My Upgraded 2018 EDC - The Best Wallet & Perfect Gentlemen's Luxury Pocket Knife + A Favourite Rolex

[@markuss2496]

Hi TGV - where can we purchase the Valor nato strap?

[@theurbangentry]

Here you go! shop.theurbangentry.com/collections/nato/products/tgv-valour-n-a-t-o-strap Thank you and wear it with pride, onwards and upwards. Best regards, TGV

[@markuss2496]

Thanks a lot for your quick reply! Finally a nato strap for my Bond Seamaster Midsize! ,-) Oh and by the way - thanks for doing such remarkable videos! Utterly amazing to watch!

[@petershallis2294]

It's all about quality, in every aspect of our lives...the feel of the brushed steel of a pen, or the sensation of top grade leather. I'm an English boy who went to a Comprehensive school.. I love football and I love ballet, I make no distinction between high and low culture, for me it's all about quality in our acts, deeds and choices. Life is short...we may as well get it right.

[@theurbangentry]

Peter, now that really is PURE CLASS! Thank you sir, proud to have you among the Gentry. Best regards, TGV

[@s2001-q9g]

One of the best youtube comments I’ve ever read.

[@kent7315]

How strange, my Wife and I returned from our 26th wedding anniversary trip to Paris this week and I purchased three of the same 9cm Juniper wood Laguiole knives. One for me and the other two for my adult sons as a souvenir from our trip. It's good to know that I have the same taste as the Urban Gentry! Enjoy the videos, keep up the great work.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Ken, your wife obviously has exceptionally good taste ;-) Enjoy it my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@Rz4rect0r]

Save a life, bin that knife!

[@ruta130radio4]

How good feel a nice guy talking about what he likes in good vibes in the internet in 2018, no hate, no trolls, just a relaxing video with good tunes, also you can learn something, thank you. also great to see another member of "i still using mp3 player in 2018" yes, i use one too "Fiio X1" but i had a Sansaclip too haha have a nice day

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you for the lovely comment. Onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@ruta130radio4]

Yes sir, you are right. Its easy to carry, lightfully in the pocket, or like you in a good bag, just in the first listen you can hear the difference, how good reproduces the FLAC files at 24 bits, awesome. Actually iam using Audeze iSine10, the planar magnetic tech is really surprising, the voices sounds better and the mids are powerfull, iam reallly happy with those one and how good can the player move it. I never tried Hifiman but have a good reputation, iam sure that are great. Greetings

[@downriver6434]

I just received my Carl Friedrik wallet, I absolutely love it. Thanks for the introduction TGV!

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear Winston, enjoy it! I smile every time I use mine, I am sure yours will serve you well for many years. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@fire_watch7735]

As always, what a great video. Your channel has had captivated with watches for a couple of years now and your contributions to the watch community are wonderful. Thanks for your efforts and keep the passion going for this wonderful pastime going strong. Regards, from one of your Global Gentry from Canada!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Tim, extremely kind of you to say and I am deeply honored to have your among the Gentry. Onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@fire_watch7735]

Thanks TGV... Onward and upwards. You made by day with this video as I home recovering from a cold/flu today and I needed a pick-me-up!

[@PedroRocha-uo8mg]

Great video TGV as usual. I got to say that I've throughly enjoyed the items featured. I've been a watch collector for a couple years now and I find that The Urban Gentry channel is amazing not only to the great watch content that you present us with but also due to these type of videos. My father has had lots of Parkers in the past and still carries one with him to this day. In his honor and incited by this video I've bought my first Jotter today. Keep up the absolutely great work and best of luck to the future. Best regards.

[@Roughdraft214]

I love these videos. So interesting to see someone who carries a lot of the things I do. Pen, knife, nice wallet, nice watch, etc.

[@joepratt610]

TGV - love your introduction music, classical all day long!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much sir. Best regards, TGV

[@Shiro128b]

Little late to this party but streamlight now makes a USB rechargable version of the microstream now. Multi mode (hi & low) No gold colour but it is available in black, red, & blue. I believe MSRP is right around $30. I carry the same one you do, have for many years now. It's is, how to put it, well worn. Yours looks brand new compared to mine.

[@Finutanslask]

$115 is not that much. When I saw it I thought it would be like 5-10 times that. And it's also a nice gift for someone who get "everything".

