Not gonna lie I checked out a couple of this guys videos before seeing this and was actually super curious about what he carries. Im gonna be real, im sure he's a great guy and all in real life. But man, this guy must have some insane martial arts skill to have the balls to wear my years worth of income on his person at all times and even be so much as "iffy" about a pocket knife.😂 I digress, I'm sure he'd make a great wingman.
You are all nuts, I just carry a small single stack 9mm or .380 acp, disappears under minimal clothing, even a t shirt. Small enough to be missed in a pat down, doesnt print when I bend and twist.
Electronics don’t last long and if you’re buying a new one the next year, paying 500usd for it isn’t practical. A pen that costs 500usd will probably last until your grandchildren’s children or even longer.
It's not like a watch tells you the time much better than your phone, your phone is probably better since it can autocorrect itself and detect timezone automatically
@@felix34ever1 It depends. Because your phone usually gets its time from the mobile network, it won't be as precise as a radio controlled watch using atomic clock signals. However, when you use GPS, your phone acquires a very accurate time reading, and it should also use this to correct its system clock, making it basically as accurate as a radio controlled watch. A watch still has the advantage of battery life, though, especially if it has a solar panel built in or is fully mechanical (in that case it will likely be less precise than your phone, though). Also, looking at your wrist watch is usually faster than looking at your phone, and certainly more elegant, as well as polite in a social setting since looking at your phone seems like your disconnecting from the conversation as other people can't see that you're just checking the time.
I stopped wearing a wristwatch when I started carrying a smartphone. I started wearing a wristwatch again when I got tired of having to pull my phone out of my pocket and wake it up just to see what time it is.
For security, it's recommended that you carry your wallet in a side pocket of your trousers, not the back pocket. The back pocket it a lot easier to pick. Probably the same thing for the cell phone.
I’m always conflicted between his chosen style and the phrase “modern gentleman”. I feel like it’s more about dressing like your from the 40’s than being modern- I half expected this vid to include a gramophone and carrier pigeon.
my late grandpa were more modern dressed than you, and he lived his 30s in the 1960s (others even consider him as a bit too flamboyant man in his time). But still, your consistency to bring the old gentlemanly style of the past are worth of praise :)
Hmmmm. A pen, nail tool, sewing needle, knife, etc in one tool? Why I love my Swiss Army knives! Your videos are a bit above my tastes and budget, but I still really enjoy them and learn from them! Take care.
I was glad to see a pocket knife on the list. Coming from the South I was taught its just one of those things you never leave the house without, like a wristwatch. There are just too many uses for it. Sidearm, yeah. But mine come with badge and cuffs. I just change my carry depending on if I'm wearing a belt or suspenders. By the way, body armour absolutely ruins the lines of even the best put together suit. I have pics, it looks ridiculous. Plan ahead. Professional tip. If you wear concealed body armour for work. Bring it with you to buy your work suits and shirts around it. A good Taylor can hide a world of sins.
I saw EDC and my mind went to the Electric Daisy Carnival, and I started imagining him raving in a three piece suit. I just imagine him saying “Now, it may be more expensive but I believe in really springing for quality MDMA. It’s more expensive, but it’s always about aiming for something you won’t regret buying. This molly was manufactured by an elderly hermit in the Rockies, and is really a quality product that you won’t regret buying. When rolling, you want the best experience possible.”
@Curious George Floyd Congratulations for showing your own racial bias by implying that all Africans need weapons! And for totally missing the point (that you need weapons in THE white 1st world country - called the USA - which was the main point of my post...) You realize that "certain 3rd world countries" a) doesn't include all of Africa, and b) includes quite a lot of (white) countries out of Africa, too? And that "clean drinking water" is actually an issue in some "white" first world countries, too (look no further than the USA and Canada in that regard - does the name "Flint" ring a bell?). You tried to show that I'm biased (and ridicule me by changing the topic to clean drinking water, which is a whole other topic), but only managed to show your own strong bias by doing so. Next time, try to think and actually understand what somebody else wrote before you answer - it might help.
