Everyday Carry: Slim
Here’s a possibly controversial opinion: Invisibility is the best super power (sorry, team-flight). For everyday carry, I always say anything that can sink discreetly into pockets gives you the benefit of being unsusceptible in, say, a street fight. More realistically, slimmer pieces of EDC are simply more convenient—like the gear in today’s curation.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date Watch
There are few watch designs as versatile as the post-war everyday timepieces that leaned into dress as much as tool. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Control Date, with its pure stainless steel build and legible dress-meets-field dial, is made for a one-watch collection. And how they fit that beautiful, high-frequency Caliber 899 into an 8.78millimeter-thin case is a wonder.
Bellroy Card Sleeve
Bellroy employs an often overlooked user-friendliness to their extra-slender Card Sleeve. While its sophisticated leather construction holds over eight cards, a clever pull-tab and exterior slots ensure your work badge isn’t restrictedly trapped in between your Amex and Bass Pro Club card.
Tactile Turn Titanium Bolt Action Pen
With its exact point and tough, balanced build, the Tactile Turn Pen gives you the flawless penmanship of a Founding Father. Plus, the bolt system makes renewing and advancing the refill as strong and as reliable as the action of a Weatherby rifle.
Bellroy AirTag Case
In another master example of slim efficiency, this Bellroy Case fully protects your AirTag in a 13millimeter-high body. And despite its strong and classy leather finish, perforations ensure your notifications aren’t muffled.
