Want: Baseball Glove Billfold
A must for the Leisured Gentleman.
It’s $348, and Coach is, frankly, ridiculous, but having a wallet that looks and feels like a baseball glove just make sense, dammit.
H/T: It’s a long season.

Where’s a Chinese knockoff when you need one?
I just checked Etsy. “Baseball Glove Billfold” turned up nothing. “Baseball Glove Wallet” turned up something my grandmother would have given me for Christmas back when I was 8. She was an Avon lady.
This is actually really awesome. I’ll have to set up a kickstarter to finance its purchase.
dolla dolla bill yall.
This one is only 30!
Look guy, I’m poor. So what does that mean? It means I spend whatever small amounts of money I have on things that help create an image of me being un-poor (or well-off financially, if you will). This 30 dollar wallet you link? Looks like a poor-persons wallet to me.
I have to agree with Mr. Resolution. That $30 wallet is not the wallet of the Leisured Gentleman.
Reso, you want to split one? I don’t even think you could fit $348 cash into that damn billfold. And who the hell calls it a “billfold” anyway?
I’m not gonna lie – splitting one of these both financially, and physically is an excellent idea. A wallet made of old-styled baseball glove definitely appeals to the Leisured Gentleman and having half of such a wallet should also be able to appeal to hipsters.
You can look at those marks of discoloration on the Coach wallet and practically smell the salty old baseball leather. The $30 wallet still needs to be broken in.
I was also curious as the the type of smell such a wallet would possess.
It smells like baseball. And money. So: It smells like America.
Without a doubt, the more I gaze upon that wallet, the more I want it. In fact, I might like to have that photograph framed and perched upon my office credenza amidst the photos of my family and small cluster of sentimental game-used baseballs.

That bag really nails it’s target market of chubby ex-high school softball player virgins with crushes on Caucasian Texas Rangers players.
