Engraved Wallets for Men: 6 Ways to Personalize a Leather Wallet

Personalized items show that you’ve thought about your loved one. It’s a keepsake they will keep around and it’s something that will remind them of you.

What you get engraved is up to you, your recipients’ style, and the relationship you share.

Stumped on what to engrave? Let's dive right.

Dates hold special significance which may be known only to you and the person receiving the gift.

For a child, a birthday may be the perfect date to place on their wallet, showing how special it was when they came into the world.

For a husband, it may be more appropriate to engrave your wedding day, the day you met, or the day you first brought a child into the world.

Maybe you might have a special place in mind?

• Where you first met your significant other
• Where you had your first date
• Your favorite vacation destination

A lot of our customers will take their favorite location or address, convert it into latitude and longitude coordinates and we'll engrave that for them.

What do you think looks better?

41° 56' 12.804'' N 87° 43' 35.868''

or

The Pizza Hut on 3045 N Pulaski Rd in Chicago.

If you're wondering how you can get latitude and longitude coordinates, it's pretty easy. Just use a website like latlong.net. Or use the iPhone app called What3Words which is even more accurate (and memorable!)

Want a little something engraved on your wallet that reminds you to save your hard-earned dollars? How about something that inspires and keeps you on the track to greatness?

We see a lot of wallets come through our shop with an inspirational message.

Imagine being inspired every time you pull out your wallet to pay for something. These quotes about success are some of the favorites that we've seen on our leather goods.

A lot of people (myself included) just aren't cut out for this kind of stuff. But sentimental, romantic engravings can be cherished by our better halves. If you're giving a wallet as a gift to your loved one, chances are you want it to be unique.

I'm terrible at this kind of stuff, so I had a little help from our customers. Use the list below if you need some inspiration (feel free to use them!)

Apart from figuring out what to put on your wallet, there are different types of engraving that can be added to a leather wallet. We’ve experimented with a lot of different techniques before finally settling on two methods that work the best: Heavy brass stamping and Laser Engraving.

Check out the differences and be your own judge.

This is the type of engraving popular with DIY folks. Grab a craft knife and slowly carve a specific engraving. The effects are permanent, but there will be some fading depending on how the leather heals itself. Looks terrible and unprofessional (unless you’re a very steady hand).

Scratches are great for patina, but not so much for personalization.

When it comes right down to giving a personalized leather gift, you have a lot of options. Here are some items that we make right here in our workshop that would be perfect for gifts. 

Each item can be engraved by us and lasts a lifetime.
