Egoist

What size Egoist bracelet should I order?

Size M (medium) is the most popular size for men and fits most standard wrists. Sizes available are S (smaller wrists, also fits most women), M (most men), L (larger wrists) and XL for big guys . Wrap a tape measure around your wrist and match the result to the size chart on the product page.

What makes Egoist a two-strap bracelet?

Each Egoist piece uses two parallel leather straps locked side by side through the same shackle hardware. The double-strap construction adds visual width and presence to the wrist compared to a single leather panel - it reads as more deliberate and structured. Same leather quality, more wrist coverage.

Can I customize the shackle on my Egoist bracelet?

Yes. Swap the default D-type shackle for an O-type or C-type shape in three finishes (black ion-plated, polished silver, or gold) through the bracelet-parts collection. That gives you nine total hardware combinations on a single Egoist leather band - the same customization system as Fortune and Nautical.

Can I shower or swim with an Egoist bracelet?

No. The 316L steel shackle is fully waterproof, but genuine leather warps, stains, and loses shape with water exposure. Take Egoist off before showering, swimming, or extended sweat exposure. With basic dry care, a leather bracelet holds its shape and character for years.

What colors does Egoist come in?

Core colors are Black and Dark Brown - the two most versatile leather tones for daily wear. Tan Brown offers a lighter, warmer alternative. Black & Red adds a contrast accent thread for a bolder look. All colorways use the same two-strap construction and interchangeable shackle system.

Is Egoist hypoallergenic?

Yes. The 316L surgical stainless steel shackle is medical-grade alloy, nickel-free and copper-free, with no green-wrist reaction. The genuine leather straps are also skin-safe for daily wear, suitable for users with sensitive skin or metal allergies.

Will the leather develop a patina?

Yes. Genuine leather softens and deepens in tone with daily wear, developing a personal character over months of use. Dark brown Egoist in particular looks better at six months than it does on day one. Keep the leather dry and apply cologne before putting the bracelet on - not after.

How do I open and close the shackle?

Unscrew the pin counterclockwise to open the shackle. Slide the bracelet on, line up the holes, and screw the pin back in clockwise until secure. The pin is captive - it will not fall out while you are putting the bracelet on.

What outfits does Egoist work with?

Black Egoist with a silver shackle is a clean everyday pick - jeans, white tee, boots, leather jacket. Dark brown with a gold shackle reads warmer and pairs well with earth tones and casual office looks. The two-strap profile is wide enough to make a point without needing anything else on the wrist.

Which Egoist should I buy first?

Egoist Black with a silver D-shackle is the safest starting point - the most versatile combination in the collection and the top bestseller. Go dark brown if your wardrobe runs warm. Add a gold or black shackle swap from the bracelet-parts collection if you want a second look from the same band.
