Getting To Know the Cool Features of a Tyvek Wallet

It was in 1955 when a DuPont researcher first discovered the material used in making Tyvek wallets. Jim White noticed a web of stringy fiber jutting out from a pipe used for moving polyethylene polymers. Upon examining the material, he found that it had elastic characteristics. However, it took DuPont 12 years to refine the material and additional years in research and development to figure out its possible application.

Initially, the nonwoven polyethylene fibers were first made into a book cover and furniture tag. Sometime in 1970, Tyvek protective suits were introduced in the market. Some five years later after that, the Federal Express made Tyvek envelopes, known for their lightweight and durability. Car covers and air and water intrusion barriers were also later produced using Tyvek.

Fashion house Fiorucci created collections that are made from Tyvek in 1976. By 2005, Dynomighty Design made a Tyvek wallet out of a single sheet of Tyvek. Also, American Apparel has included white Tyvek shorts into their collection. Who would have thought the same materials used to produce protective suits and envelopes would eventually turn into highly sought after fashion statements?

In the past, a bulky wallet usually signified the richness and wealth of its owner. Nowadays, however, people would go for thinner and easy-to-carry types of wallet. The Tyvek wallet is a type of wallet that perfectly fits this description. It’s what people want. Wallets made of Tyvek have a paper-like texture, but in reality they are made from long strands of woven plastic fibers which make them very strong yet extremely lightweight. Aside from being durable and light, the Tyvek wallet is also good in terms of protecting the enclosed bills and other items from moisture. They come in various elegant designs which include the Air Mail Par Avion Tyvek mighty wallet, Cyber mighty wallet, Classic Black Tyvek mighty wallet, Dinero mighty billfold wallet, and Black Plaid Tyvek Mighty Wallet, just to name a few.

With the wallet’s cool design and features, it is without a doubt a must-have accessory and a perfect gift or present for the contemporary gentlemen. Here are also some of the notable features of this type of wallet that every shopper should know:

  1. The wallet may appear very slim but when bills and other items such as cards are placed inside, it will expand in size. The material used for the wallet is designed to expand but will not tear.
  2. The wallet is designed for privacy. It has interior pockets where one can place contents to keep them away from prying eyes.
  3. It is an eco-friendly type of wallet since the material being used is a grade 2 recyclable HDPE and is made from 25% recycled content.
  4. Tyvek’s weight is half of that of a paper’s weight but is very tear-resistant.

Buyers interested in a Tyvek wallet can be sure that there’s always a unique design that is perfectly suitable for their taste and also fashionable enough to garner plenty of compliments.
