Everyday Carry: Skyline

Ella Fitzgerald sang it best: “Blue skies, smiling at me; nothing but blue skies do I see”.

We were looking out at the wild blue yonder the other day, and got inspired. What follows are our four favorite pieces of everyday carry gear that will have you looking just like the skies over the wide open plains.

Shinola Signature Pen

The pen is mightier than the sword—but it’s also much easier to carry in your backpack or messenger bag. Shinola’s signature pen looks every bit as intricately designed and highly polished as a Boeing 747, and its Schmidt p900 ink flies smoothly across any page.

The Ridge Wallet in Alpine Navy

If there’s one wallet that could take to the skies, The Ridge is it. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum and built with a minimalist style, it’s just big enough to hold a dozen cards and a few bills, forever protecting you from collecting a dad wallet’s worth of receipts and business cards.

Zenith Defy Skyline Watch

A reinvention of Zenith’s hugely popular Defy series of watches, the Skyline features an eye-catching octagonal case and beautifully contrasting blue and pearly white face. It’s as finely tuned as any jet aircraft too, and equipped with an El Primero 3620 high-frequency automatic movement.

Barton Perreira Damian Sunglasses

Even at night, the city skyline shines bright—just like these Batman-inspired sunglasses, a collaboration between Uncrate, Wayne Enterprises, and legendary LA designer Barton Perreira. Polarized lenses will keep your eyes safe while you’re flying into the sunset.
