It is the time of year to start treating ourselves to new gear alongside stockpiling ideas for our holiday wishlists. This roundup of the best everyday carry essentials is perfect for now or later, it is gear built for everyday use or accessories that are then when you need them the most. You can pick and choose any of these everyday carry essentials by following the links throughout this article and shop the full collection or just your favorites.
First up today is The Runwell by Shinola Watches ($550) which is a stylish American-made watch that’s assembled by hand in Detroit. This watch is powered by a reliable and highly-accurate maintenance-free Argonite 715 quartz movement. One of the things I love about this watch is its versatility. You can dress this watch up or down depending on the occasion. Rock it with shorts and a polo or with a suit. This watch isn’t cheap but you’re buying some of the best craftsmanship and quality in America so you get more than you pay for with this brilliant timepiece.
The Converse Custom ‘Federation’ Chuck 70 Sneakers ($115) are a really cool customizable line that you can make your own. The upper is fully customizable with prints from the USMNT, France, Netherlands, and South Korea National Soccer teams. I’ve featured one of the three South Korea prints here which you can make your own but the Team USA are FIRE and the orange also looks excellent for The Netherlands. Hit that link and check out the Converse landing page with all their options.
Next up is a really cool piece, The Hoodie by Asket ($110), which is about to be your new favorite layer for the next few months. The Hoodie by Asket comes in Navy, Black, and Dusty Green. This has a heavy-weight feel, 100% organic cotton loopback, it’s double lined, and I actually love the removal of the kangaroo pouch pocket that makes this a more streamlined look. Make sure you check out this awesome release from Asket because it could sell out quick.
You can pair that hoodie with the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants ($98) which come in Slim or Straight cuts and four different colors to choose from. Corduroy Season is the best season when it comes to pants. I’ve always loved cords, their fit, feel, and versatility and this pair is made 8oz blended fabric that’s perfect for year-round wear.
Here we check out a unique everyday carry pocket knife from Deejo Knives ($70) 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.
The Goal Zero Flip 36 Portable Charger ($40) is an everyday carry essential everyone needs. It’s a portable charger with USB-A input so you can stay juiced up on the fly whether you are worried about your phone dying or your Bluetooth speaker. It’s compact and can easily be tucked into your bag. Fully charged, it can juice up a smartphone to 100% 3x.
The Woolly Made Laser-cut Leather 4-Card Wallet ($75) is a really cool slim wallet. It is laser cut and hand-crafted in Portland, Oregon and the laser cutting adds this awesome vintage style to it that you rarely find these days. This is Woolly Made’s most popular wallet and for good reason, as it’s strong and rugged enough to last a lifetime.
The Huckberry Fish Hook Key Ring ($28) is a Huckberry original that’s made right here in the USA. It’s ideal for saving pocket space and the matte black brass is both lightweight and durable.
We round it out today with the Hestra Deerskin Wool Tricot Gloves ($120) which are some of the finest cool-weather gloves around. The supple deerskin leather has a really beautiful grain texture and the soft Italian wool lining offers superior warmth and insulation so you can wear these all Fall and Winter.
Last up is the Aer Fit Pack 2 Backpack ($135) which is an all-time favorite of mine. I’ve had an Aer Fit Pack 2 for years and I’ve traveled the world with it. It has a super handy zippered pocket at the bottom for your shoes as well as a massive central compartment. I often use this as my carry-on bag for flights. It also has a laptop sleeve and pockets throughout for everything you need to store.
