This is the wallet I use and recommend! Order it from First Street through the banner below. It's Item # 01344 at only $29.95.

Rogue Wallet
A unique wallet that was specifically designed to be kept in the front pocket.
They have other versions as well!!
Plus it may save you some future back pain!
-- Andy Gilchrist

From The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes, Wallet Chapter:

Ergonomic fashion fundamental – Two smaller wallets carried one each in the front pockets instead of the rear. It will save back strain and pain. When you sit on a large billfold pressure is placed on your sciatic nerves and muscles. Many back problems have been related to this practice.

There is another advantage to carrying two small billfolds in your front pockets. The first wallet keeps your credit cards, important stuff and some cash. The other has some cash you don’t mind “donating” New York Style to muggers.

I used to own 5 steamers. I just ordered one of these and then immediately ordered a second one!

It's the best steamer I've found. Hold lots of water (tap) and heats up immediately! Doesn't run out of steam and is so much easier to use that those with an attached tank.

-- Andy Gilchrist

Sweaters/Vests

Tommy John just sent me some undershirts from their new Second Skin Collection. They say it’s a functional luxury collection of both underwear (tops and bottoms) and outerwear (casual tops). They are incredibly lightweight and extremely soft. They claim them as the “ultimate undershirt.” I have to agree as Tommy John has the softest shirt I have ever worn!

It includes Tailored Stretch™ technology offering a one of a kind fit technology, which keeps the shirt tucked in. They fit men of all sizes, regardless of body shape, to solve the age old problem of undershirts not staying tucked in. It performs like an undershirt should; doesn’t bunch up, doesn’t ride up, and hugs the body very nicely to ensure it stays tucked in all day.

This is one of the most innovative ideas I’ve seen in a long time and I’m sure you’ll see the line of undershirts in major department stores very soon.

Clothing Care

The Conair DPP300 Palm Press Iron is actually a travel steamer.

This is the best small steamer I've found. It hold lots of water and is the only one I've found that's easy to fill!! The iron shape is handy if you want to use it as a travel or quick iron and the steam is heavy vertically.

You can place a garment on a bed and steam/iron it quickly and efficiently.

This one is available from Amazon.com -- Andy

Here is a recent testimonial about THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MEN'S CLOTHES:

"I received The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes this afternoon, Andy, and it's terrifically useful! Thank you for explaining how to access the various disk components--your instructions helped me to quickly navigate the book.

I particularly like your logical, straightforward approach to each section. I mean to say, it really makes sense to explain why something matters, then how to care for it once you've chosen to incorporate the thing into your life, and then to include a history of the item, which focuses the reader's attention on its intrinsic value to a gentleman's kit.

Your book is more useful than Esquire's Encyclopedia of 20th-Century Men's Fashions, because the latter serves as a chronicle not a guide. The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes provides a road map for fellows who wish to understand the choices they make, and who wish to make choices they understand. I am simply delighted with your book!" -- J. de M. NM
