SSU Men - Your Guide to Buy Wallets (for Men)

Wallets are an inseparable part of our male community like handbags, shoes, makeup and skincare are of females. (No pun intended). When guys are stepping out of the house, the first thing they pick is wallet and they are good to go whether they are in their track suits or their suits. When a girl steps out, she matches her shoes, tries to use a little makeup on her face and she does not forget skincare which can be anything from facial wipes to brushing her lips to make it a lot pinker and smooth. So I am right!! One Hundred percent!!
So, one of my acquaintances wanted to know the best online websitesto shop for wallets. It led me to write this post and do a little search on Google.

Tips to Buy Wallets

• Since not everybody changes his wallet all the time, it's better to choose a tough and rough material like leather. Try to choose such leather - faux or original which weathers but nicely and doesn't lose its quality. It should get better with age. 
• Use a wallet with many compartments which give you the flexibility while using it for different items. Those compartments should be spacious enough.
• Do not forget to choose wallet with coin pouch/pocket. Only if you keep a lot of change. You can skip it if you are a plastic money holder only.
• Avoid velcros unless you are a kid.
• Unless you are very much into plastics, avoid anything that looks shiny, plastic-y because it just looks tacky.

How To Take Care of Your Leather Accessories

• Always read the tag that comes along with almost all items for the materials they are made of. Do NOT ignore that. They are very important.
• Invest into leather creams and weather protectors.
• Ensure that you have applied weather protector on to your leather accessories and clothings whenever you step out.
• Leather is a porous material so whenever you think that it soaked in the rain/water, it is covered with dust - just clean it by so it can breathe.
• Hang it on a wide pad hanger so it can achieve its natural shape.
• Let it Dry Naturally.

Above mentioned tips are applicable to original leathers. If you choose faux leather, it would work on them as well. It's just that you do not need to let the faux leather breathe and you can keep them by folding in newspaper.
