Everyday Carry Essentials EDC For The Modern & Discerning Gentleman + Top EDCs + My Pocket Dump

SHOP THE VIDEO:

So what does my EDC look like?

00:00 Introduction

00:47 First of all, I have a Google Pixel 2 XL because for me, as an online entrepreneur, having a quality smartphone is essential. Not only can I answer my email, but I can also run the backend of our shop, I can look into customer service requests, I can see how sales are doing, at the same time, I use it at home to either control my Lutron lights, to turn off my alarm system, to open my garage doors, as well as my doors, to check the water shut-off valve, or whatever else that is app-based these days.

So where do I wear it? Usually, it's in my chest pocket on the left side because it's slimmer than my wallet and if I have the pocket square on the left, it balances out very nicely.

01:26 For my main wallet, I use the very first prototype of Fort Belvedere wallets that is several years old, but it's in pretty good shape, and usually, we test everything extensively before we offer in our shop.
I usually wear it in my right chest pocket. If I happen not to wear a jacket or a coat without those chest pockets, I usually wear my wallet in my right back pocket and my phone in my left back pocket that way I don't have anything on the sides, and I find it more comfortable.

02:07 Keys are essential to most of us, and actually I only use them if I Drive a car or my bike otherwise it's controlled from my phone I don't like having all the bulk so try to have keys with as few keys as possible in this case just a car key or just the bike keys. If I wear a vest, I carry the key in there because you don't really notice it and you don't even feel it on your body if I wear a jacket I usually wear it in the side pocket and oftentimes there's a little inside pocket that is smaller that way it doesn't destroy your silhouette but everything looks neat and it's very easy to grab it at any point in time If I don't have a jacket with pockets I wear them in my right pants pocket.

Extended EDC essentials

03:08 First of all, it's probably the wristwatch. Most men like and wear them. Personally, I'm not a huge wristwatch guy I very rarely wear one if I want to have a timepiece then maybe I'll go with a pocket watch, but sometimes I just skip even that.

03:35 The second item is a business card case I carry it with me where I go because you never know who you're gonna meet and who wants to have your card.

04:12 The third extended item would be a handkerchief. No, it's not a pocket square but white linen or cotton handkerchief that you can wear in your pants pocket you can use it to rub some dirt maybe to clean up a spill or help out if there is no napkin available.

04:44 The fourth extended item is a writing instrument or a pen I usually have one on hand because sometimes you need to sign cheques or maybe give your signature.

05:12 The fifth extended item is a briefcase or a messenger bag. Traditionally gentleman would wear an attache case or a briefcase, modern gentlemen are more likely to have a messenger bag whatever it works for you.

05:35 Popular EDC's

Some men like to carry a pocket knife with them. They use them indoors and outdoors for all kinds of tasks.

If you're a smoker, you definitely want to carry a lighter but even if you're not, it may come in handy depending on what your everyday tasks and uses are.

If you live in a colder climate having a lip balm in your everyday carry is a wise idea because it helps you to prevent cracks in your lips, so you always look well-groomed and dapper.

If you're prone to getting your clothes stained, maybe having a little tide stick or a liquid stain remover is a great idea because it simply helps you to protect you from stains.

In case you're big into cigars, a cigar cutter may be a good idea just in case you walk past the tobacconist and you want that cigar right now.

If you're more of a handyman, a multi-tool such as the Leatherman may come in handy.

[MrTrenttness]

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.

[joshuabracke]

You forgot to include the most essential - the Walther PPK. A gentleman's handgun. For keeping the ruffians at bay.

[Moonmerism]

Reccomends 500$ pen
Uses 5 dollar earbuds

[MatthewJBD]

"USB charger too bulky" *brings paparazzi camera*.

[jonathanh]

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.

[chaliceflower]

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.

[william.darrigo]

Tip: listerine strips fit easily into pockets and don't rattle when you walk around.

[stuttgartmadness]

"I don't carry a watch because my smartphone tells time"
"Yes, a phone will take good pictures, but a massive bulky DSLR camera is much better"

[e.t.]

8:12 Be careful with that bazooka man, you might accidentally hurt someone.

[That_CopDude]

He seems like the type of guy to to Carry a custom engraved Luger 9mm...

[michaeldesanta]

*(German accent):* He forgot to mention his Papers. You must Always carry Your *PAPERS!!!*

[ryanlee]

do you not get warm indoors with all the layers?

[vincentiuskennaldy]

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 :)

[yudhibarchi]

I can’t stand this guy but I can’t stop watching his videos

[astokras]

Swiss army knife most important thing to have everyday

[anonnona]

Raphael, you forgot an important thing. Condoms.

[bushcraftnorthof]

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.

[ianchamberlain]

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.”

[RhezaMaulana]

"arguably you can tell time by just looking at your phone"

*gasp gentlemanly

[heckinmemes]

I just watch these videos for the comment section. So much salt, it's great.
