From apparel to accessories and gear to gadgets, this collection of everyday carry essentials is here to help you get through the day. You can shop the full collection or pick and choose your favorites by following any of the links below!

Up first is the stunning Serica W.W.W. WMB Edition Watch which was designed in collaboration with photographer and author Matt Hrane who wrote the book A Man & His Watch. The W.W.W. stands for ‘Wrist. Watch. Waterproof.’ which is an acronym used by the British Army in 1945 and that acronym lives on today in the watch world. This watch runs on a Swiss-made ETA 2801-2 mechanical movement, is water-resistant up to 330 feet, and the case is made from premium 316L stainless steel. This is a stylish everyday watch that’s built to last you a lifetime but unlike other mechanical movement watches this doesn’t cost several thousand dollars.

If you want to add some color and functionality to your ‘fit then check out the Vans Ultrarange EXO Sneakers. These are super lighweight and built with next-level breathability. The upgraded UltraCush Lite midsole compound offers lightweight comfort and cushioning. Additional design features make these some of the sickest sneakers around.

The Billy Reid Mini Waffle Henley is one of the comfiest shirts you can pick up in 2020 and with all of the lounging around in the near future you’ll be 100% happy you copped this. This soft thermal shirt is perfect alone or for layering up.

You can pair that henley with the all-new Khaki Jean from Revtown which is a stylish and versatile take on their ‘Sharp Fit’. These slim-cut jeans are infused with a stretch to ensure you have a full range of movement that’s ideal for wearing every day to work, the bar, or when traveling. It’s like they’ve cracked the code on how to combine khakis and jeans into one super product that I’m at least 50% convinced was designed specifically for me.

The Aer Slim Pack is about to become your all-time favorite backpack for everyday use. The 840D nylon construction with 1680D Cordura® side paneling means you can put this backpack through anything and it will hold up.

The Leatherman FREE K4 Multi-Tool comes with everything you want in a pocket knife multi-tool. The blade’s constructed out of 420HC, it also has spring-action scissors, a pry tool, package opener, awl, bottle opener and more.

Here we see The Ridge Titanium Wallet + Cash Plate which is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts worldwide. This titanium wallet is incredibly light, holds between 1-12 cards, has a cash strap for extra space, blocks RFID-skimming devices, and only weighs 2.5oz!

Now we’re checking out the Jaybird Vista Earthproof Wireless Headphones 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.’

We round it out today with The Benton Pen by The James Brand. This pen’s made with a 304 stainless steel barrel and uses a Schmidt 900 refillable ink cartridge which means this pen is built to last you a lifetime in addition to being useful in just about every scenario.

Last up is the Wazoo Survival Gear Survival Pod. This is an ingeniously designed keychain + survival kit with the bare essentials. It’s constructed out of type III commercial 550 paracord and 7 inner strands of two twisted yarns each.