I always carry a micro flashlight and a mini thumbnail drive on my keychain. Plus, while not on my person, I have a complete first aid roll in the trunk of my car. That has come in handy many many times over the years.
I think all the dislikes expected a gun, two pocket knives, a flashlight and twenty tactical black gadgets, the average edc. I think this video's lovely and very useful for me =)
Most places are between 60° and 75°f so if you can stand body temperature your good and different clothes and materials breathe differently out doors in summer for extended periods might be ruff but for normal days a suit is pretty awesome
Here in Britain all of those knives would be ilegal in the street. I like to carry a victorinox Alox farmer. It has most of the day to day things you will need and the all metal design I find very classy. It is also street legal
For those of us who carry keys and don't want to wreck our pants, I highly recommend a good key case. Cheap key cases, unfortunately break and you could loose a key, causing an enormous headache. Although it was ridiculously expensive, I've been using a Louis Vuttion key case for several years now and is fantastic and still looks new. I used to carry Rolfs leather ones which were good for 10 or 12 years, but they don't make them any more. A must have for the gentleman who carries keys!
I don't like to carry too much on me but I always have my $7 Walmart Legend of Zelda wallet with a couple of credit card multi tools in my back right pocket, an assisted opening pocket knife cliped inside my right front pocket, a 100% cotton bandana folded up and kept in my back left pocket, an analog Casio wrist watch on my left wrist and of course a defensive pistol and a spare mag in IWB holsters. I also keep my cell phone in my right front pocket and my car keys which also have a small multi-tool attached it in my left pocket and for those of you wondering I drive a 1998 Ford Ranger single cab pickup and I'm Still rocking a tape player. Keeping it classy
Just had to look it up because I was unfamiliar with it. Yeah, that's a sidearm fit for a gentleman. Alternatives include the Walther PPK (if you're willing to sacrifice practicality for style), the Colt 1911 (classic and reliable), and the Makarov PM (arguably the best of both worlds). You'll probably want to shy away from being seen with a Luger P08, though.
Great video! My EDC differs from case to case, as certain items are prohibited in certain places, and are simply not necessary. Apart from those cases, I carry my iPhone, a 5.11 Min-Pin Knife, a 5.11 TMT PLX penlight, an ASP P12, keys, wallet, ID leather case, a small Staples notepad and a Rotring Tikky pen. I am glad to see a video that takes away the "tactical" nature of the EDC concept.
There are many knives known a gentlemen’s folders. They are slim lined, sleek and of straight/classic designs. The knives you showed were not what would be considered gentleman’s folders, they were more like tactical folders. An episode on such knives would be interesting.
My EDC- At work (long haul trucker), a keyring with 1 spare truck key, 1 Smith&Wesson handcuff key, 1 folding lock pick set, and 1 mini-multi-tool. Loose change. ( a couple dollars worth, usually) Cash ($300, average), a metal ball point pen, a folding knife, a normal sized multi-tool, a second handcuff key, cigarettes, a lighter, and my watch. My wallet and phone usually stays in the truck. At home, all of the above, plus my wallet, my phone, and a revolver. If I am dressing up, I slim things down a bit, so as not to add bulges to my profile.
I wonder in how many European states carrying knives is illegal. Knives can be very handy for opening packages and preparing some food on the way. However, most seem to carry them for personal defense, which is exactly why they've been banned from many places and yet knife crimes are quite common in some places...
Only the Uk, because they are insane. Its totaly legal to carry a knife with you in the rest of europe, with just some very special knifes beeing outlawed. Its also pretty hard to imagine a frenchman without his Opinel.
