The Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch [$131] is a perfect everyday watch. This is a classic everyday style you can wear with just about anything in your wardrobe. This design was inspired by the legendary military-inspired designs of the 1970s and 1980s. Starting with a blank canvas, Huckberry drew on those styles from the 70s and 80s and went with a military-inspired ‘crosshair’ dial with polished and faceted 6, 9, and 12 markers. This watch is finished with a woven stainless steel bracelet and a functional aluminum timing bezel, the HB x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch is everything you could want in a watch.
These Vans UA Authentic 44 DX Anaheim Factor [$75] are based on Vans’ original design from way back in 1966. The modern updates include Ortholite® sockliners for comfort, higher glossed foxing tape and cotton laces, updated signature rubber waffle outsoles for the best grip, and the sturdy uppers will take anything you throw at them.
This classic and iconic Barbour Korrin Quilt Jacket [$280] is always in style. Barbour’s been in business for over 125 years and puttin gout the best British countryside fashions in the game. This lightweight and quilted jacket modelled after classic Harrington jackets and it’s built from a hardwearing polyamide shell. It is lined in Barbour’s classic tartan and features tonal Barbour embroidery at the left hand pocket.
You can pair that jacket with the Flint and Tinder Tapered 365 Pants in Laurel Green [$98] which comes in fifteen different colors and are perfect everyday pants. Even if jeans are your preferred style you’re going to love how these chinos frame your lower half. And they’re sold in every length x waist configuration you’re looking for.
Every aspect of The Carter Pocket Knife [$139] has been carefully considered and crafted to deliver you a perfect pocket knife for daily use, one that will last you a lifetime if you treat it well, and one that is lightweight and discreet enough to easily carry in your pocket without taking up too much space. This Black colorway is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts (it comes in 5 styles) all over I’m 100% on board with it.
The Ridge Aluminum Wallet + Money Clip [$75] is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts worldwide. This one seen here is the Black model but it also comes in a few different colorways for you to choose from. Remarkably, it only weighs 2oz which is insanely lightweight and won’t ever weigh down your pockets. It holds between 1-12 cards, is RFID-blocking, and has an integrated money clip for your cash.
Next up is the Tactica M.020 Camping Tool Card [$35] which is an incredibly awesome and useful multi-tool you can tuck right into your wallet. On this compact credit card-sized tool you’ll get a Ferro rod fire starter, flat screwdriver, rope cutter, can opener, rope tensioner, tent leg puller, scraper, mini saw, and even a sundial! This is one of those super useful multi-tools that’s great to have on hand in a pinch but it’s perfect for camping.
Here we’ve got the Nite Ize S-Biner Ahhh [$8] is super affordable and just a great option to buy in bulk. You can use it as a keychain or keep it attached to your backpack to hook your gear on the outside. For only eight bucks, this is a perfect addition to your collection of everyday carry essentials.
We round it out with the Jaybird Vista Earthproof Wireless Headphones [$149] in black. These earbuds have been overhauled to meet the military’s MIL-STD 810G requirements. If they’re rugged enough for the troops they’re good enough for you, right? In order to receive the MIL-STD 810G certification the ‘Earthproof’ Vistas had to endure ‘repeated shock, vibration, drop and crush tests, as well as withstanding tropical humidity, hurricane-force water and desert sandstorm conditions.’
Last up today is the all-new Lululemon More Miles Active Backpack [$128] which is made with durable and abrasion-resistant polyurethane body fabric that also resists water and stains. The coated water-resistant zippers keep your gear protected from splashes and light rain and the straps are breathable and comfortably adjustable. This is a perfect everyday backpack as well as one you can travel with and take camping. Lululemon has really gone next-level with this backpack and it’s one that you should 100% pick up if you’re in the market for a new bag.
