Like a stylish watch, a wallet can be both practical in use and a fashion accessory.

See, men like to travel much lighter than women (who sometimes carry their entire life in a handbag - my wife can tell you all about it), with our wallet holding our most basic essentials. Cash, cards, and some form of identification.

The best wallets are made out of leather.

Not only do they prove durable and can last years with proper care, but they also match up well with a tailored suit, when one made out of fabric just wouldn't cut it.

Cowhide is the most common leather used as it's durable and dyed in a variety of colors.

Not all leather wallets are created equal, as grade levels vary, based on the quality of the hide.

If you grab a wallet made of standard cowhide leather compared to one constructed out of calfskin, the latter will have a more luxurious, softer feel.

Bifolds are the most traditional types of wallets.

They consist of a single fold with two equal sides, usually with a single large lip running the length of the body for cash.

Thicker bifolds even have a slot for an additional ID wallet, which can be removed entirely and used on its own, which is great if you are opting to wear a pair of slim jeans on a night out.
