ITALIAN LEATHER BREAST WALLET
We carry this type of wallet in 5 leather lines: Belting, Metropolitan, Croco, Prestige, Sienna. The Croco and Sienna are made from Italian leather.
From the time I was a young girl, I always got a kick out of seeing a man, usually in the movies, pull out his “credit card wallet” from his very expensive suit jacket!! Breast wallets are cool! The great thing about this type of fine leather wallet, is you can carry ALL your important credit cards while traveling, and there almost always will be a slot for your receipts and airline ticket, as well as pictures of your wife or girlfriend children, dog, boat, etc. All of the breast wallets we carry fit a standard size suit jacket inside pocket. They all measure approximately 7 x 4 inches and have several slots for important papers and receipts. They do vary in leather type.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A LEATHER BREAST WALLET:
- Fine stitching, a fine leather wallet should last many years.
- Again, tight stitching around the corners, so the leather does not ravel from use
- If thumb prints bother you, you may consider the Prestige line, resists finger prints, scratches and stains.
- Measure your suit or sport coat jacket inside pocket and compare to the dimensions inside the ad.
- Realize that you do not have to constrain yourself to only a bifold, there is probably a place in your life for not only a breast wallet, bifold, ID weekend wallet, but perhaps even a Genuine Ostrich money clip from our eBay store!
- Look for manufacturer warranty on workmanship or defects
- Life is too short to not carry a fine leather wallet or two, or three...
TIPS ON CARING FOR YOUR FINE LEATHER BREAST WALLET
Use a non-wax base fine leather lotion. We provide a Jack George lotion free of charge, you only pay shipping, when you buy a Jack Georges product. This is only while supplies last, please check with us.
If you get your wallet wet, allow it to air dry, but first pat it as dry as possible with soft dry cloth, then line the inside slots with soft thin cloth or paper towel to help it hold its shape, while air drying.
For spots, try leather spray-on spot remover, or ½ white vinegar and ½ water solution (works great for alcohol and sugar spots). Always test, test on small inside area first.