Wait, does Germany still have those antiquated "no swords but knives are okay" laws? If they did, people would probably still be carrying 3ft "knives" around lol
I've found it's easy to be minimal while maintaining a lot of practicality. A small, quality knife will serve you well for cutting most things an average homeowner may encounter. I dig the small models Spyderco--very light, but incredibly sharp. I also have a small Victorianox 5-function I keep in my watch pocket with a small screwdriver carabiner from Nite Ize clipped to it. A good torch from a company that you won't find in a hardware store checkout line is a great tool and good investment. Streamlight and SureFire make some of the best handheld lights available. I like the EDCL-1T from SF and ProTac 1L from SL. A company that makes holster clips for firearms called Discreet Carry Concepts makes a pocket clip called the Mod 3 that is great for attaching your keys to so they don't sink to the bottom of your trouser pocket. For pens, I have a small Levenger pen clipped to the inside of my wallet fold. It's an excellent, albeit small writing utensit that pulls through when the waiter forgets your pen
An outstanding EDC video. My briefcase for work and a messenger bag for travel provide substantial space for needed EDC items without having to put them in pockets of coats and trousers. And, thanks for the color descriptions of your clothing at the end of the video--it's helpful for those us who have a color vision deficiency.
The idea of EDC without a knife and a handgun is foreign to me. Carrying these items also requires a different approach to dressing. You are not likely to wear a vest if you are carrying a handgun, unless you are carrying it in a shoulder holster.
I like your edc but the first thing that goes in my pocket everymorning is a knife. Most times a more traditional knife because I’m not an FBI agent but they are very useful. I also cant go without my watch and normal keys.
Austin Holliday I used to carry a leek, now I'm all about utility knives. Milwaukee fastback is my current carry, I even got one for my girlfriend. Honestly a knife is the most useful tool anyone would carry.
I started watching these videos, thinking I would learn something and be able to improve, but the more videos I watch, the more I realize that most of them just state the absolute obvious and sometimes even seem a bit cringey!
In pockets, comb, lighter, small knife, wallet, phone, cable. On belt, keys, a knife and a small pouch Containing another knife and lighter, charger, power bank, string, toiletries, flashlight, emergency blanket with hand warmers, spoon and a P 51 can opener. I live outside a small town and walk a lot.
My EDC items; 1. Small pocket knife 2. Larger pocket knife 3. Finger nail clippers 4. Blistix lip balm 5. USB drive 6. Pens in my breast pocket 7. Pocket watch 8. A concealed firearm 9. A wallet 10. A lighter 11. A handkerchief My EDC is concerned with everyday survival as I work a great distance from town. This is a great video, keep up the good work.
as a teacher with the UN that worked in multiple countries in Africa. I can tell that the most important thing in my EDc is a big piece of cloth. A shemagh or similar item. followed by a water bottle, flashlight and cash as it is hot there, frequent powercuts and the lack of power and cash is king. this followed by a pen and then a knife, which is then followed by mmy least important thing earphones and powerbank portable charger
I carry a pocket knife (benchmade 940) a pistol (glock 43) a pen (benchmade 1100) pocket notes, a wallet, my phone, and a small flashlight (olight mini baton)
I feel the need to clarify something. Not all micro 4/3 cameras are point and shoot. In fact the overwhelming majority of them are DSLRs. Developed a joint venture from Lumix (Panasonic's digital camera brand) and Olympus. The G and GH series are DSL (I'm currently using a G6) but the have also made the S series which is the world first full frame m4/3 mirrorless DSL camera. Anyways it goes the 4/3 are not a downstep. In fact I have owned 3 Lumix and 2 have been m4/3. I prefer them overwhelmingly to Nikon and Canon and they take just as good photographs if not better.
Firearms have a long history in the United States. While that history has been complicated by changes in law and culture across different regions, fashionable carry has been a thing. I'd love to see Gentleman's Gazette dig into that history and look at some modern options.
