SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE BEST LEATHER WALLETS

1. Leather Quality

The first and fore-most thing to look in a wallet is its leather quality. This might be new to you but leather comes in four different categories.

Full grain leatherMost expensive and premium quality leather
Top grain leatherLeather with second best quality (the top cut of a cowhide with the outermost layer of the skin removed)
Genuine leatherIt is not pure leather it is real leather but of low grade quality
Bonded leatherAmalgamation of genuine, top grain and full grain leather. It is actually a mix of both real and fake leather

I hope the above table has helped you to understand the fact that the wallet of your choice should have top or full-grain leather. It should not have a “genuine leather” tag on it otherwise your wallet will turn to ashes in one or two years. Few brands use top-grain or full-grain leather in the manufacturing of products. Some popular brands to look for top and full grain wallets are Blackbird leathers, Bellroy, Gucci, etc. However, if you want to read about the types of leather in detail then you may CLICK HERE to read about it later.

3. RFID Protection

RFID is a acronym for Radio Frequency Identification. It refers to a radio waves-based technology used to passively identify tagged objects. It’s used in several commercial and industrial applications, including debit/credit cards, passports, and contactless cards. The technology uses microchips that store data and scanners to read the microchips.

In simple words, your sensitive data can be breached from your cards from your wallet so in order to secure yourself from these kind of theft you need a wallet that may protect you as well. RFID Protection is imperative in this era of technological advancement. At Blackbird Leathers, we offer this protection through our Leather Wallets.

4. Size of Wallet

The size of wallet depends upon how much you want to take along you. The amount of money and cards should be taken in account before choosing a wallet for you. An ideal wallet must be functional enough for your everyday carry items, sleek enough to look good, and comfortably fit in your pocket. Bulky wallets are out of fashion nowadays and badly designed wallet with unnecessary pockets and extra layers of leather might make it big without adding any considerable space to it.

Due to the different needs of divergent people, different companies make different wallets of various sizes. If you mostly carry your wallet in your jeans front pocket or chest pocket, you might want to look at Minimalist & Functional Leather Wallet.

5. Craftmanship

Last but not the least, Infact, if I would rank the most important feature to look for in a wallet then it would be craftmanship. Craftmanship is the name of paying attention to every minute detail in the product and it comes only after years of practice and dedication. A poor craftmanship can ruin even the highest quality leather and premium design so this comes at the top priority.

Now, in order to find the perfect craftmanship in the wallet you need to pay due attention to the wallet. Look at the sewing, corner bends, internal pockets, and other hidden areas where a bad artisan might ignore the details. A perfectly good looking wallet might have serious craftsmanship issues when looked at closely.
