New season, new gear. Your collection of essential everyday carry accessories can use an upgrade. These hand-picked items are here to make this season the best yet. I mean this so sincerely, but the bar for enjoying life (and new gear) has never been lower after the past catastrophe of a year. So when treating yourself to some top-shelf gear it feels exponentially better now than it did a year or so ago. To purchase any of these items, you can just follow the links throughout the article!
First up today is the Alsta Nautoscaph Superautomatic Watch [$1,005] which is a modern and remastered version of the watch worn by Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws. This exquisite dive-capable watch is resistant up to 999 feet and runs on a world-class Seiko NH35A automatic movement with 24 jewels. This is a limited-run watch with only a few made and the sword-shaped lumed indices and hands for easy night-sight ensure you’ll always be able to see your watch.
Here we’ve got the Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX Sneakers [$90] which are incredibly fresh and also come in two colorways. They are built from lightweight suede and mesh upper in a modern style but the retro Sharktooth sole gives them a throwback feel that’s awesome. The ORTHOLITE™ insole provides all-day comfort.
I’ve been loving Mack Weldon’s tees, pants, jackets, and underwear for years. I wanted to turn you gents onto the Mack Weldon Pima V-Neck T-Shirt [$32] which is available in 17 different colors! This insanely soft t-shirt is so nice you can confidently wear it underneath a blazer or you can rock it on its own. The 100% pima cotton is what sets this shirt apart from the best.
You can pair that shirt with the Vuori Ponto Shorts [$74]. I don’t actually own these but I own the Vuori Ponto Pants and whenever anyone asks me what the best joggers are I immediatley tell them those because the fabric is on another planet it’s so nice and these shorts are from the same line so I know they’ll live up to the absolute perfection of the pants. They come in five colors, have a four-way stretch, are quick-drying and moisture-wicking, and the same uniquely engineered soft fabric of the pants.
Every aspect of The Carter Pocket Knife in Black [$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 Black colorway is a favorite of everyday carry enthusiasts (it comes in 5 styles) all over I’m 100% on board with it.
Next we see the The Ridge Forged Carbon Wallet + Money Clip [$115] which is a sick new design from The Ridge Wallet and it’s built to strike the balance between a minimalist wallet and a bi-fold. It holds between 1-12 cards in the carbon fiber plates, features RFID-blocking tech, and the modular design allows you to swap out the elastic cash strap for a money clip any time. The slim profile fits easily into your pocket without taking up any unnecessary space.
The Yellowstone National Park Gaiter [$10] is a one-size-fits-all neck and face covering that’s perfect for boating, hiking, or running errands these days. The gaiter is printed with a topographical map of Yellowstone National Park which makes it infinitely better than most gaiters I’ve seen on the market.
Some of you might listen to me, many of you won’t, but owning a great umbrella is a game-changer in the Spring. The The Collapsible Umbrella [$59] from Weatherman Umbrellas has a 40″ diameter with full canopy coverage. The reinforced industrial-strength fiberglass ribs resist breaking and deforming while the vented canopy lets air through without letting water in. And when you spend more than $10 on an umbrella you tend to make sure you don’t lose it!
We round it out with the Upstate Stock Eco-Cotton Watchcap in Seafoam [$29] is knit in New Jersey and finished in Brooklyn using a thick knit design to keep your head warm in cold weather and maintain its shape. It’s sustainably made from Upstate’s signature Eco-cotton.
Last up today is a 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.