EDC ´ s presented as its best. I would recommend wireless earbuds as they are easier to transport. You can get some not too expensive from Sennheiser with a decent sound. A shame you are not too much into wristwatches, your style would be perfect for a Cartier Tank or, as a link to Germany, a Nomos Orion. Best regards from Germany, Konstantin
For evening I also carry my cigarette lighter (Dunhill Rollagas 1974) and cigarette case with B&H Menthols + some 120 Ladies Cigarettes. I don't smoke but most of my friends do, and the Menthol is a go to cigarette for young people if they smoke or vape. The cigarette case has a mirror inside for the ladies if they want to check their makeup (it is actually a woman styled case). It's a classy move to let ladies use the mirror, that way they have the option of going to powder their nose. The cigarette case goes in your right hand inside jacket (Sport coat) pocket. Always retrieve the case with your left hand, open as you pull out of pocket, you won't drop it this way, and when you present it, the case is already open. You do not have to use two hands to open the case. Present the case and your partner can take the cigarette they want. Then close the case as you put it back into your pocket. The lighter is in your jacket left hand pocket. If you have a tailor you can have a small lighter pocket to house your Dunhill (it has a very small footprint) sewn into the jacket. You want to be able to handle and light cigarettes from a sitting position without having to dig into your trouser pockets and be able to retrieve relatively quickly compared to everyone else. To get good at handling your case, just practice while watching TV or listening to music. Then it will come naturally. Understand that cigarettes are not taboo in many places around the world. If you think you may go to an upscale cigar bar then carry a cigar lighter and cutter. I like the triple flame lighters from Calibri (guys are really impressed how well they light a cigar). I carry these in my trouser pockets.
Absolutely awesome info for EDC, however one thing that was left out was a back light source, not sure if this was mentioned in other comments, but a small LED light device similar in size of a chap stick container would be a great back up light source if in a building during a power outage. Love the wonderful content of your videos, please keep up the great work and best od luck to you in the future.
Guess it's a good thing I've never claimed to be a gentleman. Essential EDCs for me are a knife, pen, multitool, wallet, and flashlight. I got tools in my truck and have learned methods to improvise to solve some problems as they occur. This is a quality channel, but the term, "dandy" comes to mind as I watch these vids.
I use the mini Victorinos as a keyring. it have an screwdriver, a knife, a nail file, a toothpick, plyers and scissors. I think I use a function or more a day.
My everyday carry is a Springfield Arms XD-9 mod 2 Compact with a 13-round magazine. Occasionally I will carry the Tactical version with it's 16-round magazine and longer barrel.
Springfield XD 45 full sized service model with light and laser attachment 16 round capacity. Karambit folding knife, wallet, keys and phone...cheap digital watch
I would highly recommend a tiny AAA flashlight by Maratac, Olight or Lumintop. They are super handy when you drop something under your seat on the airplane, or have to read the serial number on the back of a server.
you dress from the 20s conduct yourself as though your in the 20s but want a futuristic electric car? why not an older 40s Hudson rebuilt to your specs??
Well he did say he disliked the interior. As soon as they release a model with brass steering wheel and chesterfield seats, he'll be straight down the dealersmith.
I like your choice of colors and you dress petty classy but can you please suggest some things which one can wear normally without looking too unnecessarily decked up?
By far the best EDC video (and you are always by far the best and most classic style guru I thoroughly get the most joy and knowledge from)! Your EDC is nearly identical to mine, even down to the floss, lip balm, handkerchief, hand lotion, nail trimmers. Wonderfully detailed and useful quality stuff!
“Skip the backpack because it makes you look like a school boy.” Hard disagree. Backpacks are less bulky/more ergonomic than their alternatives and they have more capacity. Even if they look bad, the utility gap is too enormous to ignore in my opinion.
There's a really good rhyme if you're a forgetful person as you go out the door: Testicles (pat groin) Spectacles (pat glasses) - if you don't wear specs maybe pat your keys or something Wallet (pat pocket carrying wallet) And watch! (Tap watch with finger) "Testicles, spectacles wallet and watch" - works every time.
