Men's Leather Trifold Wallet with ID Holder

Be sure to take a look at your dad’s current wallet, as men normally prefer either a bifold or a trifold wallet. You might even ask him if there are any features he would like in a wallet that his current wallet doesn’t have. Ask him if he prefers a leather wallet or a nylon wallet. Now you are ready to shop. We recommend the men’s wallets found at www.texcynwallets.com as they are leather, durable and affordable.

Another option to consider for dear old Dad is a shaving bag, also known as a toiletry bag. Shaving bags are great for keeping all of dad’sbathroom necessities in one place both at home and when traveling. A leather shaving bag is always an appreciated Fathers Day gift and can be purchased for less than $20 at www.texcynwallets.com.

Leather Shoulder Bag

have different purse styles on hand so you always have the perfect bag for every occasion.

The most common purse style is the traditional shoulder strap bag. This bag is carried on the shoulder, with a medium to long drop on the strap. It is convenient for everyday use as it keeps your hands free. However, if you carry a lot of weight in your handbag, this type of bag can cause shoulder pain, so be sure to lighten your purse as much as possible when carrying a bag with a shoulder strap.

If you do carry a lot of weight in your purse, you might consider a backpack style bag. These bags have become very popular in the last few years and come in many different styles, sizes and shapes. The backpack style handbag is carried on the back, on both shoulders, allowing you to balance the weight of your bag, while keeping your hands free. Be sure to determine the size of the bag body that you need (see Part 2 of this series).

Leather Backpack Style Purse

If  you’re going to be in a crowded place, a crossbody style bag is a good option. The strap on a crossbody handbag is normally very long and is worn diagonally across the chest. This makes it very difficult for someone to steal or pickpocket your bag. This type of handbag typically has a small to medium size body making it perfect for a day at the amusement park.

Going out for the evening? Choose a clutch purse or wristlet purse. These bags are small, with just enough room for the essentials.

Wristlet Clutch Purse

A clutch is carried in the hand, while a wristlet is more versatile and can be carried in the hand or hung from the wrist. A wristlet clutch is the perfect choice for an evening on the town as it can be kept with you at all times, without getting in the way.

Another option that many women are choosing is the waistbag or “fanny pack”. These bags are carried around the waist, making them hands free and easily accessible. Waistbags can be found in the traditional black leather, as well as many different colors and fabrics, making them stylish and convenient.

To determine what size you need, find an old handbag that has room in it for what you want to carry. Measure the length, crosswise, and then the height, up and down, and finally, the depth. The depth is normally measure on the bottom of the bag from front to back. When looking at handbags online you will want to look for the length, height and depth, or width, measurements and compare them to your measurements to make sure they are similar.

If you do not have an older handbag in the size you want, fill a large ziplock bag and measure it. Keep in mind that you may want different size handbags for different occasions. Normally your everyday bag is going to be the largest and your evening bag the smallest.

Another consideration is if you wish to go without a wallet in order to reduce the size of the bag you need to carry. If this is the case, look for an organizer handbag that has a zip around pocket to hold credit cards, pens and even an ID. This can reduce the size of the handbag you need by allowing you to leave your wallet at home.

One of the biggest concerns our customers have is the strap length. The easiest measurement to use for this is called the “drop.” This is the length from the middle of the strap, where it hangs on the shoulder, to the top of the body of the bag. You can determine your preferred drop in one of two ways:

If you have a current handbag that you are happy with the drop, hang it on a nail on the wall with the middle of the strap on the nail. Use a tape measure to measure the distance from the nail to the body of the bag. That is your drop.

If you do not have a handbag with the drop you want, then determine where on your body you want the body of the handbag to rest. Have a friend use a tape measure to measure from the top of your shoulder to the part of your body you want the handbag to hang. This will be the drop measurement to look for online.

The other consideration would be if you prefer to carry your handbag on your elbow rather than the shoulder. In this case you would want to bend your elbow like you were carrying a purse, and have your friend measure from the elbow bend to the place on the body you want the handbag to hang.

If you are reading an ad for a handbag on your favorite shopping site and the drop is not listed, we recommend you contact the company and ask for this crucial information. We hope you will check the variety of leather handbags we have available at www.texcynwallets.com

Our next installment will be about measuring the body of the bag. Please stay tuned!
