6 Reasons You May Consider The Dango DTEX Material
At Dango Products, we love to explore new materials. When it comes to soft-goods, our leather pockets are an essential element to our wallets and they have become a staple material for our brand. However, we have developed an alternative textile called DTEX which has become such a winner in our offerings.
Dango DTEX material is a type of synthetic leather that is made from a polyurethane (PU) base and a microfiber backing. It is designed to mimic the look and feel of genuine leather, while also being more durable and sustainable.
Some potential reasons why someone might choose Dango DTEX material include:
-
A desire for a leather-like look and feel: Dango DTEX material is designed to look and feel like genuine leather, so it can be a good option for those who want the aesthetic appeal of leather without using animal products.
-
Concerns about environmental sustainability: Dango DTEX material is made from a PU base and microfiber backing, which can be produced with fewer resources and lower environmental impact than genuine leather. In addition, the synthetic DTEX material does not use any animal products which is great for those who seek vegan-friendly products!
-
Durability: Dango DTEX material is designed to be more durable than genuine leather, with greater resistance to scratches, stains, and fading.
-
Water Resistance: Dango DTEX material has a waterproof membrane that prevents water from penetrating the fabric. This feature makes it an excellent choice for outdoor gear such as backpacks, tents, and rain jackets.
-
Breathability: Despite being waterproof, Dango DTEX material is breathable, allowing moisture to escape and preventing overheating. This feature is especially important for clothing that is worn during physical activity.
-
Easy to Clean: Dango DTEX material is easy to clean, and dirt and stains can be removed with a simple wipe-down using a damp cloth.
Ultimately, the decision to choose Dango DTEX material or any other material will depend on an individual's specific needs and preferences. It's important to consider factors like durability, sustainability, aesthetics, and price when making a decision about which material to use. Below are some of Dango Product's most popular products that are offered in DTEX:
The most unique accessories for wallets
A history of wallets
Wallets have been an essential accessory for people for centuries. The history of wallets dates back to ancient times when people used simple pouches made of animal skins to carry their valuable belongings. Over time, wallets have become more sophisticated, with various materials, designs, and features.
In the 18th century, men's wallets became more popular, and they were designed to be carried in a pocket. These wallets were made of leather and had several compartments for coins, paper money, and other small items. Women also used wallets, but they were typically carried in a purse or handbag.
The 19th century saw the development of wallets with more complex designs. These wallets were often made of materials such as silk or velvet and had elaborate embroidery and beadwork. In the early 20th century, wallets were made with metal frames and were often decorated with leather or fabric covers.
During the mid-20th century, wallets became more functional and practical, with the introduction of the bi-fold and tri-fold wallet designs. These wallets had multiple compartments for credit cards, identification, and cash. The development of plastic credit cards in the 1950s and 1960s also led to the creation of specialized wallets designed to hold these cards.
In recent years, minimalist wallets have become increasingly popular. These wallets are designed to be small, lightweight, and functional. They often have a simple design with few compartments and are made of materials such as leather or nylon.
Wallets and their accessories
As wallets have evolved over time, so too have the accompanying accessories. From coin purses to keychains, these accessories have become an integral part of our daily lives.
Coin purses have been around for centuries, originally used to carry small items such as coins and needles. They were typically made of leather or fabric and often had a drawstring or snap closure. Today, coin purses are often incorporated into modern wallet designs, with a separate compartment or zippered pocket for coins.
Money clips were introduced in the early 20th century to carry cash without the bulk of a traditional wallet. These simple devices were often made of precious metals and could hold a small amount of folded cash. Today, money clips are still popular, often combined with cardholders or incorporated into slim wallet designs.
Keychains are another popular accessory for wallets. They allow us to keep our keys organized and easily accessible. Keychains have existed for centuries, but the modern keychain was first introduced in the early 20th century. Today, keychains are often incorporated into wallet designs, with a separate loop or compartment for keys.

Three Reasons To Choose a Minimalist Leather Wallet
The history of leather wallets dates back to the early days of human civilization. In ancient times, people used leather pouches or bags to carry their belongings, including coins, food, and other small items. These pouches were often made of animal hides tied to a belt or hung from a cord around the waist.
Over time, leather wallets evolved to become more sophisticated and functional. During the Middle Ages, leather craftsmen began to create wallets with multiple compartments for holding coins, bills, and other important documents. These wallets were often decorated with intricate designs and symbols and were considered a status symbol among the wealthy and elite.
In the 19th century, mass production techniques allowed leather wallets to become more widely available and affordable. Men's wallets in particular, became popular during this time, as the rise of industrialization and urbanization created a need for a portable and convenient way to carry money and other essentials.
Today, leather wallets remain a popular accessory for both men and women. They come in various styles and designs, from classic billfolds to modern minimalist wallets, and are available in various colors and finishes. While synthetic materials are also used to make wallets, leather remains a top choice for its durability, style, and timeless appeal.
Why do people choose minimalist leather wallets?
- Durability: Minimalist leather wallets are made to survive everyday use and to be scratch- and damage-resistant. This implies that your wallet won't deteriorate over time even if you use it frequently.
- Functionality: A minimalist wallet is designed to hold only the essentials, which makes it a highly functional and practical accessory. It typically has space for a few cards and cash, making it slim and easy to carry. The metal and leather construction also ensures that your cards and cash are safe and secure.
- Style: They have a sleek and modern look that is perfect for anyone who wants to make a statement with their accessories. They are available in a variety of colors and finishes, so you can choose one that complements your personal style. Leather also ages well, and patinas over time, giving your wallet a beautiful distressed look. Additionally, the combination of metal and leather creates a unique texture that adds to the wallet's overall appeal.
Tips for cleaning a leather wallet
- Remove loose dirt or debris from the wallet by wiping it down with a dry, soft cloth.
- Dampen a clean cloth with lukewarm water and wring out any excess. Gently wipe down the leather surface of the wallet to remove any remaining dirt or stains.
- Apply a small amount of leather cleaner or conditioner to another clean cloth. Rub the cleaner or conditioner into the leather surface of the wallet in a circular motion, covering the entire area.
- Let the wallet dry completely for at least 15-20 minutes. Avoid using a hairdryer or placing the wallet in direct sunlight to dry, as this can damage the leather.
- Once the wallet is dry, buff it with a soft, dry cloth to restore its shine and texture. Repeat the cleaning process to keep your minimalist leather wallet looking clean and fresh.
Leather Accessories for your Dango wallets

