all right guys I have reviewed uh 40
0:03
something wallets at this point and I
0:05
have to say it's not often once I move
0:08
on from reviewing a wallet that I come
0:10
back to it there's actually very few
0:12
wallets that I do that with however I
0:14
have to say this wallet right here this
0:16
is the Double Oak Cloud wallet is an
0:19
exception to that now I have reviewed
0:22
quite a few of double Oak's products in
0:24
the past uh in including their ejector
0:26
style wallet that was a byold style and
0:29
then they also did have the slim wallet
0:31
and back then I was actually just an
0:33
affiliate for them however recently I
0:35
reached out to them Andy and asked hey I
0:37
want to start selling your guys'
0:39
products I really really believe in them
0:41
I'd love to be able to sell them as well
0:43
and they had already given me this
0:44
wallet before that uh and I've just been
0:46
really really impressed with them so I
0:48
am actually now a retailer of doble Oak
0:50
products so make sure to check it out if
0:52
you wanted to look at the link down in
0:54
the description in the top comment you
0:56
can actually purchase this wallet cuz I
0:58
actually do fully believe in it and I'm
1:00
willing to back it with my own guarantee
1:02
so that's pretty cool but I'll be honest
1:04
it doesn't really sway my opinion on
1:06
these kind of wallets because I don't
1:08
just sell any product in fact I actually
1:10
just turned down another wallet that I'm
1:12
really not going to do a video about
1:13
because I don't think it's worthwhile
1:15
but I do turn wallets and products down
1:17
for my shop so anyways I don't want to
1:19
get too far off on that tangent we're
1:21
going to talk today about the double O
1:23
Cloud wallet what I like what I don't
1:25
like and exactly who it's for so let's
1:27
get right into it but first let's talk
1:29
about what what it is now this is a kind
1:31
of a leather bfold minimalist wallet as
1:34
you can see here it is full grain
1:36
leather it's kind of the very soft
1:38
feeling full grain that you can kind of
1:40
get immediately scratches in it if you
1:42
do that that's really nice cuz it
1:43
patinas really really well uh all of
1:45
double Oaks wallets are that way and I I
1:47
actually that's one of my favorite
1:48
things about them because they are just
1:50
so so incredibly soft uh it feels really
1:53
really nice in the hands and it's one of
1:54
the things that just really really draws
1:56
me to these wallets and is actually one
1:58
of the reasons why I've been kind of
2:00
turned away from using a lot of metal
2:01
wallets recently is because Double Oak
2:03
has just been kicking out some really
2:05
really cool products as for capacity you
2:08
have it's so again it's the Bold like
2:10
this so you have uh two cards you can go
2:13
right here you have a card on the back
2:14
here you actually have a really cool
2:16
flap here that you can fold forward
2:18
that's where you put your cach and then
2:20
there's a little hidden kind of
2:21
compartment there and then underneath of
2:24
here you have another compartment that
2:25
you can pull that Tab and two cards can
2:28
fit in there pretty well so you're
2:29
looking at 1 2 3 4 five around six cards
2:34
you might be able to fit a third card in
2:35
there but it wouldn't be super
2:37
comfortable it is a magnetic closure so
2:39
you basically have that you have a
2:40
little magnets you can see the little
2:42
round pieces right there they kind of
2:44
magnetize it Clos and it's nice because
2:45
it keeps it closed just enough uh but it
2:48
makes it so it doesn't open up on its
2:50
own and I don't want to get too far into
2:52
the specs on this because I want to get
2:53
into what I like and what I don't like
2:54
and also not repeat myself as I do it so
2:57
let's go ahead and get into what I do do
3:00
like about this wallet number one is the
3:02
full grain leather I already talked
3:04
about it I really really like their full
3:06
grain leather I there's a bunch of
3:08
different types of full grain leather
3:10
out there they're all really really high
3:11
quality some don't feel the same they're
3:13
a little bit more kind of a slick feel
3:15
whereas the Double Oak uses a little bit
3:17
more of a very very very soft kind of
3:21
plush leather and it feels really nice
3:23
and soft in the hand and I really
3:24
appreciate that these do patina really
3:26
well you can see mine is kind of
3:28
starting to I think I've been using this
3:30
probably a month or so I'd say maybe and
3:33
uh it's starting to kind of you know get
3:35
a lot of those scratches you can see
3:36
those scratches all in put them in there
3:38
right now um and those start to kind of
3:40
fade and look really really nice and it
3:42
start to kind of get a little bit of a
3:44
shine to them but it's never going to be
3:45
quite as shiny as a lot of the other
3:46
wallets the next thing I really like is
3:48
how thin it is for being a leather
3:49
wallet that's always been kind of one of
3:51
my biggest issues with a lot of these
3:53
wallets is they're just too thick when
3:55
they're a bold or a trifold wallet and I
3:57
think that they have done a really
3:59
really good job of keeping these wallets
4:01
incredibly thin uh let's see here's
4:04
actually one of their uh their ejector
4:06
style wallets you can see it's actually
4:08
thinner than their ejector style wallets
4:11
um and I have to say it stays pretty
4:13
thin as long as you keep it within its
4:16
capacity that's meant to have you
4:17
shouldn't run into it being really any
4:19
thicker than this number three thing
4:21
that I really like is ease of access to
4:24
cards I have been super super impressed
4:27
with it now I've used a lot of different
4:28
types of wallets out there that that are
