We are back with another roundup of the best new men’s everyday carry gear. This hand-picked collection of everyday carry essentials is all about living your best life each day. Well, it’s mostly about the nights. We lead off with some truly exceptional whiskey and there are a few other cocktail accessories along with these everyday carry items. To purchase any of these, just follow the links throughout the article!
First up today is the Traverse City Whiskey Co. Barrel Proof Bourbon [$79], a 4-year-old bourbon which ranges from 115 to 120 proof. It’s matured in new charred oak and non-chill filtered which builds heavy notes of oak, dried fruit, leather, cookies, and caramel on the nose. The complex finish is long, the body is full, and you’ll get layers of spiced citrus, caramel, oak, and nuts on the tongue. This incredible whiskey was a Double Gold recipient at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and winner of the “Best Small Batch Bourbon”. If you are on the hunt for a new whiskey you 100% need to track this one down and thank me later.
Next up are the Danner Pub Garden Boots [$190]. These are some of the best boots you’ll find anywhere in the world at this price point. They have a 100% waterproof barrier that’s also breathable, so the moisture can get out but the rain and mud can’t get in. They have a removable Ortholite footbed which uses three layers of varying density to create an all-day comfortable ride for your feet.
Here we’ve got the Schott Ribbed Wool Crewneck Sweater [$95] in Burgundy and it also comes in Navy. This is a lightweight yet warm wool blend pullover with ribbed cuffs and waistline and a stylish subtle heathered pattern.
You can pair that jacket with the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants in Charcoal [$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.
The Viski Whiskey Tumbler Set [$23] is quite literally the gold standard in bar glass fabrication. These faceted lead-free crystal whiskey glasses feel damn good in teh hand. They have a solid weight. You pick it up and know it’s meant ofr whiskey drinking. It’s the perfect way to enjoy your bourbon!
I don’t know if you guys have heard but the Traverse City Premium Cocktail Cherries [$16] are the best cocktail cherries around. It’s not about price, it’s about quality. This is an all-American product. These cherries are grown and jarred in Northern Michigan. They’re perfect for a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or other cocktails.
If you’re like me, you prefer a large ice sphere compared to the ice cubes in your freezer. The Viski Ice Sphere Mold [$20] includes four freezable ice molds. They recommend ~4 hours to freeze the ice molds and the silicone ice shells are easy to remove. You can also toss in items like citrus slices or herbs to mix up your cocktails.
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.
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 Grey + Stainless colorway is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts all over I’m 100% on board with it.
Last up today is this stylish and timeless Leather Loop Key Chain [$19] which has a brass clip to keep your keys secure and a robust leather strap. This is a classic keychain style that’s always been a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts and this particular one will develop a nice patina over time as the leather ages and takes on character.
