How to Buy Leather as a Gift
Unsized, unmonogrammed and universally useful — the rules for gifting leather without knowing measurements.
Leather makes an excellent gift and a risky one. The difference is sizing.
Avoid anything sized
Belts and shoes require measurements. Wallets, card holders, passport covers and key holders do not.
Delay monogramming
Personalisation removes the return option; offer it as a voucher instead.
Choose mid-tone leather
Cognac and dark brown suit more wardrobes than black or pale natural.
