Men’s Christmas Gift: Choosing Practical Leather Goods

A leather goods Christmas gift starts with a habit: carrying cards in a pocket, using a wallet or taking a satchel bag along. Here are three ways to use them, with Secrid, Lacoste and Chabrand styles to help you choose an item that will fit into his everyday routine.

For cards in a pocket: two formats to compare

The Lacoste Fitzgerald card holder measures 11 cm long, 7.5 cm high and 0.5 cm wide. It is worth considering if you are mainly looking for a slim accessory.

The Secrid Twinwallet Vintage card holder has different proportions: 7 cm long, 10.2 cm high and 2.5 cm wide. It is shorter, but taller and thicker than the Fitzgerald. If you are replacing a card holder, let this difference guide your choice before considering the brand.

Our advice: for someone who prefers a slim accessory, start with the Fitzgerald. If they would like to try a different format, compare the Twinwallet with their current model. Explore the card holders for a wider selection.

For keeping familiar habits: the wallet

The Lacoste Fitzgerald Black wallet measures 11 cm long, 9.5 cm high and 2 cm wide. Compared with the Fitzgerald card holder, it has the same length but is taller and thicker.

Its product details list several card slots and a banknote compartment. It is an option to consider if you know the recipient wants to stick with a wallet and keep banknotes in a dedicated compartment. Discover the brand’s other accessories in the Lacoste collection.

For carrying essentials: a classic satchel bag or a holster bag

The Lacoste Men's Classic Black Zippered Satchel Bag has a horizontal format: 21 cm long, 16 cm high and 7 cm wide. Its product details list an adjustable crossbody strap, an exterior pocket and two interior pockets. It is a good starting point for someone looking for a satchel bag with several compartments.

The Chabrand Touch Bis Zippered Holster Bag has a vertical silhouette: 18 cm long, 30 cm high and 6 cm wide. Consider this option if the recipient specifically wants a holster bag. To explore other styles, see the satchel bags for men.

The detail that makes the gift personal

Take a look at the accessory he uses today, how he carries it and what he would like to change. A familiar format is a good starting point; a stated preference is a reason to try something different. For an item to carry specific belongings, check the useful measurements and the opening of the chosen model.
