Ekster’s wallets have always long been one of my favorite cardholders (we won’t talk about the Parliament here) because they have an amazing capacity, are easy (and quick) to use, and look great as well. However, their plastic ejector mechanism and lackluster warranty definitely held them back. That is until they announced this Ekster Cardholder

I’ve always been a big fan of leather bi-folds, and in fact, have never owned a minimalist wallet before this one right here! However, after Groove Life offered to gift Gear43 their all-new Groove Wallet Trace (which is a trackable, 6-card capacity wallet), I was excited to check it out and put it through its

I’ll put this right out into the open: I’m a big fan of Ridge’s products. My first true minimalist wallet was the Ridge Aluminum, which my wife had given me! In fact, that wallet is what got me into reviewing wallets like this (which has become a passion of mine). However, after years of reviewing

I have no doubt that in the past, metal wallets would have never been considered a viable option. Whether it be because leather had more give or because it was easier to make. However, with the growth in popularity of minimalist wallets, that is perfectly suited to the metal form factor. I’ve had a chance

Back in 2013, when Ridge released its first wallet, the wallet game changed. You no longer had to keep a massive leather bifold in your backpocket, not only hurting your back, but storing far too many receipts from six years ago. Since that time, there have been plenty of rivals, iterating on the design that

I haven’t been overly fond of leather-based minimalist wallets, and in fact, I was quite harsh with the Ekster Wallet that I had tested a while back because it was just too big to be a minimalist wallet. However, after a viewer of my YouTube channel mentioned that I should check out Double Oak Essentials,
