Old business attire gets new life as these Recycled Necktie & Suit Wallets ($28). Handmade in Pennsylvania, the wallets sport an exterior made of a retired silk tie, while the inside is made from an old pinstripe suit. They've got room for bills and two credit cards.
Eco-friendly products made from reclaimed stuff are all the rage these days, but rarely are they as cool as these Redefining Wallets ($32-$65). These one-of-a-kind bill holders are made from random reclaimed junk, ranging from used tennis balls and tires to A-Team trading cards. Environmentally-friendly meets cutting-edge cool.
If you play the guitar (or want to look like you do) check out the Orpheus Wallet ($105). This unique, slim wallet is made form full-grain veg-tan leather, and features three slots for guitar picks on the outside. The interior card pockets — six of them — are lined with silk for easier card insertion and removal, and the exterior surface adds just the right amount of age to make this a great-looking and functional wallet.

We've shown you Koyono's Slimmy Wallet before, and now it has a sporty, sling-style sibling. The Koyono SportSlimmy Wallet ($15) is made to use without a pocket, with rugged construction, a pouch with a velcro enclosure, and a strap with a key ring. It's possibly the perfect beach wallet.
We consider our Jimi Wallets to be our most durable cash and card carriers, but that may change when we get our hands on the Dosh Wallet ($45). The Dosh is made from flexible polymers, and features an area for cash, cards, and a small integrated compartment for coins and keys. Plus, it's waterproof, making it our new favorite for the beach.
If you're trying to track down the most sought after spirits of 2014, chances are you're out of luck — unless of course, you know about Caskers. A one-stop shop for liquor connoisseurs, Caskers tracked down the bottles that you and other boozehounds searched for the most in 2014 — based on millions of searches — and has them available right now, while they last. So instead of driving all over town with no guarantee of finding that small batch bourbon or premium single malt, look no further than Caskers for the best of the best, easy on the wallet and delivered right to your door.
The products you use every day, like shampoo or shave cream, should always be the best. But drugstore pickings are slim, and online shopping is risky when you don't know what you're paying for. That's why Birchbox Man lets you try before you buy. Subscribers receive a monthly box of grooming and style essentials, all tailored to match their personal profiles. Think woodsy beard oil for the urban lumberjack, or a wool knit tie for the sartorially inclined. If you like what you get, you can buy full-size versions in the Birchbox Shop, with perks like free shipping to sweeten the pot. No more letdowns, duds, or compromises: Just a sink ledge stocked with greatness.
We've covered plenty of front-pocket wallets here on Uncrate, but rarely do we get to cover one that goes under your arm. The Koffski No. 1 Wallet ($450) looks like a gun holster, and has pockets for a wallet, cell phone, keys, a pen, credit cards, and travel papers. Made from fine Rugato calfskin in Tuscany, the wallet-bag features a premium look with water repellant leather and polished nickel parts. It's only available today however, so if you're liking the looks of it, hurry.
The original Jimi Wallet has been one of the most talked about items we've ever featured here on Uncrate. We had just one complaint — unless you roll with Benjamins instead of twenties, the old model just didn't hold enough loot. Now, with the JimiX Wallet ($16), that problem is solved, by simply moving the money clip to the outside of the wallet. Same affordability, more utility. [via]
We're big fans of alterna-wallets, and this one looks like it would be pretty cool too. While it's a little chubby, the multi-purpose Wallet 2.0 will hold a ton of stuff and can be put in your front or back pocket thanks to its soft silicone construction. It comes in five bright colors.
We love stainless steel. We love slim, front-pocket wallets. So there's no way we could ignore this Stainless Steel Wallet ($95). Designed by Theo Stewart-Stand and sold by MoMA, the wallet is made from the silky and flexible stainless-steel cloth used in industrial applications.
[Thanks, Dave]
We've been preaching the gospel of front-pocket wallets for a while now, but the recent interest in the topic allowed us to stumble upon a new collection of ultra-slim wallets that have now become our top choice. Koyono's Slimmy wallets are among the absolute thinnest on the planet, and come in three great versions — the Slimmy, the ViewSlimmy, and the SlimSlimmy. They feature an open, three-pocket design that holds the essentials — cash, credit cards, driver's license, and receipts. Take your pick — you can't go wrong with any of these.
Some people don't dig pieces of dead cow, so they still end up using hella-nasty canvas wallets from Wal-Mart. Well, this madness stops now with the Duct Tape Wallet ($18). Made with specially engineered tape, it features a bill compartment, card slots, a photo holder, and a velcro closure. [Thanks, Jeremy]
There may not be a more awesome moment in a movie than when Jules calmly tells the dude in Pulp Fiction that his wallet is "the one that says Bad Motherf*cker." We live for that scene here at Uncrate, so we did some digging, and found this exact replica of Jules' wallet ($25-$28). The look on people's faces when you whip this thing out to pay for your Mr. Pibb is worth every dime.
Show off your color knowledge geekery with the Pantone Wallet ($12). Based on the famous color matching system, the slim wallet features an elastic band closure and two interior plastic sleeves to hold ID, credit cards and cash. It comes in Shiny Baked Clay, Shiny Magenta, Matte India Ink, and Matte Violet.