[@AndrewHeisey]

Doubt you’ll read this months out, but I’ve had a lumintop copper tool aaa flashlight for a year now. Great little flashlight that develops a beautiful patina over time. Clip not needed because it’s tiny

[@isabellacammalleri8489]

Great Video Tristano ! I was hoping to see an EDC update . What a beautiful knife ! The Tradition ,thoughts ,work and time that goes into such Traditional things is priceless so we need to support such things but also not exclude "more modern"things in our lifes .I have the same struggle finding the middle betweeen classy ( and traditional ) and tactical .Best greetings from Germany . Alex

[@619bamberg]

Great EDC! I’m sure I’ll copy one or the other thing ;) Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos without ever asking for anything - unlike most other youtubers... No clue how you do it. Watching your videos always lightens up my days (especially my lunch breaks haha)! Keep up the great work; all the best from good old Germany

[@zhanelsh5857]

Your new sunglasses look much more stylish, timeless, modern, expensive and luxurious! They perfectly match your face shape!

[@downsouth1678]

that pocket knife is so beautiful , its definitely a hands down generation

[@waltski4375]

Odd question but are folding knives with blades exceeding 7.62 cm (3 inches) legal to carry in New York?

[@mrg1911]

Everyday Carry includes a Wilson 1911 .45 Auto Love your reviews TGV!

[@lukegatewood5423]

And I am sitting here at 1:10 am, with $1.16 in the bank, wishing to be this well put together in the future. Top notch EDC.

[@aseamin2529]

I ordered a cognac Carl Frederik wallet yesterday Love them

[@johnprice909]

Glad you went with the Lagiole knife without the corkscrew - now you'll have to buy the matching corkscrew on it's own! And now you've got me wanting a Lagiole knife. (I have the corkscrew from them - mine has an Olive wood handle - smells wonderful). Ciao, John

[@Minntality]

For a flashlight recommendation that isn't so tactical but still very high quality and perfect for EDC check out Muyshodnt flashlights. They do copper and brass gold-tone that may be exactly what you are looking for. Keep up the great work TGV!

[@cassandraohara3134]

Do you carry these knives with you in NYC or London and rest of UK? Do you know about their draconian backwards laws?

[@LetsRVtv]

The Folomov C1 in brass may be one you might like. Also Olight makes brass EDC flashlights.

[@polarroller4848]

Smart move droping the old knife for the laguiole. This has much more class, has the shepard's cross, unique bee spring, way classy Tristano. I own several, one is Damascus steel with ancient Thuya burrowed wood. Unreal craftsmanship. I have one of their cork screws as well. A true gentlemen's pocket knife. Kudos on your re-vamped EDC!

[@polarroller4848]

Be careful when purchasing a Laguiole, there are only a few genuine importers of this knife brand. Alot of knock of fakes come from India & China.

[@SumD-EGuy]

Just so you know, that knife is illegal in NYC. So be careful, the law is insane.

[@willashton5222]

Wait what?

[@Aegir616]

@@willashton5222 NYC has absolutely draconian knife laws. I think they prohibit locking blades and blades over 2". I'm not 100% sure, though.

[@mikemantho9426]

Great video, Tristano, love that knife especially. Try the Lumintop triple A lights, they have a beautiful one in brass. Very lightweight and quite bright.

[@JVardy1]

For a small flashlight, or "torch", check out the Maratac AAA. They have several color options and are very durable and reliable.

[@djmfowler]

Wouldn't have had you down as a DnB head! Should be an Urban Gentry playlist on Spotify!!!

[@Draknareth]

I highly recommend Olight for something a little more elegant as a flashlight. They do various models in raw copper / brass / titanium etc. So the brass would probably go quite nicely with your signet ring and what not.

[@conradsmith9332]

How do you clean / sharpen your knives? Nice video, thanks.

[@ryandespain5804]

If you're looking for a new flashlight look at the lumintop AAA tool in Titanium. It is my favorite but they also have brass or copper to get that gold look you're looking for. Pluss they are even smaller and have three intensity levels. Pretty affordable as well.

