Gift Ideas: Everyday Carry

Published By

Every man and woman has a specific collection of items they grab before they even think of leaving the house. Be it a set of car keys with an attached flashlight or knife, a wallet, a lighter — you name it — the act of curating these items and stuffing them in a pocket is essentially known as everyday carry. Some purposefully curate their own everyday carry while others unknowingly throw together the essentials before heading out.

However well put together yours is, chances are there is someone you know whose EDC could use an overhaul. To that end, we’ve done the hard work for you by curating this list of everyday carry gifts that any guy would be proud to carry on his keychain or in his pocket.

Holden Card Wallet

Holden Card Wallet

The perfect blend of a traditional bifold wallet and a front pocket wallet, the Holden Card Wallet carries more cargo in terms of cards and cash than a typical cad wallet while maintaining a slimmed-down silhouette that won’t weigh you down. It features a 6 pocket design for stowing the bare essentials and a full grain leather construction that will develop a handsome patina over time. And at only 1.8 ounces, you’ll likely forget you’re carrying it in your front pocket until you need to pull it out. – Shop Now

It’s solid titanium handles render it lighter than solid steel models without compromising overall strength, while an S35VN, harpoon-style steel blade maintains a sharper edge for longer than it’s S30V steel counterpart. – Shop Now
