For a man who dressed as boring as me, I am strangely attracted to this double sided scarf. What do you think of this ?

not sure if this goes here, but I didnt want to start a new thread just for my question.

What do you guys think about the following, I plan to use them to carry 2 credit cards and 2 Ids. I know that one is a card case and not intended for credit cards, but does it really matter?

I dont like wallets because they give me a one inch raise, so that is not an option.

I like the second one and then the third the most.

I like the scarf. It doesn't wow me because of the brown but it's different and I can see it working in some instances. It might just what a conservative dresser needs to push the boundaries ever so slightly.

Go for the Brioni, hands down. The Burberry is maybe too styling and obvious Burberry. Brioni is classic and understated.

I've always debated between a card case and wallet. My latest foray has been back into wallets, but again the 1" raise is a literal pain in the butt. If I wore suits all the time a breast wallet might work better, but that's not practical for me.

Anyway a card case is a happy medium, and I think it looks cool to carry a bit of cash loose like.

#2 Sportcoat. Grey is way more versatile than brown.

thanks for the reply, I think that is what I am going to go with. I like the Burberry one but as you said it seems too much of a cry for attention. I currently have a Polo RL check card holder and it works just fine but I am hoping that the Brioni one feels better. I am hoping that it does because there is a huge price difference between the two. I considered the crocodile one as well, but from the little that I have read, I realized that it is not rare crocodile skin and that would defeat the purpose in my opinion.

Really ? A lot of people would strongly disagree with your assertion. There was a big debate over this but I can't find the thad right now