[@jellyg.8961]

Lovely options for edc. Never have tried those Sennheisers earphones but I own a pair of Sennheiser on ear headphones and they are one of the best sounding headphones I have tried. As a headphone/earphone fan I can tell you there are a lot of incredible options for earphones at low prices, and I mean less than $10 with amazing sound. The pair I mostly recommend is the Panasonic RPHJE120A, they come in a variety of colors and cost from 8 to $9.99. The sound is well balanced, mids are excellent for every kind of music and highs are not piercing like many earphones, however bass isn't very strong. But for that price you can't complain. Other good options come from a Chinese company (don't start to cringe lol) that makes great earphones with decent quality and sound. It's called KZ (along with its spinoff QKZ) and they have a plethora of earphones available, currently I have two models, the ZN1 and the ED2 plus I had two more in the past that I gave away. The sound of them is really well balanced, mids are very good depending on the music and for being earphones they have great bass. All them have cost me less than $10 bucks from direct chinese pages like Ali and others and have been heavily used without any problems. Hope this helps some of you that want great stuff on your ears without breaking the bank!

[@neilziesing7761]

I first read about Laguiole in a short story by Hemingway. I bought a Laguiole waiters knife (with corkscrew) about twenty years ago. The corkscrew broke in a synthetic cork, last year, so I bought two replacements from France. As for pens, being of German heritage, I am partial to Rotring. Thanks for an enjoyable video!

[@lewisbennett7006]

I've been running the brass Maratac peanut light on my keychain and it's been doing wonders. It comes in around 125 lumens and uses a rechargable battery. They also have a slightly larger size that has somewhere around 250 lumens. The lights are tiny, so I'd definitely recommend them for EDC

[@addisonbulloch6639]

Hello TGV, the Mad Men reference with the gold tone Parker Jotter, very pleased you've watched that show! My brother Richard (Canada) who you gave a shout out to in your live video awhile back, introduced me to your channel. Huge fan of your content, your character, passions, and hobbies. Have a great day!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Addison, I am deeply flattered. Welcome aboard my friend! Best regards, TGV

[@ssvs0485]

Our styles are polar opposite, probably because I’m a working class guy and go more tactical. But you come off as such a likable upper class guy I still enjoy your show and what you have to share.

[@bpkey123]

The Rolex GMT ii batman is discontinued. Is there any alternative watches that resemble the same black/blue bezel look. Maybe at different price points too. Thanks!

[@AY-xu8oy]

Great video - when you said the blue for drum and bass you reminded me how truly English you are! took me back to the 90's!

[@AlexM-iy8jd]

I know it's not gold, but for a classier light in the same size/form factor, check out the Thrunite Ti5T. I have the larger version (Ti4T), and carry it more than any other light. Hope that helps.

[@Losersluck_]

The streamlight microstream is my favorite light as well. In case you weren't aware, streamlight just came out with a micro usb rechargeable microstream.

[@EDCAdventures1991]

For your flashlight look up the Olight i3s eos cu. they make it in a matte brass version. It’s a lot brighter than the streamlight around 100 lumens at the brightest. Has 3 light modes. I do Gear testing for them and I definitely stand behind their flashlights. Anyways great vid. Take care.

[@anthonydeltufo7668]

I have a brass Prometheus beta qr flashlight. It has the gold you're looking for and is very high quality. It also will attach to a keychain and it runs on only 1 AAA battery.

[@Arkathtoo]

In regards to a more refined flashlight, I believe something like the 'FourSevens Mini ML-X Brass' might just be your cup of tea. Although I suspect trying to get a hold of one might be tricky.

[@obelixsud]

Hello TGV, i think those will suit you. Greetings from France - light : Fenix E99 Ti E05 - knife : Scott Sawby (maybe a Kittiwake Nacre) - pen : Nakaya (maybe a common Bluebottle)

[@IgnacioFabbiani]

Does someone know where can i buy his exact chain 18:43, because if you search for a rectangular box chain in google it doesn’t apear that style, i want to know the real oficial name or a store that sells them

[@marcushosmer1856]

If you want to upgrade the light, look at Prometheus. They have a AAA in much dressier options.

[@recklessdat]

great videos as usual !! olight mini baton s is a great little edc light !! awsome features small package and im pretty sure they have one that is goldish if not definatly brass and woukd look great with tour new knife!! keep em coming!!!

[@fazepatrok5509]

Where did you get the crucifix?

[@Bryce3007]

Great video! One of your previous edc videos introduced me to your channel and your love of watches. I now own ten watches myself. Thank you.

[@MrMikeyboy333]

The coast A9R rechargeable is a good light. More elegant than the streamlight. I own a number of coast lights, they are by far the best flashlight I have ever owned. The lifetime warranty is nice also.

