Bally man coin holder
Gentleman

Store loose change in a dapper coin holder

A constant battle for the money-carrying gent is the dilemma of what to do with coins following each purchase. Wallets tend to be too slim for a bulky stash of nickel – and often void of zippered compartments to keep them contained – and jangling pockets can ruin the line of pants specifically tailored to sit straight. Perhaps you have a stash of coins building up in your car or a moneybox on the bureau at home as a final resting place for your collection at the end of a day. more

cardholder
Gentleman

Keep your calling cards crisp with a cardholder

First impressions can be key when making new acquaintances, especially of the business nature. So pulling out a business card from a crammed and untidy wallet should be high on your ‘not to do’ lists. Plus, we all know that too many cards and receipts bursting out from our precious handcrafted designer wallet looks terribly untidy – and perhaps reveals too much insight into our home’s level of organisation at the same time. more

men's boots and jeans
Gentleman

Pair boots and jeans to cover cold ankles

Standing at the train station first thing in the morning in the freezing misty air, wearing cuffed jeans and oxfords with a bare ankle is not the most cosy dress option for winter. As you stand chilled to the bone, not even socks could save your toes from numbness. more

shoe horn
Gentleman

Slip shoes on swiftly with a shoe horn

Back in the day, gents knew it took particular tools to assist in getting dressed to an immaculate state each morning. Clothes brushes and lint rollers dutifully hung from wardrobe hooks ready to remove foreign fibres, while hair wax and a swift comb slicked back rogue locks. When it came to footwear, shoe trees held a shoe’s shape while not in use, and shoe polish, polishing cloths and brushes were kept at the ready for a daily morning shine. more

buffed shoe shine
Gentleman

Buffed delivers a shoe shine with heart in Brisbane City

The centuries-old trade of the shoe shiner was a role originally taken to by young boys, often as their first step into the working world. There was once a time when a shoe shiner could be found on every corner, with entire parlours also dedicated to de-scuffing. These days to see a comfortable leather chair set up on a corner with tools of the trade lining the base and a smiley chap awaiting his next nickel would seem an odd sight. more