My EDC carry includes a flashlight and not some wimpy penlight. I have a small powerful, 240 lums flashlight that goes pretty much everywhere I go. Its small enough to fit in the pocket easily, and bright enough to light up a room if needed, and its adjustable lens lets me focus the beam where I need it. Also of note, is the time of year, in fall-winter, and early spring when it gets dark much earlier than summer, having a flashlight is essential. The rechargeable batteries are essential, while not technically part of the carry stuff, they do make it easier, having several sets to keep charged for easy swapping when the current set goes is a life saver, and make the whole thing much easier. I also carry a knife with most of the time. The knife of choice these days is my Kershaw, Its small, has assisted open and has a mixed blad the end of it being a straight blade, while it has a section towards the handle that is serrated, for jobs that the regular blade won't do. And ist cheap, In price, not quality. I chose a low-cost knife for everyday carry because if you lose it, or have to lose it, Its only 20.00 at Walmart,. Point being If I lose a knife I don't want to lose a 100.00 knife, I'd rather lose 2-3 20.00 knives then one expensive knife. Also these days, I've started carrying an extra USB cord, and a wall very small wall charger with me on long days. Being able to plug into a port or my charger to keep them S7 Edge alive is essential.
My number one EDC item is a gun. If I'm in a jam and I need anything else like a wallet, phone, or a pen, the gun comes in real handy.
😂
Hadn't thought of it like that.

SirWilliamDeHooton peasant, as a discerning gentleman my servant carries around my land pattern smooth bore musket
Especially when kids in public are misbehaving
You forgot to include the most essential - the Walther PPK. A gentleman's handgun. For keeping the ruffians at bay.
I'm an American. We carry a 1911 for such occasions; MK1 of course.
I prefer a revolver, they are just as concealable and powerful.
You are all nuts, I just carry a small single stack 9mm or .380 acp, disappears under minimal clothing, even a t shirt. Small enough to be missed in a pat down, doesnt print when I bend and twist.
LCP in summer, LCR in winter.
Yes, of course. A PPK in 380. My EDC. And I’m a gentleman

I am glad to see a video that takes away the "tactical" nature of the EDC concept.
There are many knives known a gentlemen’s folders. They are slim lined, sleek and of straight/classic designs.
The knives you showed were not what would be considered gentleman’s folders, they were more like tactical folders.
An episode on such knives would be interesting.
Buck 256 is a great option for this.
Good quality Pocket knife is a must have.....Tradition in many families
My EDC-
At work (long haul trucker), a keyring with 1 spare truck key, 1 Smith&Wesson handcuff key, 1 folding lock pick set, and 1 mini-multi-tool. Loose change. ( a couple dollars worth, usually) Cash ($300, average), a metal ball point pen, a folding knife, a normal sized multi-tool, a second handcuff key, cigarettes, a lighter, and my watch. My wallet and phone usually stays in the truck.
At home, all of the above, plus my wallet, my phone, and a revolver.
If I am dressing up, I slim things down a bit, so as not to add bulges to my profile.
But do you carry handcuffs?
Man i love pocket watches. They have Timeless Style, they dont bother you on your Hand ,they fit nicely into any pocked and dont bother you in any way
I wonder in how many European states carrying knives is illegal. Knives can be very handy for opening packages and preparing some food on the way. However, most seem to carry them for personal defense, which is exactly why they've been banned from many places and yet knife crimes are quite common in some places...
Only the Uk, because they are insane. Its totaly legal to carry a knife with you in the rest of europe, with just some very special knifes beeing outlawed.
Its also pretty hard to imagine a frenchman without his Opinel.
Wait, does Germany still have those antiquated "no swords but knives are okay" laws? If they did, people would probably still be carrying 3ft "knives" around lol
I've found it's easy to be minimal while maintaining a lot of practicality.
A small, quality knife will serve you well for cutting most things an average homeowner may encounter. I dig the small models Spyderco--very light, but incredibly sharp. I also have a small Victorianox 5-function I keep in my watch pocket with a small screwdriver carabiner from Nite Ize clipped to it.
A good torch from a company that you won't find in a hardware store checkout line is a great tool and good investment. Streamlight and SureFire make some of the best handheld lights available. I like the EDCL-1T from SF and ProTac 1L from SL.
A company that makes holster clips for firearms called Discreet Carry Concepts makes a pocket clip called the Mod 3 that is great for attaching your keys to so they don't sink to the bottom of your trouser pocket.
