Jack Spade Vertical Plaid Cardholder – $37.50 (reg. $75)
Color is back. Even guys who claim to be minimalists are buying bright green pants. But working color like this into your wallet lineup won’t come naturally for some.
Stray much farther than a plain leather billfold, and memories of that poor kid who was the last to move on from a velcro nylon number (it was royal blue with red stripes) start to crop up. That, and aren’t women the ones who collect things to keep their IDs and cash in? Y’know… purses?
On the other hand, it’d look incredible with a summer suit or light blazer if you keep the rest of your outfit quiet. Maybe it’s the right injection of color for holding your cash & cards while out for drinks on a warm summer’s night.
Your thoughts? Would you carry it? And how many wallets/card cases do you own? Leave it all below…
I like it. Debating on buying it now.
And Joe mine was black with superman embossed on the front – I know, it was awesome!
People still use wallets?
I’ve been using the same black, leather bi-fold wallet since tenth grade (with a brief hiatus during college when we had those wallets that held your student ID on the outside and came with a key ring). That being said, I don’t think this is particularly ostentatious and it’s like that hidden punchline – it’s not flashy like wearing a madras sport coat; it’s even a little more subtle than wearing crazy suspenders under a tuxedo. It’s that perfect punchline for a stayed outfit or the perfect compliment to something a little more exciting.
I’d shy away, as my bleak leather wallet already looks like a carnival once I open it up thanks to the bright colors and ginormous logos that get splashed all over cards now. This wallet looks great if you’re going to carry, say, your ID, one credit card, and cash. Once your AAA card, insurance cards, other credit cards, warehouse club card, and store/restaurant cards go in, it’s just too much.
I think it makes for a refreshing splash of color, specially if, like me, you typically go for a more subdued palate. Something about that particular plaid though…makes it look like the the pixelated blur you sometimes get before an image fully downloads.
NICE. My royal blue with the red piping would have been jealous (Superman color scheme, but total generic. No logo)
Been using a slim Louis Vuitton wallet since sophomore year of high school (all of 8 years now) but have been looking for something even slimmer like this. I like the color and material…. must.. click.. away..

This wallet is awesome. I carry a tan leather wallet with a cool design on it (I can’t find it online anymore, but it is dope), but I’d definitely carry this.
I’m someone who loves color and pattern, but I wouldn’t buy this because it’s something you carry everyday. It would make it difficult to wear other items with intense/different color or pattern if you always have this wallet. It’d be like driving a bright yellow car or wearing lime green glasses.
I got a Malcolm Fontier Mojito about a year ago and my back right ass cheek has thanked me ever since… I’ll never carry anything larger … or anything in my back pockets ever again
Yes.
Nein.
Absolutely, I think this is a brilliant find. Not too insanely expensive and it’s certainly a unique look. Perfect for summer spending, imo.
Nope. I embrace color in certain highlights like pocket squares and ties. Yet for this application, I stick with dark leather.
