I’ll confess straight away to being a bit of a wallet snob - it still makes me cringe when I see grown men remove oily ten pound notes at a bar from a fluorescent wallet they bought on holiday circa 1983 - the ones with the Velcro…..you know the ones…..
As mentioned being a wallet snob meant that I had a very nice Mont Blanc leather wallet for five to six years until it started to look a bit beaten, the thread was worn and the compartments for my cards started to split. I was happy to carry on using it but Beautyqueenuk (also known as the ball and chain - wife) had other ideas.
On unwrapping the Hugo Boss wallet to be greeted with an orange box emblazoned with Hugo Boss branding left me intrigued. I kind of hoped it was a watch but realised from the weight that it wasn’t. That said, I did beam from ear to ear when I opened the box to be presented with quite possibly the biggest wallet I had ever seen.
Made from faux leather my version of the wallet has 8 card slots - the updated version has four card slots with a little pouch for loose change. Mine doesn’t have this, but in all honesty I wouldn’t use it even if it did.

With two compartments for notes - one for notes, the other for receipts. It is spacious, can carry a large amount of notes - I’ve had 35 twenty pound notes in their before it struggled to close.
Overall, this wallet looks the part, is really well made (there are no signs of fatigue in the faux leather or seams) and does the job. The card slots haven’t worn or split so far and despite taking a battering on a daily basis as I swipe my Oyster card (it’s a swipe card to ride public transport in London that you top up with credit) to get out and about.
Yes, this is expensive for a wallet, but as a main present for the man that usually has everything it is a winner.
Hugo Boss have lots of wallets available (some at eye watering prices) here, but you can buy the wallet pictured from Northern Threads here for £75.

I think I made a great choice personally x
ReplyDeleteMy other half is so hard to buy for, but I know he'd love this. Thanks for sharing x
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I would love just to get my hands on 35 £20 notes! I do like the look of this wallet, I do think the price is a bit steep though! The OH needs a new wallet, but I don't think he's quite ready to part with his Liverpool velcro one *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLOL, well if it is a LFC wallet he can be excused! Thanks for reading and commenting Laura. Stephen :o)
DeleteI like the messenger bag the most. I know a few people this would make a great gift for.
ReplyDeleteMy other half loves a good wallet - so if he hadn't already not long had one this would have made a super present for him.
ReplyDeleteAnother great pick! :) xxx
ReplyDeletelove the wallet! my partner has lost so many wallets this year though so dont buy him expensive wallets anymore.

What a great wallet! Hugo Boss is such a great all around brand. I remember buying my Dad a belt a few years ago and it is still in such great condition. I think their pieces are very timeless.

Your wife is so cute, lol! I love the look of that wallet, it's elegant and classy, but you'd expect nothing less from HB!
ReplyDeleteNice wallet - my OH has a nice leather wallet with a photo of me every time he opens it to warn him not to spend too much ;) Great gift idea.
ReplyDeleteI love a nice wallet. I think this is very good gift idea... after all we all use it in one form or another
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice wallet! They're important especially as you use them daily
ReplyDeleteMy other half is due another wallet I reckon, his old one is looking worse for wear - thankfully no velcro in sight though!
ReplyDeletewow it definitely stored a lot! love the simple design
ReplyDeleteI hate those velcro ones too, but my favourite wallet my husband owns is one made out of duck tape his eldest daughter made him for Father's Day :-) #toocute
ReplyDeleteMy OH has a habit of losing things, so I don't think he'd trust himself with an expensive wallet, and certainly not with 35 £20 notes in it! Great gift idea though!
ReplyDeleteA good wallet will last for years. My Hubby has had his for about 7 and it was expensive!
ReplyDeleteHubby wants a wallet for Christmas, not sure this has enough card space though
ReplyDeleteSounds great :)
ReplyDeleteSound like a fantastic wallet x
ReplyDeleteLove this post men are so difficult to buy for.
ReplyDeletevery smart. so hard to buy for men
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of giving books instead of cards at baby showers. I also give books to kids as gifts other times of the year like Christmas and birthdays. My daughter loves getting new books.'
