hey everybody Adam here and today we're
0:02
going to be checking out the Double Oak
0:04
Iceberg Edition wallet and they gifted
0:08
this to me to review I don't have a ton
0:10
of experience with wallets uh but this
0:13
is probably one of the nicer luxury
0:16
wallet ejector style that we've had so
0:19
they were kind enough to gift it to me
0:21
and uh let's get into what I like and
0:24
don't like so this is the Double Oak
0:27
Iceberg Edition this is their full uh
0:30
their full wallet has the uh full
0:33
exterior made of leather it has the
0:36
interior flap here for cards or cash has
0:40
this kind of hidden uh pocket up here
0:42
for cash as well and then a final
0:46
exterior pocket for any kind of quick
0:48
access cards we also have the metal
0:53
interior where you would store your
0:54
cards this has the capacity to hold
0:57
seven cards if they are the flat type
1:00
not the Deep emboss style and it is a
1:04
wonderful wallet I've really enjoyed it
1:07
um the most epic thing they they did is
1:10
this right here so they actually made
1:11
this a two-piece kind of system and this
1:15
is a MAG safe card holder so you can
1:19
literally take your phone and put it
1:22
right on aderes right to the back super
1:24
sturdy not coming off of there and that
1:27
is probably one of the nicer features of
1:30
this wallet and we'll get into that uh a
1:32
little bit later all right let's get
1:34
into what I like about this double Oak
1:38
wallet so right here as I alluded to
1:41
earlier is the insert the metal insert
1:44
that is the actual ejector uh card
1:47
holding piece and I love that you have
1:51
this kind of two-piece design you have
1:54
the nice leather cash cards extra but
1:59
when you just want to have your cards
2:01
and you want to kind of keep it minimal
2:03
you can literally put it right on your
2:05
phone mag safe this is so so clutch I
2:11
pretty much ran this setup pretty much
2:14
the entire time I reviewed this Wallet
2:17
not not for the sake of um that I didn't
2:19
like it it is a little bit bulky but for
2:22
me personally just having that right on
2:24
the back of my phone was very very nice
2:27
if you do not like a thicker wallet as
2:30
you can see here's the iPhone this is
2:32
kind of a this is a little bit thicker I
2:34
don't usually get any kind of like
2:38
frustrated or kind of irked about
2:41
something being in my pocket but I would
2:42
get kind of frustrated with this Beast
2:45
being in there uh full of cards full of
2:48
cash everything like that it can be kind
2:49
of unruly but again you can just if it
2:53
does get that way slide this out right
2:55
on the phone and it is not going to come
2:58
off there it's really really sturdy on
3:00
there so that's one of the thing I
3:01
absolutely love about this wallet is you
3:03
can just take your cards or you can take
3:06
everything else with you in a really
3:09
really well-made and stylish form factor
3:12
so the other thing I really love about
3:13
this double Oak wallet is the leather
3:16
quality I don't know if the light really
3:18
gives a great uh tone but this is a
3:21
really really nice
3:23
blue top grain leather and it is as you
3:26
can see it's kind of patined there's
3:28
some scratches but it's real leather
3:31
it's not bonded or it's not vinyl or
3:33
anything like that it's a high quality
3:35
leather it will get some patina there's
3:38
a little patina here on the corner as
3:39
you can see and that is I love that
3:42
about leather wallets that's just
3:45
character and the more you use it the
3:47
more you leave your imprint on this
3:49
wallet and that's something that you
3:50
will have for a long time and you know
3:52
maybe you get a scratch on it or
3:54
something like that and that's just a
3:55
memory from something that happened and
3:57
I love that about this wallet that the
3:59
the the leather is very very nice and
4:01
that's something I really love about
4:03
this wallet so the third thing I really
4:04
like about this wallet is the Locking
4:07
card holder so I'm going to take it out
4:09
of the the case here just for Simplicity
4:12
so you see here on the side it says lock
4:15
unlock and inside where the card should
4:19
be unfortunately we forgot our uh dummy
4:22
cards to put in here but insert b-roll
4:25
here for it ejecting out the front but
4:28