For pens, I have a small Levenger pen clipped to the inside of my wallet fold. It's an excellent, albeit small writing utensit that pulls through when the waiter forgets your pen
He needs a flintlock to keep rufians at bay
An outstanding EDC video. My briefcase for work and a messenger bag for travel provide substantial space for needed EDC items without having to put them in pockets of coats and trousers.
And, thanks for the color descriptions of your clothing at the end of the video--it's helpful for those us who have a color vision deficiency.
I was with you until I noticed the LA Fitness membership card on your Audi car keys.
Al Capone forgot his Tommy Gun
This was supper classy! More videos like this please!
The idea of EDC without a knife and a handgun is foreign to me. Carrying these items also requires a different approach to dressing. You are not likely to wear a vest if you are carrying a handgun, unless you are carrying it in a shoulder holster.
That's because from an American point of view it IS foreign. A handgun is unnecessary and illegal in the UK and many countries in Europe.
EDC has way different meanings for some of us I at least expected a shoulder hostler for his Wather PPK
Guns, switchblade, flask and a roll of 100 dollar bills will do?
DeadManRising you must be a good tipper at the gentleman’s club. I’d sit behind you, all I carry is a roll of $1 bills.
I like your style Sir.
The Leatherman Squirt is nice because it's really small but very handy. Just remember that you can't take it on a plane because it has a pocketknife.
I like your edc but the first thing that goes in my pocket everymorning is a knife. Most times a more traditional knife because I’m not an FBI agent but they are very useful. I also cant go without my watch and normal keys.
Eustace King my knife, watch, and leatherman are my first
In order from first to last
Knife, usually my kershaw leek
Wallet
Phone
Austin Holliday I used to carry a leek, now I'm all about utility knives. Milwaukee fastback is my current carry, I even got one for my girlfriend. Honestly a knife is the most useful tool anyone would carry.
D0NtPh34rTh3R34p3R personally i love spydercos
Honest Dave I love Spyderco’s too! My favourite is the military.
Chewing gum, a CRKT M16 and a rubber is all I need. And not necessarily in that order.
First thought: A model 36 Smith & Wesson revolver.
Highly recommend a key chain sized torch for the EDC. Very useful if you have to walk home at night or are normally in dark locations.
Whenever I go I always carry swiss knife and bigger knife on ankle, also I have few knives in my car and even a sword
I started watching these videos, thinking I would learn something and be able to improve, but the more videos I watch, the more I realize that most of them just state the absolute obvious and sometimes even seem a bit cringey!
I suppose key for a gentleman is to prepare and consider a few well chosen necessaries before going out.
In pockets, comb, lighter, small knife, wallet, phone, cable.
On belt, keys, a knife and a small pouch
Containing another knife and lighter, charger, power bank, string, toiletries, flashlight, emergency blanket with hand warmers, spoon and a P 51 can opener.
I live outside a small town and walk a lot.
And yeah, sometimes a wee .45
Sven, my friend. Your videos are a welcome breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Where I live every day carry means something a bit heavier!
Brilliant dance moves and I loved the video
lol, thanks!
@@gentlemansgazette a genteleman can't say lol
@@gentlemansgazette did I just witness a gentleman say 'lol, thanks!'?
Lindybeige
@@raskolnikov7049 Yes!

5. USB drive
6. Pens in my breast pocket
7. Pocket watch
8. A concealed firearm

My EDC is concerned with everyday survival as I work a great distance from town. This is a great video, keep up the good work.
You forgot about the CIGARS :-) GREAT VIDEOS THOUGH! Keep them coming!
Younger generation needs to watch this great gentleman's tutorial
OMG I have the same phone as him. I now feel special
as a teacher with the UN that worked in multiple countries in Africa. I can tell that the most important thing in my EDc is a big piece of cloth. A shemagh or similar item. followed by a water bottle, flashlight and cash as it is hot there, frequent powercuts and the lack of power and cash is king. this followed by a pen and then a knife, which is then followed by mmy least important thing earphones and powerbank portable charger
I always carry a 2oz pocket knife. It's long and thin, so it's very easy to carry.
sirblackstone but why?