The top 5 ways the 550 Paracord can be used during emergencies
The History of Paracords
Why are 550 Paracords useful in emergency situations?

Paracords Offered at Dango Products At Dango Products, we offer various paracord accessories such as the Dango Tether to not only keep your Dango Wallet and other EDC secure but also unravel them for emergency usages.

The 550 Dango Tether is woven in a cobra weave and equipped with a strong metal clasp to keep your items tethered which will work great with other Dango products and all your EDC gear.

The A10 Adapt Wallet Transforms
THE DANGO PRODUCTS A10 ADAPT WALLET CAN TRANSFORM TO MEET YOUR EVERYDAY-CARRY NEEDS
You can change its capacity and functionality in seconds.
There are a lot of cool things out there that make us wonder — do they really work? In our I Tried It series, we set out to use them in the real world and have determined that, in fact, they really do.
On Trial: Dango Products A-Series Adapt Wallet with Modular Design
The Tester: Stefan Vazharov — a senior tech editor obsessed with pocket-friendly gadgets
The Brief: This cool and durable wallet by Dango Products can instantly transform to meet your exact needs.
Wallets are typically not designed with change in mind. They stay as-is, even though one’s needs might fluctuate on a daily (or hourly) basis. That’s why when Dango Products — a California-based maker of everyday-carry accessories that I’ve been following since its Kickstarter inception in 2015 — launched a wallet with modular design, I was thrilled to give it a try.
The A-Series Adapt wallets by Dango Products definitely live up to their name. Depending on your needs, every wallet can instantly transform from a minimalist, all-metal card holder to an elaborate bifold with a host of optional accessories. Like all of the brand’s wallets, the A10 Adapt style has a design that's both cool and utilitarian in equal measure.
Dango Products has accomplished this feat by equipping the aluminum chassis of the A10 Adapt with a clever rail mechanism, which allows users to instantly add on a single or a bifold pocket to expand the wallet's capacity. The process takes seconds, and it doesn’t require any tools.
Starting at $79, the Dango Products A10 Adapt without a pocket adapter is as spartan as a wallet can be. It is machined from aerospace-grade aluminum, and it has space for up to five cards — enough to carry just the essentials.
A quartet of cards have RFID protection via a removable aluminum plate. The fifth slot is ideal for storing cards used for quick scanning (making it great for office IDs).
The single pocket adapter can expand the capacity of the A10 Adapt wallet to a total of seven cards. The bifold adapter, on the other hand, holds up to nine cards for a maximum total of 13. Both accessories are crafted from a durable DTEX material, and they attach to the wallet’s metal chassis via a sturdy polycarbonate sliding plate, using the fifth
And then there are all the additional accessories for the A10 Adapt. Depending on your needs, you can deck out the wallet with a pocket clip, a paracord tether, or an awesome metal pen with a notepad, among many others. The last two bits are sold alongside a bifold pocket adapter. All of the brand's wallets are made in the United States and are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Closing Argument: I enjoyed using the pared-down A10 Adapt Wallet without its adapter during my daily walks and while running errands. Its single pocket adapter came in handy during several trips with a rental car, while the bifold adapter with the pen and the notepad were useful during outdoor virtual meetings and telehealth appointments — these accessories were also great for jotting down ideas on the go, bringing back memories of times with fewer screens.
Dango Products is the maker of one of our favorite tactical wallets, and the A10 Adapt is an excellent addition to the brand’s impressive lineup. Part cool gadget and part essential everyday-carry accessory, this wallet is convenient, fun, and totally worth it.
Dango Spec-Ops Edition
At Dango Products, we are supporters of first responders who risk their lives everyday to help make our society a safer place. This includes the military, law enforcement, firefighters, and medical personnel. We wanted to make a product that was catered to these first responders which have a familiar aesthetic that would fit their lifestyle as well as offer the kind of function that can be used when needed. As the founders of Dango Products, We are proud to share the story of how our Spec-Ops edition wallets were created through the inspiration of military aesthetics. Since the beginning, we have had a passion for creating unique, innovative products that both look good and serve a purpose. As a team, we were always interested in both futurism and tactical aesthetic, but wanted to create something that was more than just a fashion statement. That’s when the idea for our Spec-Ops Edition wallets was born. We wanted to create a modern and stylish wallet that was inspired by military and tactical firearms. We took the time to do our research and look at various military designs and materials to create something that was not only stylish but also highly functional that would prep an individual in emergency situations.
Dango spec-ops wallets provide users with a great balance of form and function. The combination of their tactical design, durability, and convenience make them ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle and need a wallet that can keep up with them. With features like RFID blocking, multiple carrying and mounting options, and a sleek, modern look, these wallets truly encapsulate the tactical lifestyle.
