Yes, Michael is a stand up guy! I had many questions and had a hard time picking leather colors. He was kind enough to make suggestions and even send me photos of combos I wanted to see side-by-side. Then, he accidentally sent me the wrong wallet. I told him and he quickly shipped the correct one, in the correct color and let me keep the first one. This will NOT be the last time I do business with this man.

I have had that exact natural topsider for about a year and a half and it has aged BEAUTIFULLY. I messaged back and forth with Michael to make sure I would end up with that golden tan look and that was his recommendation. You will certainly not be disappointed.

I believe, even now, the regularly sized Gun Deck and Topsider are slightly different in size. The Gun Deck (which is a horizontal design) is 4.25" across and 3" tall, and the Topsider (which is a vertical design) is 3.25" across and 4" tall. The Gun Deck fits dollar bills when folded in half, while the Topsider fits unfolded dollar bills (where the bills are folded over when the flap is closed). Then there's the mini versions of each, which are primarily CC holders. So many styles and options... which will I choose??? Thanks for the review.

I have the Gundeck and the Topsider. I personally prefer the Topsider because the Gundeck is just a tad too oversized.