I carry a pocket knife (benchmade 940) a pistol (glock 43) a pen (benchmade 1100) pocket notes, a wallet, my phone, and a small flashlight (olight mini baton)
I've found that an exploding pen, a solid laser equipped watch and a compact Walther can be absolutely essential at certain family gatherings.
I feel the need to clarify something. Not all micro 4/3 cameras are point and shoot. In fact the overwhelming majority of them are DSLRs. Developed a joint venture from Lumix (Panasonic's digital camera brand) and Olympus. The G and GH series are DSL (I'm currently using a G6) but the have also made the S series which is the world first full frame m4/3 mirrorless DSL camera. Anyways it goes the 4/3 are not a downstep. In fact I have owned 3 Lumix and 2 have been m4/3. I prefer them overwhelmingly to Nikon and Canon and they take just as good photographs if not better.
Raphael - You forgot to mention your "spare tire". You're carrying that around too. Hahahaha!
Firearms have a long history in the United States. While that history has been complicated by changes in law and culture across different regions, fashionable carry has been a thing. I'd love to see Gentleman's Gazette dig into that history and look at some modern options.
You forgot to mention your horse called Simba
Wallet, keys, folding knife, ballpoint pen, handkerchief, wristwatch, small black pocketcomb, smartphone, lighter, hammerless snubnosed J-frame revolver. Every day.
EDC ´ s presented as its best. I would recommend wireless earbuds as they are easier to transport. You can get some not too expensive from Sennheiser with a decent sound.
A shame you are not too much into wristwatches, your style would be perfect for a Cartier Tank or, as a link to Germany, a Nomos Orion. Best regards from Germany, Konstantin
Sennheiser in-ear are some of the best headphones, better than most of those priced much higher, including full-ear.
Mister B I’ll never understand the appeal of the Cartier Tank. I can’t stand rectangular watches
For evening I also carry my cigarette lighter (Dunhill Rollagas 1974) and cigarette case with B&H Menthols + some 120 Ladies Cigarettes. I don't smoke but most of my friends do, and the Menthol is a go to cigarette for young people if they smoke or vape. The cigarette case has a mirror inside for the ladies if they want to check their makeup (it is actually a woman styled case). It's a classy move to let ladies use the mirror, that way they have the option of going to powder their nose. The cigarette case goes in your right hand inside jacket (Sport coat) pocket. Always retrieve the case with your left hand, open as you pull out of pocket, you won't drop it this way, and when you present it, the case is already open. You do not have to use two hands to open the case. Present the case and your partner can take the cigarette they want. Then close the case as you put it back into your pocket. The lighter is in your jacket left hand pocket. If you have a tailor you can have a small lighter pocket to house your Dunhill (it has a very small footprint) sewn into the jacket. You want to be able to handle and light cigarettes from a sitting position without having to dig into your trouser pockets and be able to retrieve relatively quickly compared to everyone else. To get good at handling your case, just practice while watching TV or listening to music. Then it will come naturally. Understand that cigarettes are not taboo in many places around the world.
If you think you may go to an upscale cigar bar then carry a cigar lighter and cutter. I like the triple flame lighters from Calibri (guys are really impressed how well they light a cigar). I carry these in my trouser pockets.
Absolutely awesome info for EDC, however one thing that was left out was a back light source, not sure if this was mentioned in other comments, but a small LED light device similar in size of a chap stick container would be a great back up light source if in a building during a power outage. Love the wonderful content of your videos, please keep up the great work and best od luck to you in the future.
you can find car key casing with one inside to replace the original one. not for all brands/models though. 😗👍
Guess it's a good thing I've never claimed to be a gentleman. Essential EDCs for me are a knife, pen, multitool, wallet, and flashlight. I got tools in my truck and have learned methods to improvise to solve some problems as they occur. This is a quality channel, but the term, "dandy" comes to mind as I watch these vids.
