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.

[@DEClark]

Taylor, thanks for this review. I’ve been looking at OS for some time now. Your review provided me with the information for which I was searching that being the differences in models. You nailed it.

[@burqueboy5055]

I ordered the topsider in natural and blue thread. Should be shipping soon. I absolutely cannot wait! Thank you for your spotlight of this brand!

[@CreedWylder]

Can confirm, been using mine for a year. Absolutely solid, and helps me keep useless receipts away as it's a minimalists' dream

[@EDCNC-YT]

Been putting out more content here lately and I'm excited about it! Much love from! PS:thanks for introducing me to groundwork! I'm in love with their coffee. From Sam, NC.

[@ltgornon]

Thank you Taylor! Really appreciate the support and love

[@billyspahr808]

I just ordered my first wallet from Open Sea today and I’m super stoked! If I come to really enjoy it I’ll definitely be getting my dad one, he’s been using the same trifold for god knows how long. Great video :)

[@thewatchfemme4051]

You are reading my mind, Taylor! Been looking at these wallets and this clarifies things greatly.

[@OfficialXTH]

I've had a Topsider for a while now and love it! It's a great front pocket wallet that holds all the cards I need. And I rarely have cash, but when I do, I like that it's easy to carry and get to in this wallet. Absolutely recommended!

[@moritzsallmann1166]

When you are from Germany and suddenly realise that "Dosofemenier" actually means "Das offene Meer" and suddenly everything makes sense. 🤣

[@fightingusik4265]

I've gone super minimalist for my main EDC and the Hot Rack is outstanding! Right front pocket and it's almost like it isn't even there.

[@seanw9324]

I like the houbie, gun deck quick draw and topsider bifold. Just got the top sider bifold about a month ago and love it.

[@colbylandreth8744]

I’ve had one of these for two years now & absolutely love it

[@HEYitsTRAV]

I have the Gundeck and the Topsider. I personally prefer the Topsider because the Gundeck is just a tad too oversized. I carry Topsider as my primary wallet in my pocket, and then the Gundeck is a wallet I carry in my bag just for business cards. I love the work he does and think the designs are so simple and genius!

[@davusmaximus231]

Have been looking at these for awhile, finally saw how to spell "das offene meer." Didn't realize the name was changed either. Regardless, ordered one last week, topsider billfold in walnut and whiskey. Looking forward to it! Thanks for channels like yours and Siers who bring this stuff to light.

[@JonnyEnglishBOTL]

Have 2 topsiders, by far my favourite wallet! Have owned many wallets, before this the Trayvax element was my favourite, but the topsider is just so minimal, lightweight, small and takes a great patina patina patina!

[@Bigfootguitarco]

Never tried one but have been tempted to try the topsider. Thanks for the video 🤙🏽

[@evanb123]

Absolutely amazing products and craftsmanship! Love my Houbei 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kylewhite6600]

Just purchased a topsider bifold yesterday and tried to use the promo code but it didn’t take it for some reason. I mentioned it in the comments of the order as well. Still really excited to get it !

[@Richard_Barnes]

Great video 👊🏻 I'm in 🇬🇧 and got a Topsider Quickdraw in Cognac Shell Cordovan and it's an epic wallet. I love it. Now our cash notes are polymer, they got smaller and now fit even better. Top man is Michael, making some seriously good wallets 👍🏻🙂

[@iamsmashy]

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.

[@F1AVORR]

Is there any way to see a pic of yours aged? I'm thinking of getting natural myself, I want to see an end product

[@iamsmashy]

@@F1AVORR I’m willing but not quite sure the best way to do it. Any ideas? Maybe imgur

[@maggiedonovan]

Love that you're doing so many videos....I love it

[@jefferybradford5936]

I’m going to have to order one of those Houbi 2.0. I really like the way it has the extra pocket. Never know when you’ll need it

[@JustGorilla]

I have a topsider with the quick access slot and a hot rack. Both are just awesome. Hot rack is nice a minimalist for shorts and the topsider is great for everything else.

[@veritas.ve.42]

The Hot Rack is my front pocket carry. And the gun deck Mini will be in future.

