Before the invention of wallets, most men carried their possessions in enormous codpieces—an era of human history famous for its utter absence of pickpockets. Achieve the same results in simpler fashion with today's Groupon: for $50, you get $100 worth of luxury wallets, bags, and menswear at Hlaska. Your Groupon can be redeemed at any of three locations in the Bay Area.

Using science, architecture, and engineering principles as the basis of its designs, Hlaska's hand-stitched, utilitarian accessories are suitable for everyday secret agents. Laptop sleeves ($95), messenger-style bags, and structured portfolio cases ($250) snuggle precious electronic items in sleek cocoons, while Italian leather wallets such as the nominal billfold ($145) include simple thumb cutaways for sliding out IDs and maps of the future. If you prefer to carry your cash in a large sack with a dollar sign on it, you can instead drape your torso in the lightweight and breathable Mariner linen shirt ($95), or slip your walking stilts into chino pants ($95) made from 100% organic cotton. Astronomy-themed extras, such as the telescope tie ($95), will get people's attention at your next NASA interview, particularly if that's the only thing you wear to it.

Hlaska's boutiques honor the company's industrial and scientific roots with lab lamps, exposed pipes, and a giant, copper-plated periodic table of elements on the back wall. Dark wooden beams and display cases add a cozy warmth, while the friendly, knowledgeable staff members can help you look cool to whatever decimal of pi you prefer. Sheathe your laptop in something better than a hobo's bindle with today's Groupon to Hlaska.

Groupon only valid toward Hlaska merchandise; not valid toward shoes, watches, or jewelry.
