This hand-picked collection of essential everyday carry items was picked by yours truly to help your day run smoother from start to finish. Each of these items will improve your day in some way. YOu can follow any of the links throughout the article or pick and choose your favorites as you see fit.
First up is the VAER Watches A5 Field Automatic watch which runs on a high-quality Japanese-made Miyota 9015 automatic movement. This watch is assembled by hand in Los Angeles and it comes with a black silicone strap and the khaki nylon strap you see here. It features a classic military-inspired dial with 7 layer C1 lume hands and dial.
Next is the Quoddy ‘Runabout’ Handsewn Moc which is made in Lewiston, Maine. The premium Vibram molded rubber outsole was specifically engineered for all-day-comfort and traction in any weather. These are super comfortable shoes that will look great with shorts, jeans, and chinos.
The all-new Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee is a perfect three-season t-shirt for anyone out there who appreciates a little extra weight in their tees. I prefer this style as it frames my upper body better and sits comfortably across my chest and shoulders. This shirt’s made from an 8oz cotton/polyester blend and the fully taped shoulder boasts long durability.
You can pair that shirt with the Faherty Brand Stretch Malibu Shorts. Here we see them in light blue but they also come in Navy and Stone. The 9″ inseam lands right above the knees on most guys and they are over-dye and washed for a super soft and relaxed feel. The coconut buttons are also a special touch.
The Carbon Fiber Wallet + Cash Plate from Ridge Wallet is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts because of how lightweight it is and the superior craftsmanship. This minimalist wallet holds between 1-12 cards and has the elastic cash strap to hold all of your bills. This wallet only weighs 1.7oz which is unbelievably light compared to the competition.
Up next, we check out a unique everyday carry pocket knife from Deejo Knives which features a dope custom blade tattoo. These are some of the most customizable knives on the planet, they are super light, and ideal for everyday carry. They allow you to pick a unique ‘tattoo’ to make the knife your own as well as choosing the blade and handle features.
Here we have the Wood Visor Freshener from Drift, a really cool product that’s only $8 and it is something you probably never realized you need until you discovered it exists. This is a high-quality block of sustainably-sourced cedar wood that has been soaked in essential and fragrance oils to deliver real scents (not chemicals). The Drift Wood Visor Freshener has a balanced scent profile of dark rum, caramel, allspice, plum, and clove. At only $8 this is an absolute steal and one of the cooler products I’ve come across so far in 2020.
The Tanner Goods Memori Mechanico Pen is a twist-action refillable ballpoint pen made in Portland, Oregon. The smooth twist action allows for quick deployment and this pen’s machined grooves give you the best grip around. It is sold with a medium Schmidt P900 Parker style cartridge of black ink and you can load up on those so this pen lasts you a lifetime.
We round it out today with the world-class Klipsch McLaren T5 II True Wireless Sport Earbuds. Meant to closely mimic the shape of the ear for maximum comfort, the Klipsch McLaren T5 II True Wireless Sport Earbuds are manufactured about 25 percent smaller than other options, meaning they won’t fall out or have sound interrupted when you’re in motion. And with a new signal boost antenna — delivering a high-quality, seamless Bluetooth® wireless connection — you’ll have maximum sound quality. The first 500 orders will receive a 30% off coupon code from the McLaren Gear Store, with codes being emailed once the product ships, so make sure to order yours now.
Last up today is the Filson Dryden Ballistic Nylon Backpack which is constructed out of highly weather-resistant Cordura® and it has a double-reinforced bottom so your gear stays dry, secure, and the backpack lasts you a lifetime.
