These essential everyday carry items are all connected by superior craftsmanship. Each of these items is well-built and here to add immediate value to your everyday life. Feel free to follow any of the links below to purchase the whole collection or pick out your everyday carry favorites as you see fit.
First up today is the The Guardian by Shinola Watches which runs on a brilliant Argonite 715 quartz movement. This watch is handmade in Detroit and the name ‘The Guardian’ is a nod to one of the city’s most iconic buildings. The 36mm case gives you a sleeker vintage look than bulkier watches and I love that about this watch, it frames the wrist perfectly.
The Converse x FOG Essentials Skidgrip Shoe is my favorite streetwear release of the Summer. It just dropped but you can still pick it up today if you act quick. This is a reboot of the Skidgrip Con-Rad which was a go-to style for skaters and surfers in the 1980s. This style was a childhood favorite of designer Jerry Lorenzo and he’s brought it back to life with the Converse x FOG Essentials Skidgrip.
The Converse x FOG Essentials Skidgrip Shoe is a hightop with a digitally printed archival pattern. It has a padded collar and OrthoLite sock liner (love OrthoLite!), Fear of God ESSENTIALS and Chuck 70 vintage license plates, and can be laced up with an oval lace or a cotton flat lace. Check it out!
I pretty much live in short sleeves year-round and that’s why I wanted to turn you gentlemen onto Tropical Bros. The Tropical Bros ‘Dad Bod’ Hawaiian Shirt is made from a custom ‘super stretch’ Hawaiian fabric. This magnificent party shirt has a moisture-wicking outer shell, wood buttons, a classic front pocket, and it’s machine washable. Best part? This breathable short-sleeve buttondown is perfect for cruising around on the boat from tiki hut to beach bar. You’ll automatically receive 20% off your entire order by clicking over to Tropical Bros from BroBible!
You can pair that shirt with the Flint and Tinder Pacific Wash Jeans which come in every Length x Waist configuration you’d want. They’re made from 12oz custom-designed Cone Mills Denim and each pair is washed by hand in a process that makes each one unique. They have a 1% added stretch which provides some of the best comfort on the planet and these are cut, sewn, and washed in Los Angeles.
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.
Next, we’re looking at the SOG Knives Aegis AT Pocket Knife for everyday carry. The D2 stainless steel blade measures 3.45-inches and is cryogenically heat-treated for world-class edge retention and durability. This lightweight and long-lasting knife fits comfortably in your pocket or on your belt and is perfect for everyday use.
At only $6, the Key Dangler – Midnight Diamond Coating is just a fantastic keychain tool. It’s symmetrically designed to be perfectly balanced and sized to fit any belt loop but also prevent swaying movement once it’s attached so you don’t clang it onto things.
The premium Adelante Shoe Co. Essential Leather Belt is from a pretty respectable outfit that’s made it their mission to ensure their leather workers in Guatemala are paid well using a standard developed from World Bank data. This single-piece leather belt is double-sided for durability.
We round it out today with the Meater+ Wireless Meat Thermometer which is a grilling tool I’ve used since the day it was released, and one I’ve featured here on BroBible in the past because I stand by how incredible the Meater+ is. Seriously, I rarely run my smoker without using the Meater+ because it helps me achieve a perfect temperature every time. the built-in Bluetooth repeater in the charger extends the range of the Meater+ to a whopping 165-feet. There are no wires whatsoever and you can monitor everything on the Meater smartphone app to make sure you never overcook your meat. If you treat yourself to something new today is should be the Meater+ Wireless Meat Thermometer.
Last up today is the Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21L Backpack which you see here in a ‘Wood Waxed’ colorway but it comes in three other colors as well. This weather-resistant backpack is built to keep your gear dry and safe while providing enough storage space for daily use as a backpack, gym bag, or a weekender/carry-on bag when you’re traveling. The versatility and ruggedness of this backpack makes it an exceptional choice.
