Fire away.









Need your opinion on:

1) long wallets for men
2) this particular design

I am a young adult working a city job. Let me know what you think!

1) A breast wallet which is a more correct name, is fine if slightly impractical these days. It can only practically reside in an inside breast pocket of a suit coat. Looks good in use but in open plan offices, air-conditioned offices when you remove your coat it can be difficult to carry about rather than abandon it at your desk which is never a good idea. At least a smaller wallet will slip into one of your back pockets.

All that said it is a very smart idea as long as you do not use it as a filing cabinet and have a clearly visible and unsightly bulge when you wear the coat. Keep it down to the least you need and always put it into the pocket of any coat that you are trying before purchase to avoid bulges. it could affect what you buy.
The other issue is when you do not wear a coat, leisure etc, the same problems of how to carry it arise.


2) That is just vulgar, ugly - the embossing simply looks cheap. get one which is plain and more conservative and you will be fine and have something which few of your peers will have.