[@kerry_yeieh16]

Just ordered 2 wallets! The mini topsider and mini gundeck, so excited for the brown to age!

[@bowedonut22]

I wish they made the topsider a bit narrower to better accommodate front pocket carry

[@korling99]

my favorite is the topsider also - got mine soon after he released it - he’s a navy vet too

[@sreilly688]

Houbei looks interesting. That would be the one I would order. The deciding factor is I really like the pocket on the back. I use my debit card most of the time. So having that card alone in the back pocket is convenient for quick easy access.

[@MrThatblueguy]

I've been waiting for the 2.0 to drop ever since I saw the June 28th tease for it on Instagram. So pumped I'll be able to use a discount code on it as well.

[@brandonl5247]

Was looking at the ridge but this top sider i will be ordering soon. Thanks bro 🤙

[@fuckbedtimes]

I just ordered mine today, in a rose and taupe color way cause I have a pink/titanium/gray color way going on and I cannot wait to receive it!

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Just bought mine looking forward to it

[@federicoestrada3263]

great timing for a video i was just about to buy one! awesome vids btw ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@davidmaita5581]

I got a Topsider and it's been the best wallet I owned. I usually switches my wallet every couple of months, but this ones has been in my pocket since September. Its the best and now I want to order a custom one

[@pmr7352]

Hi Taylor, the brown gundeck is the buck brown from Wickett and Craig I believe! I have the same brown but then the Topsider wallet. 👍🏻

[@coryholden89]

I currently run a Topsider QuickDraw and it's phenomenal. I got it right before he rebranded.

[@gabesanborn8545]

I went a little less minimal and got the 50/50. Two tone. Love it so far, Only had it like 3 weeks. Neatsfoot oiled it lightly once. Wondering how often does it need that.

[@dalemcgran6563]

I recently bought one from one of your older videos saying about the top edc wallets. Top notch wallet will be buying from them again.

[@yominrak7975]

I will be getting a topsider bifold for the bill fold pocket since I am using notes a lot.

[@JohnyAndrew]

just ordered me a topsider wallet from these guys. I got it in natural with Havana cigar stitching. can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@ValFinale]

Just got the fall release gun deck 2.0 in blue/natural. With the added pockets at the same size as the original. No brainer

[@masonruedebusch6738]

I just bought one so excited

[@NMiller_]

I've gone very minimal with my wallet these days. I currently use a wallet that hold my goto CC and ID on the outside, and then a larger single pocket inside for other cards, no cash options. For a lot of people I think that makes sense these days.

[@dumperspydiehoe298]

love it! keep up the good work 😁👌

[@musclegeek1991]

I’ve had the topsider for a year and it’s as beautiful as the day it arrived

[@tazccl]

I have been carrying my topsider for some time now. And I love this wallet

[@jydymyyyr9630]

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.

[@Ryguy9181]

Got my houbie a couple months ago It’s the best wallet I’ve ever owned I will definitely buy more from him

[@arnaudlouis464]

My preference from Open Sea goes to the Kam+ Planning to have one do the trip down here in Mauritius 🇲🇺

[@Adrian890722]

I’ve had my gun deck since 2017, stil ma fav, fits ma fav pen copper pen in the back too :)

[@TheronStClair]

I love my topsider. It falls into the pocket perfectly.

[@arnaldofdz1686]

I always wanted to try Gun deck, but I have a Johnny Wallet (has no stiches at all its one fold) from Loyal Stricklin the patina looks like your first Offene Meer so Open Sea might be my next wallet : )

[@ipsyop]

WAIT WHEN DID HE CHANGE IT ?! I bought my gundeck through him years ago when he was still on Etsy ! lol.. still rocking it

[@chrisclark5135]

Taylor spittin out vids like crazy this week!

[@BusySnoozing]

For the past three days I’ve been trying to find every video I can about OSL wallets since I’m trying to find the right fit for me from Michael’s selection. I’ve gone through a TON of your older videos where they’re briefly mentioned and was wishing you’d make a video of what he’s got to offer! Perfect timing! :D

[@tj.rockwell]

Also check out Jeremy Siers, he just made a video on them as well

[@onyx550]

I have a gundeck quick draw and love it will not switch to anything else might get a topsider Quickdraw if they make it I don't know I need look at the website

[@JPC326]

Open sea leather and Little king goods are both amazing leather crafter.

