Carry a multitool, they say. Be ready for anything. Sure, that applies when your job takes you “out in the field.” But for the average office worker, a beefy multitool on your hip is more of a warning sign to others than anything else.
What that guy needs is something more discreet, which gear company Dango offers in the form of their handsome tactical wallets. Those words are chosen carefully, because while the word “tactical” gets thrown around willy nilly these days, Dango’s lineup combines mil-spec construction with tools that you’ll find yourself reaching for often (wrenches, knives, rulers, etc.). And where many tactical wallets resort to camo and other tacky designs, they use top-grain leather in classic colorways.
Below, you’ll find something for everyone, whether you’re looking for as many tools as possible or simply some RFID blocking (which all of them include, and you’d do well to have if your cards use contactless payment). And as an added bonus, they’re all made in the U.S.