you don't need the cards to see that
4:30
this little lip right here moves and
4:34
that is what keeps your cards locked in
4:36
there it kind of just hangs onto the
4:38
corner of the card like this when it's
4:41
locked and I have I've dropped this a
4:43
couple times with my phone attached and
4:46
I've never had a card fall out and I
4:48
think that's really great some of the
4:50
other wallets I've reviewed you drop it
4:52
even from a low height like even if it
4:54
falls off your lap in the car and your
4:56
cards go everywhere it goes in pieces
4:58
things like that but I've never had that
5:00
happen with this and it is due to the
5:03
Locking feature of the card holder so
5:06
another thing I love about this wallet
5:07
is the capacity seven cards is a little
5:11
bit higher on the uh ejector style
5:13
wallet capacity and I really really like
5:16
that I run business purchasing card my
5:20
personal card um two identification
5:22
cards things like that so that you can
5:24
chew up a lot of space in the ejector
5:27
style wallets and they even if it is one
5:30
or two more it is still one or two more
5:32
cards that you can carry and I really
5:33
like that about the Double Oak so on the
5:36
things I don't love about this wallet is
5:41
the thickness we kind of talked about
5:43
this before but this thing is pretty
5:46
pretty thick and it can be kind of
5:47
cumbersome especially if you are
5:50
somebody who doesn't
5:52
necessarily use a lot of cash or you
5:55
don't have a lot of uh like um maybe
5:58
coffee shop cards or anything like that
6:00
that would go in these Side Pockets here
6:03
and here maybe you could look at getting
6:06
they have an actual slim down version
6:08
which essentially takes this off and
6:09
just has this really high quality cover
6:11
over the uh ejector card holder and um
6:16
that is something I really don't love
6:18
about this cuz I'm one I'm kind of the
6:20
person that doesn't have a lot of cards
6:22
uh hanging around or a lot of cash to go
6:25
in it and so the bulk for me is a little
6:28
bit unnecessary but it is nice to have
6:30
uh a nice sustainable wallet or
6:33
sustainable no substantial substantial
6:36
wallet to you never lose this thing
6:39
that's for sure so the last thing one of
6:42
the last things about the Double Oak
6:45
wallet is the leather now not that the
6:48
leather is bad or that the leather is
6:51
not of the top quality or the
6:53
construction is not topnotch it all all
6:56
those things are that the thing I don't
6:59
like about it
7:00
is if this is in your pocket and it gets
7:03
damp or perhaps maybe slightly wet maybe
7:06
you take it out in the rain uh to pay
7:08
for parking at the the the parking meter
7:11
something like that um the die from this
7:16
particular color will come off on you
7:19
and your clothes I talked to another
7:21
person that actually owns this exact
7:23
same wallet just in a different color
7:24
and they didn't have any issues with it
7:26
I don't know if it is just a blue but it
7:28
was one thing that I was very mindful of
7:30
after the first time it happened uh when
7:33
I walked away from paying for my parking
7:35
in the rain and my hand was blue and
7:37
then my pants pocket was blue I was like
7:39
what is going on and then I realized it
7:41
was actually this and it's not a lot
7:42
like you don't spray paint your hand
7:44
blue type uh Dy uh release but it's
7:47
definitely it's definitely noticeable so
7:50
that's one thing I don't like about it
7:51
so in summary the Double Oak essential
7:56
wallet Iceberg Edition is a great wallet
7:58
I love this thing I love the capacity I
8:01
love the leather love all these
8:03
different features the Locking feature
8:05
for the cards all great I would
8:08
personally go with the slim cover for
8:12
the the card carrying portion of this
8:14
wallet just for me uh I I don't carry a
8:18
lot of cash don't carry a lot of cards
8:20
if you are somebody that does carry a
8:22
lot of cash does have a lot of cards
8:24
that they um like business cards things
8:26
of that nature and you do need some
8:28
space and you don't mind having a big
8:30
wallet this is going to be probably one
8:32
of the best picks you could go go for um
8:35
but personally I'm going to go with the
8:37
slim version of this wallet well that
8:40
wraps it up if you found this