"You'll look dapper" wears styles from the 1940's.
I use the mini Victorinos as a keyring. it have an screwdriver, a knife, a nail file, a toothpick, plyers and scissors. I think I use a function or more a day.
My everyday carry is a Springfield Arms XD-9 mod 2 Compact with a 13-round magazine. Occasionally I will carry the Tactical version with it's 16-round magazine and longer barrel.
therealxunil2 Springfield Armory
Springfield XD 45 full sized service model with light and laser attachment 16 round capacity. Karambit folding knife, wallet, keys and phone...cheap digital watch
Coffeeaddicted Lunatic same bro working on getting the 3.3 xds
Ohh bet you use it all the time
I would highly recommend a tiny AAA flashlight by Maratac, Olight or Lumintop. They are super handy when you drop something under your seat on the airplane, or have to read the serial number on the back of a server.
go a little down on the exposure next time, video's too bright. anyway appreciate the effort you put into quality videos,thanks
Respect on showing a Microtech in this vid
you dress from the 20s conduct yourself as though your in the 20s but want a futuristic electric car? why not an older 40s Hudson rebuilt to your specs??
Well he did say he disliked the interior. As soon as they release a model with brass steering wheel and chesterfield seats, he'll be straight down the dealersmith.
I like your choice of colors and you dress petty classy but can you please suggest some things which one can wear normally without looking too unnecessarily decked up?
LA Fitness has a membership card feature in its app. So that's one less thing to carry on your key ring.
I just don't always bring my phone to the gym
But the serious lifters go to Gold's. ;)
the gentleman's description of the smartphone is the best part
By far the best EDC video (and you are always by far the best and most classic style guru I thoroughly get the most joy and knowledge from)! Your EDC is nearly identical to mine, even down to the floss, lip balm, handkerchief, hand lotion, nail trimmers. Wonderfully detailed and useful quality stuff!
thanks!
No handgun ? No knife ? No flash light ? No lighter ? No first aid ? No mint or gum ?....THIS IS SOME MAJOR MAN SLACKING
“Skip the backpack because it makes you look like a school boy.” Hard disagree. Backpacks are less bulky/more ergonomic than their alternatives and they have more capacity. Even if they look bad, the utility gap is too enormous to ignore in my opinion.
this is more about suits with a suit it looks really bad
There's a really good rhyme if you're a forgetful person as you go out the door:
Testicles (pat groin)
Spectacles (pat glasses) - if you don't wear specs maybe pat your keys or something
Wallet (pat pocket carrying wallet)
And watch! (Tap watch with finger)
"Testicles, spectacles wallet and watch" - works every time.
YOU FORGOT A QUALITY CONCEALED CARRY HOLSTER AND PISTOL
And maybe a cigarette case....
My EDC carry includes a flashlight and not some wimpy penlight. I have a small powerful, 240 lums flashlight that goes pretty much everywhere I go. Its small enough to fit in the pocket easily, and bright enough to light up a room if needed, and its adjustable lens lets me focus the beam where I need it. Also of note, is the time of year, in fall-winter, and early spring when it gets dark much earlier than summer, having a flashlight is essential. The rechargeable batteries are essential, while not technically part of the carry stuff, they do make it easier, having several sets to keep charged for easy swapping when the current set goes is a life saver, and make the whole thing much easier.
I also carry a knife with most of the time. The knife of choice these days is my Kershaw, Its small, has assisted open and has a mixed blad the end of it being a straight blade, while it has a section towards the handle that is serrated, for jobs that the regular blade won't do. And ist cheap, In price, not quality. I chose a low-cost knife for everyday carry because if you lose it, or have to lose it, Its only 20.00 at Walmart,. Point being If I lose a knife I don't want to lose a 100.00 knife, I'd rather lose 2-3 20.00 knives then one expensive knife.
Also these days, I've started carrying an extra USB cord, and a wall very small wall charger with me on long days. Being able to plug into a port or my charger to keep them S7 Edge alive is essential.
