Gun Deck Wallet Review
A compact, fold-over leather wallet blending rugged design with minimalist function.
Handcrafted in the USA, the Gun Deck Wallet comes from Open Sea Leather, one of the more respected names in the minimalist wallet scene. Known for its raw, functional designs and premium full-grain leather, Open Sea’s craftsmanship has always leaned into simplicity without sacrificing quality. The Gun Deck sits comfortably in the same design family as other single-fold, flap-style wallets like the Johnny Wallet by Loyal Stricklin and the Wask Wallet by Willow Craft Goods. All three share a similar ethos: refined minimalism, robust materials, and timeless style built to last.
Based in Honolulu, US, Open Sea Leather is a hugely popular independent craftsman who provides a wide range of premium leather goods all handmade to order. Veteran Owned and Operated, Open Sea Leather Bridge the gap between quality, affordability, and innovation providing a wide array of attractive, functional, and distinctive leather goods. The wallet we’re going to be reviewing today is their best-selling Gun Deck Wallet.
Made from a single piece of Buttero Vegetable Tanned Leather (full grain) the Gun Deck provides an innovative design being made with a nearly stitchless design. The leather is obviously stunning with a rich deep color that gets better with time as it’ll develop a rich patina with use. Being full-grain leather (the best grade of leather) means it’s highly durable and will last the test of time.
In terms of functionality, the wallet can store a decent array of cash and cards even though the size of the wallet is only 76.2 mm tall x 107.95 mm wide. The wallet hosts two main pockets that allow for the storage of up to 10 credit/debit cards. In the front, the slightly smaller slot is where you’d want to store any banknotes which can easily and securely be fit folded in half.
Because the Gun Deck Wallet is handmade to order, Open Sea Leather provides a huge array of customization and personalization options allowing you to really tailor the wallet to your liking. This allows you to choose between 17 different colors ranging from classic blacks or browns to more unique colors like red, purple, or orange. You can also choose a thread color (stitching) which is a nice accent color and a further way to make the Gun Deck Wallet your own.
Overall the Gun Deck wallet was a joy to use. It’s clear why it was named Most Innovative Product of 2016 (By Best Leather). The wallet just works and this is mainly down to its amazing craftsmanship and premium materials. Its flap (tuck-in closure) system is fantastic for keeping things secure and the Gun Deck’s overall capacity is more than enough for most people.
The Gun Deck Wallet comes in at $59.00 which is an amazing price for the quality and craftsmanship you get.