4:29
meant to be really really compact I'm
4:32
thinking things like Ridge wallet which
4:33
are fantastic wallets however the thing
4:35
they have issues with is layout of those
4:38
cards a lot of those cards are actually
4:39
difficult to get to and I have to say
4:41
that is not the case with this so it is
4:43
a bold you have a easy access card
4:45
holder right there and you can kind of
4:47
keep cash in there that is not the
4:49
easiest place that is this it's just a
4:51
quick open and you have access to these
4:54
two cards right here I keep my driver's
4:56
license here and I keep my kind of main
4:58
debit card in here and then back here
5:01
you have your own little card here I
5:03
keep like a gift card for coffee right
5:05
there and then of course your cash uh
5:06
and then I use my really lesser used
5:08
cards right here and it is nice as pull
5:10
tabs they not too far away uh but it's
5:13
just they divvy up all the different
5:15
locations of the card which makes it
5:16
really easy from just kind of muscle
5:18
memory to you get really any card you
5:20
need in the wallet the next thing I like
5:22
is that pull tab um lot of minimalist
5:24
wallets out there do struggle with
5:26
getting your lesser used cards and I
5:27
have to say that pull tab is really nice
5:29
I've seen this on a lot of other wallets
5:31
uh I think like the belroy slim sleeve
5:33
has this a couple other brands have that
5:35
so it's not like proprietary to Double
5:37
Oak but I think it's a really good usage
5:39
to get to those lesser used cards back
5:41
there I'm pretty impressed by that the
5:43
next thing I appreciate is that magnet
5:45
now there are some companies that take
5:46
magnets to a pretty big extreme and this
5:48
is not one of them it has a super super
5:50
simple magnetic closure you can see
5:52
right there and right there and you can
5:54
kind of
5:54
hear it kind of clicks just a little bit
5:57
but you can see it's really easy to open
5:59
it but not too easy I was really
6:03
impressed by that I actually wasn't
6:04
expecting it I'll be honest a lot of
6:05
these products I actually don't dig deep
6:07
into until I start testing them uh brand
6:09
just send them out to me uh and I was
6:12
not expecting that in this wall I've
6:13
never had a bold with a magnet in there
6:15
and I am really really impressed with it
6:18
next thing I like is how little you feel
6:19
it in your pockets some metal wallets a
6:21
lot of leather wallets and just a lot of
6:23
wallets out there in general you feel it
6:25
in your pocket pretty much day in and
6:27
day out and I think it's just because
6:28
everything is for a lack of better way
6:30
of saying it squishy um if it kind of
6:33
molds in your pocket really really well
6:35
it has a good amount of Bend to it and
6:37
so it kind of molds to your leg molds
6:39
around just anything that's in your
6:40
pocket and so I don't really notice it
6:42
throughout the day which is really
6:43
really nice because that's not the case
6:45
with most wallets and for all of those
6:47
that really really care about it for
6:48
some reason I get a lot of comments on
6:50
my videos of people complaining when you
6:52
have to fold cash twice I don't get it
6:55
but I'm going to add it in there you
6:57
only have to fold cash once to fit it in
6:59
the cash spot congratulations it's a
7:02
feature you have I don't get it I don't
7:04
really understand why but anyways that's
7:06
your guys proga and so now getting into
7:09
the things that I didn't like about the
7:10
wallet I honestly really really had to
7:13
struggle to figure out what I didn't
7:15
like about cuz honestly this is this is
7:17
genuinely after 40 50 something wallets
7:20
that I've used this is really quickly
7:23
becoming one of my favorites but the one
7:25
thing that I would say I could complain
7:27
about is the lack of storage for items
7:30
that aren't cash or cards now I
7:32
understand minimalist wallets are meant
7:33
to really only keep those two things
7:36
that's the whole purpose of them but
7:38
when it's things like gym cards like
7:39
there's you know those little tiny gym
7:41
cards that just this little compact
7:42
thing there's no really good place to
7:45
keep them in this wallet and I really
7:47
dislike keeping those on my keychain it
7:49
really bulks up your pocket a lot and so
7:51
what I was doing is I was keeping it
7:53
back so there's this cash and then that
7:55
folds forward and then there's this
7:56
little hidden Pocket I was keeping them
7:57
in there but it does make it a little
8:00
more difficult to get in you kind of
8:01
have to pry it out um I wish there was a
8:03
better storage maybe just a little
8:05
little tiny pouch that you could fit
8:06
those kind of things into for easy
8:08
access but that's the one major thing
8:10
that I didn't really like about this
8:12
wallet and that's about it so who is
8:14
this wallet for it is for somebody that
8:17
is wanting to keep the bfold feel of a
8:21
wallet and they want it to be soft they
8:23
don't want to feel it in their pockets
8:25
uh but they're not wanting to go to like
8:26
an ejector style wallet I really do like
8:28
ejector Style wallets I've used a ton of
8:30
them I'm a huge fan of them I have no
8:32
problem with them but if you're wanting
8:33
to stick to a bfold wallet but move it
8:36
into your front pocket instead of having
8:38
in your back pocket this might be one of
8:41
the best options I've ever used again I
8:43
keep coming back to this thing uh I
8:45
moved on to another wallet that I was
8:47
testing and moved right back to this one
8:49
as my daily driver and I'm pretty
8:50
impressed with it so again I do now
8:52
carry this wallet if you guys want to
8:54
make a purchase of this I do have it on
8:55