[@EngineeringPepper]

Now you have to do the Topsider Bifold absolutely the best.

[@onyx550]

I have a gundeck quick draw but really want to get a Houbei 2.0 so I'm going to save for it my gundeck quick draw is dark brown and blue with black stitching I saw it on his website before he was open sea and loved the color I did have a metal wallet it was ok but leather is the way to go

[@grymmreaper]

Don't own any of these fine wallets ...yet, but definitely looking at the houbei 2.0 or the topsider.

[@Friday_V7]

What watch are you wearing? Digging it

[@Dlutheran]

You should definitely do a video if some of his new wallets and new products

[@hepgeoff]

Nice review of these wallets. Do the Topsider and Houbei 2.0 carry the same amount of cards and cash?

[@botroselemy2165]

Love this company

[@agnesrambling]

wait… I thought i was the weird one who like brown green combo. I guess i am not alone in this colour combo now 😂

[@walterstreet1467]

The top slider is the wallet I will because of its loading and card capabilities

[@THINKFAST73]

Need to break down and pick one up. Question... 2hat is the band that you have on your Garmin Instinct?

[@MrKaan29]

Does the Hubei fit Euro bills ? (Especially €20 and €50 bills)

[@mkedrones]

Prefer little king goods myself, but these also look nice!

[@imyourhuckleberry5105]

Have you looked at rustic heirloom? They are local to concord

[@stevennelsonmn]

I have and use a Gun Deck wallet from 2015, and just ordered a Topsider. And now I see the code for the 10% off that I missed out on... Oh well, I know I will be happy with the Topsider when I get it and it will be worth the price. My son has a Gun Deck wallet that I gave him for Christmas that hasn't even been used...

[@tylertrissel3241]

Man I want one so bad. That chestnut Hubet 2.0 would match my carry so good but bank account said no😢

[@frangouchc943]

I love my Trayvax Acsent. I got it so it holds 8 cards a 7 bills.

[@joellowe2215]

So the houbei 2.0 .. the two tone gets me.. is the color thats on the front and back the "main color while the rest and (most of the leather) the sec color?

[@baylop7988]

what are the is the second color on the houbei that has the olive primary?

[@RussC123]

Anyone know if the topsider can hold a space pen, maybe slid into the cash slot and slid over to one side? Looks to be enough room

[@alexandreloyer-bw3bl]

This sounds like a major commercial for a wallet that doesn't look good. my impression.... Where did you get that skull in the back? It looks fabulous!!!

[@justinkovar201]

I would actually like the topsider, because I carry about 2"'s of cash with a rubber band around my wallet. I have had the same wallet since joiner year in high school (99) ... I won't get rid of it but I would like to slim it down to something more classy

[@carlomagnojamisola4052]

[@TheCamoKoreanFishingTV]

[@ETFootprints]

Nice review, gonna check it out. The camera keep missing focus and I can't watch the video for more than few minutes. I think the shallow DOF for close up is too much and unnecessary.

Gun Deck, because that's the one I own

[@jack.charlesc4750]

Hey Taylor we are not all Americans so if you could do like walletopia ...using pounds euros and yens would be a great change for us non American to see if our bills fits inside those wallet Isn t it a great idea !!!! Thinking about us poor fellows not dealing with US dollars

[@lfish21.]

Ordered olive/Bordeaux. Bobba Fett. Now to wet 3-4 weeks

[@samsaravii9944]

Considering these are such highly regarded wallets, im surprised that Open Sea Leather don't bevel the edges on the flesh side of the leather...

[@fightingusik4265]

Great stuff! Would you carry any of these in the front pocket of jeans?

[@shivani_]

a lot of people carry these in their front pocket! they're quite thin as long as you're okay with the 3" x 4.25" footprint. if you need something smaller than that then he's coming out with a mini version of the gun deck soon that is way smaller, but you have to quarter fold cash to fit inside.

[@fightingusik4265]

@@shivani_ I got a Hot Rack and am loving it.

[@SeppyRyan]

I might have to get one in 50 years when my ancicraft wears out.
