Men's Leather Wallet in Black and Red Boxcalf with 10 Card Slots by Fort Belvedere

As a companion carried with you almost every day, you never want to skimp on your wallet, especially when it plays such an important role as a functional tool and as an emblem of your personal style. Fort Belvedere is proud to carry a range of wallets handmade in Germany according to traditional leathercraft techniques, such as the use of folded edges, a time-consuming technique rarely employed today that massively improves the look, functionality, and durability of the wallet.

At Fort Belvedere, we wanted the highest quality belt we could find paired with the flexibility of an interchangeable buckle system, so you could always get the right pairing with your shoes and accessories. Also, we wanted this to be a long-lasting investment you make in your accessories, allowing you to create exactly the look you want, in the size you need, without sacrificing the quality, feel, and looks of the highest quality belt on the market today.

Best of all, the system is future proof, so any future buckle or belt you purchase gives you more options with your belts. For example, if you travel and you bring 3 leather belts and 3 buckles, that gives you nine belt options, yet you just have to bring 3 belts with you, thus saving you the hassle and weight. 

1. Perfectly Sourced Raw Materials. A great wallet requires great raw materials, and no material is better for wallets than exceptional leather. To bring you the finest leather possible, we sourced our hides from German cows that are pastured high in the Alps. Because of the colder temperatures, these regions have fewer mosquitoes and pests, meaning that the cows are less likely to get bitten. As a result, leather from these cows is naturally more beautiful and unblemished, with fewer unsightly defects. 

2. Skived for Comfort. To create a slim and portable wallet, the leather for both the interior and exterior of this wallet was carefully thinned, or skived. The result is a thinner wallet that will sit comfortably in your pocket but is still just as beautiful and as durable. 

3. Artisanal Construction. From start to finish, this wallet was handmade by skilled German artisans who have been perfecting the craft of fine, small leather goods making for more than a century. 

4. Thinned Folded Edges. Folded edges are essential for ensuring the durability of a leather wallet. But most high-end wallets are made with folded edges that are then cut, leaving an inelegant, rougher edge. At Fort Belvedere, the edges of our wallets are meticulously thinned down before being folded and sewn together. This not only produces cleaner, more even lines, it also greatly reduces the wear on the corners of the wallet. 

5. Rounded Corners. The corners of this wallet have been carefully rounded. Not only does this allow the wallet to more easily slide in and out of your pocket, it also makes less of an impression on the fabric, meaning that the wallet won’t noticeably spoil the lines of your clothes. 

6. All-Leather Lining. Almost all other wallet-makers use less expensive or even synthetic fabrics for the lining and dividers in their wallets. At Fort Belvedere, we insist upon real leather for all of our structural linings, ensuring a more beautiful and more long-lasting product.            

7. 10 Card Slots. With its simple billfold design, this wallet was engineered to easily hold 10 cards without having to rely on a third, bulky card holder. While other wallets with a similar profile can only hold 6 or 8 cards, you don’t need to compromise on what you carry with Fort Belvedere, thanks to our use of an extremely thin and lightweight but also sturdy cotton fabric to line the card slots. 

8. Contrasting Colors. While most contemporary wallets are available in plain black or shades of brown, Fort Belvedere refuses to let boredom win, and so our wallets offer classically inspired style with an elegant twist. The shell of this wallet is a stately brown OR warm burgundy OR refined black, but the contrast stitching and edges hint at the vibrant surprise waiting inside: an exquisite edge-to-edge lining in beautiful blue OR dapper turquoise OR dynamic red. The lining also features an understated contrasting brown OR black thread. While tone-in-tone threads can obscure errors, when it comes to Fort Belvedere quality, we have nothing to hide! 

9. Color-Coordinating Options. Fort Belvedere offers a full line of wallets in pairings of brown and blue, burgundy and turquoise, and black and red, with coordinating business card cases. These options will allow you to perfectly harmonize all of your leather goods with the leather accessories in your outfit.          

3b. Saffiano Leather Is The Perfect Belt Lining. Most belts use a suede leather or high-end belts often use the same leather on the inside as they do on the outside. The problem with suede is that it sticks to your pants when you try to get the belts through the loop. If you use the same Nappa leather on the inside of a belt, it will wrinkle and crease because the inside of a circle is always shorter in distance than the outside. 

Because of that, we decided to use a high-quality Italian Safffiano leather that has already the right structure to be on the inside of a belt. Most companies use Saffiano on the outside because of the beauty of the textured look. At Fort Belvedere we use it on the inside because it is smooth so you can put in your belt easily, and it will not wrinkle or crease any further because it has already been creased to achieve the Saffiano look. We chose to get this leather from an Italian tannery that specializes in this type of leather and we simply wanted to use just the best raw materials for our belt.
