- Leather Bifold Wallet <https://lotuffleather.com/collections/leather-accessories/products/leather-bifold-wallet>
We have been using their traditional Bifold Wallet non-stop for nearly a decade, yet it barely shows any wear. (And that is despite having gone through the wash twice. My fault!)
But for those with slighter needs, Lotuff offers two credit card wallets, also perfect for Fathers' Day.

Lotuff's 929 Briefcase - Made in New England
Photo by Salt Water New England |
In their sumptuous 929 Briefcase, Lotuff Leather has successfully created an everything bag. Made of their celebrated hand-selected vegetable-tanned leather, it is a briefcase for those not wanting a briefcase; a pocketbook for those not wanting a pocketbook. Due to its well designed top, it is very easy to use with a generous opening.
It shifts easily between men and women, and I have been experimenting with using it for all of my daily activities, and have not hit a problem yet. I like the feel of it under-filled, as a pocketbook replacement, but it bulks up beautifully to tote a lot more when needed.
Those who want their bags to be structured and stand up on their own are in luck. And those who like the feel of soft, pliable leather are also in luck. It is both.
The pockets inside handle a couple of pens, a phone, and sunglasses on one side, and a bigger item such as an iPad or laptop on the other. It is also perfect for business meetings or as a carry-on for cross country trips.
I truly love this bag.

The Grenfell Shooting Coat
Photos by Salt Water New England |
The Grenfell Shooting Coat - Made in London - fills the gap between winter and summer, between thick tweed coats and windbreakers. Made of iconic Grenfell Cloth—with tightly woven 600 thread-per-inch long staple Egyptian cotton twill—the coat is naturally water resistant while remaining breathable.
It also brings an unmistakable presence.
The Grenfell Shooting Coat has been relied upon by countless soldiers, sportsmen, and London commuters for protection from the elements over the decades. This coat has a simple practical design with a relentless attention to detail, including real horn buttons, removeable game pocket, and a rich color often described as iridescent green. And it uses its combination of outer layer, lining, and knit cuffs in concert to achieve a surprisingly secure while ventilated fit.
Said one reader:
The Grenfell jacket is an excellent piece of kit. I own one and wear it most days The cloth developed for Sir Wilfred Grenfell when he was in Labrador now very useful for walking mine. Grenfell may have died in Vermont but was born in a village less than 8 miles from where l live and the next village on from where Lady Hamilton of Lord Nelson fame came from.
