In Review: form•function•form small package wallet

f•f•f Button Stud Limited Set – $107.10 | Small Package Wallet – $48

Fall. When plants and broadcast television die, and retail production, both big and small, comes to life. Small USA-Made leather goods manufacturer form•function•form has decided to do a “5 for 10” promotion this week, releasing five new styles to start the tenth month of the year. Simple + rugged, terrific looking, and guaranteed to last a hell of a lot longer than “We are Men“, FFF goods have been on many a radar for a while.

From an observer’s perspective, FFF has two flagship products. The Button Stud Weekender, and the Architect’s wallet. So far this week they’ve released a tweak to their button stud + Timex combos, as well as a whole new category of simplified wallets…

FFF Box Set

The Button-Stud limited sets marry one of three newer Timex watches to not one, but three different button stud watch bands: Chromexcel-Black, Predator Tan, & Latigo-Ri. Or, if you’re hungry, well-done, medium, and rare. Shown above is the ultra-light in all black, and that “ultra-light” distinction is deserved. The case is plastic. So if you’re used to wearing an automatic or even a beefier quartz, this thing is going to feel… less than substantial.

Not all Timex Expeditions are created equal, and this seems to be on the lower rung. the military dial is certainly a noticeable step up from here, and then at the top there’s this brass case beast. This guy, while certainly serviceable, is lucky to be working with these bands. On their own, a FFF button stud band runs $48 a piece. $48 x 3 =  $144. With the code, you’re getting the three bands and the watch (with the original nylon strap) for $107.10. So yeah, you’re way ahead there if you want the variety. If you like lightweight watches? All the better. And as a gift set, it’s certainly worth considering. But If you want something with a little more oomph, stick with the stainless steel button stud sport.

FFF Small package

The biggest FFF release so far this week has been their new, smaller wallets. On Monday they launched the 2-pocket Greensleeve. A minimalist wallet that has a slot for cards, and one specifically reserved for cash. The coupe option would be “the small package” seen above. And that’s no insult. Shorter, two stitches, and available in many a Horween leather shade for $44.20 with the code.

Super soft and flexible, this thing can hold plenty of cards. Cash too. And if you don’t want the bills sticking out of the top (as seen above for size perspective)… y’know, you can always fold em’ in half again. Or, there’s always a moneyclip.

Who knows, maybe that’ll be FFF’s next project. A leather money clip. Horween of course.

Enter here to win both the Button Stud Ultra-Light set and the Small Package wallet seen above. One entry per person. Deadline for entry is 11:59 pm ET 10/3/13.

UPDATE: Congrats to Michael C. who won the drawing for the FFF goods!

    I bought their Architect’s Wallet about a year an half ago when I got my first ‘real’ job. The thing is fantastic. I haven’t had experience with their watch straps or this new wallet, but I’m sure they, too, are fantastic. Everyone should enter this one, and those who don’t win, go ahead and buy the one you want, because you won’t regret it.

    nice. Would love to win this.

    Shawn is killing it with the 5 for 10. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Greensleeve, then he dropped the Small Package which I like even more. I have to be patient and wait what he releases tomorrow and Friday before I order.

    Joe: Will the code still be good on Friday?

    Edit: The small package is actually two pockets. Shawn has cards in that front flap on his website.

    The code does not bring the price to $107.10 but to $127.10 for me

  6. Yaniel says

    The $107 is for the ultralight who’s base price is $126. The Military Field watch’s base price is $150, and is probably what you’re looking at.

    One of the days I’ll win a dappered give away…one day!!

    FFF just does it much better than anyone else! So love their band on my weekender!

    As a person who has entered, I’d advise more people to not enter, and just buy your own.

    Yes, code will still be good friday (and it’s good on the whole site, not just these products). Scheduled to end on Sunday (so, good until 11:59pm Sunday night).

    Thanks a lot, man! Really glad you like the goods.

  11. Judson M says

    October 2, 2013 at 6:28 PM

    No thank you for making them! Also just throwing out that yoy should look at making more narrow bands to fit some ladies watches… The girlfriend is always jealous of my bands!

  12. shawn says

    October 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

    Smaller than 14mm? We’ve got 14-22 and 24mm…can’t do much smaller than that and still have space for the button hole…

  13. Judson M says

    October 2, 2013 at 7:23 PM

    Well would you look at that!! I do not know how I missed all the different sizes. Now i have no excuse to not get her one!

    Thanks, I’ll be getting some brownie points very soon!

  15. pierrot says

    October 3, 2013 at 2:29 AM

    Cool bands, and I need a new wallet

  16. Judson M says

    October 3, 2013 at 7:23 AM

    That Timex is the T499339J. On amazon for 103 right now….which is stupid high. $60 plus shipping from Timex directly.

    I agree Yaniel. I have been waiting for FFF to release some cardholder style wallets…Now the question is which color.

    Shawn or Joe, do dollar bills really stick out as shown in the picture or can they sit lower? That may determine if I go with a Greensleeve or Small Package.

    Thanks!

  18. shawn says

    October 3, 2013 at 10:42 PM

    Small package is literally just large enough to fit cards; bills will stick out if inserted as shown. Greensleeve is extended long enough to hold dolla’ dolla’ bills, y’all.

  19. shawn says

    October 3, 2013 at 10:45 PM

    Greensleeve and Small Package, side by side.

    Has anyone tried the Charette Wallet? Price drops down to $76 after coupon!

  21. shawn says

    October 4, 2013 at 3:02 PM

    Charette just launched yesterday, so nobody has it in-hand yet…

    The dappered code is working today also. Thank me for talking to the FFF guys, who were so kind to extend the promo.
