A good outfit is usually decided by the details. The belt that matches the shoes, the wallet that does not bulge in your pocket, the socks that stay up through a long day. None of it announces itself, and all of it shows. Here is a look at the accessories we make, and the thinking behind them.
The Modern Insole: height for the shoes you already own
Not every pair in your closet needs replacing. The Modern Insole adds a discreet boost - up to about an inch and a half depending on the option you choose - to shoes you already wear and like.
It sits under the heel and stays out of sight, which makes it a simple way to add a little height to a favorite pair, or to try the feel of a boost before committing to a new style. Two lift options and a choice of heel or full-length mean you can match it to the shoe. It is the most affordable thing we make, and for a lot of men it is the first thing they try.
Leather goods: the everyday carry
The things you reach for every day are worth getting right, and the case for each of ours is simplicity.
The Modern Cardholder is for men who have realized they carry six cards and no cash. Ultra-thin, it holds the essentials without reshaping your pocket, and it comes in five colors so it can match whatever else you carry.
The Modern Wallet is the traditional option, kept deliberately trim. It has the room you actually use and nothing you do not, in black, brown, or khaki.
The Modern Briefcase is the one that finishes a professional look. It carries a laptop and your essentials for the office, the commute, or a work trip, and it reads polished set down beside you in a meeting.
Belts: the detail people notice without noticing
A belt is a small thing that quietly holds an outfit together, and the rule is easy: match the belt to the shoes. Brown with brown, black with black.
The Modern Belt is the sleek, versatile option that moves between business and casual. The Classic Belt leans traditional, for the days that call for something a little more formal. Both come in a wide range of sizes and in the same neutral tones as our footwear, so pairing them is straightforward.
Socks: the part nobody thinks about until it matters
Socks are the accessory most men underestimate, and the one most likely to ruin a long day. We make four, each for a different situation.
- The Essential Dress Sock and The Presidential Dress Sock for formal and business days, in sets that cover a full week.
- The Performance Sock for active days and long stretches on your feet.
- The Comfort Sock for everyday wear, in a set of five.
Worth knowing: socks and insoles are not eligible for exchange or return, so it is worth picking the set that matches how you will actually use them.
Why ours are worth a look
We approach accessories the same way we approach footwear. A few ideas run through all of it:
- Restraint over flash. Clean lines, neutral colors, and nothing shouting for attention. These are pieces meant to fit into what you already wear.
- A palette that matches. Our accessories share the same neutral tones as our shoes, so a belt, a wallet, and a pair of shoes look intentional together rather than assembled by accident.
- Everyday usefulness. Each piece is built around what men actually reach for daily, not a longer feature list.
- Straightforward service. The same responsive support that backs our footwear applies to everything else we make.
Building a complete look
If you are starting from scratch, the order is simple. Begin with the shoes, then match the belt to them. Add a slim wallet or cardholder in a tone that works with both. Keep socks stocked so you are never reaching for the wrong pair. And if you want a little more height in shoes you already own, the insole is the easiest place to start.

Frequently asked questions
How much height does the Modern Insole add?
It offers a discreet boost of up to about an inch and a half, depending on which option you choose. The exact range for each is listed on the product page.
Can I use the insole in shoes I already own?
Yes. That is the point of it - it adds a discreet boost to pairs you already wear, and it comes in heel and full-length options.
Should my belt match my shoes?
Generally, yes. Brown with brown and black with black is the simplest rule and it holds nearly everywhere.
What is the difference between the wallet and the cardholder?
The cardholder is ultra-thin for men who carry only cards. The wallet is the more traditional option with a little more room.
Can socks and insoles be returned?
No. Socks and insoles are not eligible for exchange or return, so choose the option that suits how you will use them.
