Men’s Style

So, why did I decide to put together a Bellroy Hide and Seek review? Well…

One of the first wallets I ever received was a black zip up wallet – probably made from rat leather – and even at the ripe old age of 11, I knew that the wallet was junk.

What makes this event memorable for me is that my uncle tucked a $10 bill into the billfold. The money itself was great, but it also made me realize just how important wallets are. They help us carry around our money – our means of purchasing important things like beer on a hot summer day. They hold our ID – the proof that we’re over 19 and can legally purchase that delicious beer. Perhaps most importantly though, is that wallets reflect who we are. It’s a well know fact that I’m an incredibly awesome person, and I want my wallet to show that off as well. That’s why I was so excited when one of my readers showed me a company called Bellroy.

Bellroy is an Australia wallet manufacturer that’s unique in that they produce wallets that don’t suck. Their wallets are not only beautiful, but extremely functional as well. In the case of the Hide and Seek wallet, you can even stash away items in the wallets secret compartments. Honestly, who doesn’t like secret compartments?

Bubble sneakers went out of style back in the nineties, and no sneaker could fill that gap – until now. The new Reebok Ziglite Run are built to look like a zig-zag with new dual-density, lightweight Zig 2.0 bottom technology that aims to improve run ability, cushioning, and flexibility.

HEY- LISTEN. This post is gross. Like, seriously, mind-bendingly, traumatically gross. So if you’re at work or squeamish or put off by small hunks of strange, hairy men, for the love of god: don’t keep reading. If you do, and you see this human skin ring, you might puke. Then the guy in the next cubicle over will come to check on you, and he’ll barf right into your pile. Your attractive coworker will come to tell you both to shut up and spew a graceful fountain as she spins away down the hall, fleeing from the terrible things you have done. And then, before you know it, your whole office will be in Stand By Me mode, and everyone will be vomiting up their brown bag lunches all over this quarter’s big project- a complete and total barf-o-rama.

Seriously- there’s no blood or gore, but this is pretty damn gross. Designer Sruli Recht cut out a strip of his own skin, tanned it, and made a ring out of it. Yeah, I don’t know either. If you think you can hold on to your lunch, hit the jump.
