Polo Men's Wallets
From LoveToKnow Handbags
Clean and classic, Polo men's wallets are a smart choice for the fashionable male who appreciates simple luxury without the fuss. Wallets may go generally unnoticed, but a high-quality style made with fine materials and detailed to perfection will go a long way.
About Polo Ralph Lauren
The jockey sitting atop a horse is something of an epic image in the fashion world. It's a symbol as renowned as Lacoste's crocodile and Burberry's knight. Born in 1971, it was one of Ralph Lauren's first moves in womenswear that captured attention. The iconic Polo logo is just one factor that makes the label so recognizable, though. More importantly, Ralph Lauren's product line has captured attention – and closet space – of men and women worldwide. Combining chic, flattering styles with modern sensibilities, the collections prove indispensable in well-rounded wardrobes.
Shopping for Polo Men's Wallets
Never mind that a wallet can be found at just about any store. When it comes to this oft-used accessory, more is, well, more. It's about finding a piece that is well made and designed to stand the test of time. Considering just how frequently the wallet is yanked out of pockets and generally manhandled, it should come as no surprise that a quality style is considered a fashion essential.
Fortunately, there's no dearth of smart, impeccably crafted wallets in the Polo Ralph Lauren lineup. Men can find something to suit just about every taste and lifestyle – and in a wide range of prices. That's because many Polo men's wallets are available on sale at any given time, and they're sold at numerous online and brick and mortar stores. This is great news for consumers who appreciate a little variety!
Styles
If you're on a budget, you're in luck. There's a Polo wallet out there for you. If money is no object, though, you quite literally have your pick of the litter – and there is plenty to feast your eyes on. Here are just a few examples of what you might come across in your search for the perfect Polo wallet, regardless of your budget!
- Crocodile is commonly found in the luxurious Ralph Lauren lineup, in everything from men's billfolds to women's handbags. Crocodile wallets may run upwards of $2000 in some cases, and are available in a spate of neutral, practical shades (think black, camel and dark brown). When it comes to extravagance, there really is nothing more refined than this, at least in the wallet world. Crocodile lining ensures that the wallet looks as polished inside as it does outside.
- Long wallets are more streamlined than their squat counterparts. If you prefer this shape, you'll find great choices in the Polo range. Look for lean, slim pocket wallets crafted from soft leather in a variety of neutral colors. Prices vary highly (from $100 to $2000!); this varies greatly depending on the material. The benefit of a longer wallet is the checkbook flap, which eliminates the need to carry several separate, folded checks.
- Sporty styles prove just how well rounded the Polo wallet range truly is. Made with the same high-quality material as its higher-priced shelf mates, the sportier wallets typically cost a bit less and run somewhere in the $100-200 range. Look for colorful contrasting stripes and players' numbers atop neutral backgrounds. This type of wallet is a great gift for a young man – a high school graduate may not appreciate the label just yet, but the quality and workmanship is incomparable and will last him years.
- Classic leather wallets are absolutely timeless in their appeal. Crafted from the smoothest Italian leathers and polished to perfection, these wallets offer all the necessities a man requires from his functional wallet, including currency pockets, slide pockets and card slots, at a bare minimum. Depending on the wallet in question, it may include extra storage space, as well. Prices vary greatly, and many styles can be found for under $100.
- Other items to look for include card cases and basic nylon billfolds (note that nylon is very affordable and quite durable; this is a great choice for an outdoorsy man).

Hi Lindi,
Your best bet is to purchase a good leather cleaner and leather conditioner and use first the cleaner and then the conditioner. Be sure to test it out on a small inconspicuous area first to be sure it doesn't discolor the leather. Your other option would be to take the wallet to a shoe repair store. They should offer some restoration services there. Good luck!
