hard work in your back
pocket. Our wallet is made to encapsulate all of your
everyday financial and personal media, while maintaining
a small profile in your pocket.

The calling or visiting card was once an essential
instrument of social etiquette among the higher classes.
From the 17th to the 19th century, a gentleman or lady
simply wasn’t received during the Georgian, Regency,
and Victorian eras unless they first conveyed their card,
typically via servant to servant. The business card,
introduced first as a trade card in 17th century London,
supplanted its printed forbearer in the wake of the
Industrial Revolution, remaining a ubiquitous cultural
staple even this far into the Digital Revolution. Whatever
cards you might collect or dispense now, tomorrow, and
well into the future, our lined chrome/veg retan leather
card case will carry them with ageless distinction. Or this
simple, handsome piece works well as a compact front
pocket wallet, boasting a vintage detail cribbed from a
1920’s model: a nifty token pocket for tiny treasures.
A handshake was the credit of days gone by. Now,
pledge for payment comes in rectangular plastic,
platinum and a variety of other respect-producing
materials. We decided to offer a handy holder that will
make an even more prestigious impact upon payment.
Leather with suede interior will burnish to become
a reliable companion.

It is what the name says—a handy loop of leather and
strong clip for your keys. We’re not sure where the term
“fob” came from but it must translate as “useful”
in some vernacular.

Over the years, we have noticed a common theme
with the typical customer. They like the commonly
opulent, yet are surprisingly humble. We wanted this
belt to do the same and be able to accessorize any form
of attire, and in an elegant yet straight-forward manner
(1 ⅜" wide).

Inspired by the men that tamed the Texas frontier, our
Ranger Belt was made to be as rugged yet sophisticated
as they were. We’d love to say we invented the Ranger
Belt, but it’s been around longer than most any of us.
The design was implemented from a cinching technique
used in horse tack that allows a strap to be tightened
without pinching the horse’s hair in the buckle. The
Texas Rangers adapted this technique into the design
of a belt in the 1840’s, when they began using the new
Colt Walker six-shooter, a substantially sized firearm
which demanded larger holsters and thus wider cuts of
leather than standard belts. By mimicking the cinching
technique from horse tack in the design of the ranger
belt, the Rangers could wear a smaller, more functional
belt and still holster the larger sidearm. Consequently,
this style of two-layered leather belt is named after the
Texas Rangers (1 ⅜" wide).
