The Men's Wallet

In the tradition of exacting Japanese craftsmanship, The Real McCoy’s renders the everyday object extraordinary. Cut from Shinki Hikaku horsehide — the most revered tannery in Japan — this wallet carries within its grain the patient labor of time. The leather, known for its density and subtle sheen, darkens and softens as it records the touch of its owner, becoming less an accessory than a companion.

Its minimalist form, discreetly structured with multiple card slots, reflects a discipline of design where nothing is superfluous. This piece earns its place as a Black Essential not only for its rare materiality and meticulous construction, but because it insists that utility can be beautiful, and that beauty, in turn, must endure.
