With warm weather here to stay, it’s time to pick up some essential everyday accessories to refresh our look and add some utility to our daily lives. These hand-picked everyday carry items are built to last a long time and work great along the way.
First up today we’ve got the throwback Timex 80 Retro Watch [$59] which comes in Black or Silver. This is from the PEAK 1980’s digital watch designs of Timex but it’s a throwback style that’s just as good today as it was years ago. It’s water-resistant, has an easy-read digital display, an expansion wrist band, and it’s perfect for everyday wear.
The Rhodes Footwear Tyler Chukka (Plain Toe) [$175] boots are as fresh as they come. The waxy leather takes on a personalized patina over time and the uppers are cut from tumbled leather that’s soft and broken-in from day one. These boots are handmade in Leon, Mexico, the heart of Mexico’s boot industry, and they are fully lined in a soft, pliable, and comfortable leather lining.
This comfortable and fashionable Wax London Reid Tie Dye Tee [$53] is made from 100% organic cotton and the tie-dyed pattern is unique on ever tee, of course. Wax London makes some of the best-fitting and most comfortable tees around and this Tie Dye look is going to be perfect for warm weather.
You can pair that shirt with the Proof Rover Pants [$98] which come in three stylish colors to choose from. These rugged eco-friendly pants are a premium work-style that’s built to withstand anything you throw their way. The gusseted crotch unlocks full mobility and you can rock these all day in comfort.
Next up is the awesome Koshu Origami Leather Wallet [$75] which is available in three different shades of leather. This wallet is handmade in San Diego, constructed out of Grade A American leather, and finished with a sturdy brass snap. It’s perfect for slim pocket carry.
Every aspect of The Carter Pocket Knife by The James Brand [$159] in Natural Micarta + Black 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 Grey + Stainless colorway is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts all over I’m 100% on board with it.
Next up we’ve got the OrbitKey Cactus Leather Key Organizer [$40] which holds between 2 to 7 keys and is there to help you save pocket space in ways you didn’t think was possible. I was first turned onto OrbitKey a few years ago and have been a fan ever since. These really are a great way to ditch conventional keychains which have been around forever and are poorly designed.
Here we check out the Larq Self Sanitizing Water Bottle [$98] which really is like drinking water (or whatever) out of the future. This bottle features a UV-C LED purification system in the lid that kills 99.999% of bacteria in just 60 seconds. It also has a sleek single-walled construction that you can easily tuck into your backpack for camping or in the cup holder of your car.
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 Wexley Stem Daypack in Cordura [$129] which comes in Khaki/Grey or Navy. This is a lightweight and technical daily-use backpack with a 17 liter capacity that’s made from a hyper durable 1000D Cordura exterior. It has two hidden interior pockets and a 15-inch laptop sleeve inside the main compartment. The thermo-formed honeycomb EVA foam back panel is comfortable and breathable for all day wear and it really is just a stylish modern look for a backpack.
