Is it safe for someone with an implanted medical device to wear a card wallet or small bag around their neck or across their chest?

Card cases, wallets, and small bags containing magnets can affect implanted medical devices such as pacemakers, so they should not be placed close to them.

Among meanswhile accessories, there are items with straps designed to be worn around the neck or slung across the chest. Card cases, wallets, and micro bags with straps are representative examples. They are made with magnets inside the flap or opening for easy opening and closing, and the magnetic field generated by these magnets may cause interference with medical devices such as implanted pacemakers.

What role does the finish that leaves the edges unstitched serve?

It is a hygienic finish that helps moisture dry quickly and prevents dirt from easily getting caught by not having a folded and stitched hem.

It is 33g. It is light enough that you hardly feel any weight even when placed on your palm, and it folds thinly, so there is no burden of bulk when carrying it in a pocket or bag space. Tenugui refers to a traditional towel where the ends of a narrow, long cotton fabric were cut and used without stitching.

What role does the spring opening used instead of a zipper play in the coin compartment of the money clip?

It prevents the thickness from increasing due to zipper or button parts, maintaining a form thin enough to fit neatly into a chest pocket.

Although it is equipped with both four card pockets and a coin compartment, its thickness is a mere 1cm. meanswhile shaved down the leather thinly to reduce volume so that it fits comfortably into the chest pocket of a shirt or outerwear. To maintain a thin thickness within dimensions of 8.5cm in height and 11cm in width, a spring opening was fitted into the coin compartment as well instead of a zipper.