[@lukeybaby45]

Great video, thanks! If you're still looking for a gold torch, I can recommend Klarus. I have the mix5, which is tiny as a AAAA light. Even though the batteries are an odd size, they are plentiful, and I got some energizer brand ones which are decent. I've had it a couple of years now, and the finish still looks great, but I do only carry it in a pocket with a handkerchief in. If you want to stick with AAA, they have an mix6 model. Hope that helps!

[@RamSkirata]

you can take a look at Thomson tactical belts: US made, pure hadcrafted by an indivicual craftsman and the quality is superb. Also the price is very fair, lessen then some of the "fashion" belts cost. Its Gun belts primarily, for concealed carry, but the quality was so good that people demanded "normal" belts as well so he started making them, too.

[@dominicmichaelraj]

Great EDC video, TGV. Over the past 3 EDCs, you have gone from a tactical look to a more polished look. For example, you mobile case, starting from the Survivor series case to the Lunatik case, and now to a leather case.

[@KK-VLOG]

Hello TGV, I noticed that you cut your nato strap. You can put the end of the strap between two coins cut it in arch and then keep it between coins and burn it with the lighter. You gonna end up with a nice finish almost like it was done in the factory :)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Kamil for the tip. Best regards, TGV

[@KK-VLOG]

You're welcome :)

[@jimrichards7014]

Good idea!

[@FourIntoOne]

Genius!

[@Truth_Warrior]

You would probably like one of the flashlights that CountyComm carries... they come in copper, titanium, etc... either in AA or AAA.

[@jashoo8597]

Love your colour matching leather goods. Now that my phone batt dies so quickly and the memory used up quickly, I do see the need for portable media player.

[@todshuls3521]

New subscriber and new to the hobby. Out of all the "Watch Channels" I enjoy your presentations the most. Traveled the world with the Navy for 30 years and always admired the watches I would see while overseas. Could never justify the cost on a Sailor' pay. Long story short I recently experienced a death of a friend who was only 47 and was always talking about all the money he was saving and things he was going to do in his later years with his money. The day after I found out about his death I took money out of my savings and bought a new Rolex Submariner with date from a local Rolex dealer. It's everything I thought it would be. Thanks to you I have recently bought a Seiko SKX007. Keep up the good work.

[@MrEunderwood]

If you're after a little flashier yet still affordable torch in a gold tone have a look on mass drop. They run brass and copper AAA lights by a company called lumintop and they work wonderfully. Not to mention, j believe they have double the output of the streamlight with high-med-low settings and they are smaller to boot. Seriously..have a look at them. I believe you can find them on ebay as well.

[@danunit2628]

Hello Mate, Loving the content. Recently a new viewer of your videos due to being suggested to watch you particularly and you do not disappoint. I am just wanting to ask, I have just picked up my appreciation for watches and looking to start off my collection but Mainly to start in different areas of the watch world. Any Suggestions of what and what not to look for? I am currently in the Market for a Seiko "Cocktail Time" as my basic dress watch, as it has been the most appealing watch i have seen to date. Muchly appreciated any tips or reply you offer.

[@AS-nr2kx]

I think you might like the lumintop prince mini as an edc flashlight. It's kind of tactical-looking, but on the other hand it looks very refined. It also runs on a normal AA battery, which i personally prefer in comparison to something like 18650s.

[@h3xa-12A]

My question is where do you keep all of this on your person?

[@darklight-mu2gl]

Hi TGV currently i use nitecore tip ss with usb charge. small and light. thanks for the videos

[@Monsoon1030]

You just earned my sub with the mention of DnB on your MP3 player :) Well played sir.

[@s550hex4]

Lumintop make some excellent flashlights in copper or brass. The copper ‘Tool’ is very bright and gets a nice patina over time.

[@scottgabrielli]

Hello TGV, while maintaining a collection bigger than 3 watches is a out of my price range, I have bought and sold quite a few flashlights and knives. AAA flashlights are my favorite flashlight segment and feel it is where your EDC is weakest. Check out the Maratac AAA brass to complement your EDC and Great Eastern Cutlery for highly collectable traditional styled knives.

[@romanhaunwak9192]

Hey TGV, don't know whether you've found an elegant torch already but you can find nice pieces when looking for "diagnosis lamps" (don't know how they're called in english). Mine is nicely engraved with a latin phrase. Those lamps are comfortable to carry, just like a "double sized" parker ^^

[@erickbeeify]

Try the olight baton series. They are always coming out with crazy colors and different metals.

[@slrobinson3]

Hi TGV. This really is a long shot, but I seem to recall seeing one of your videos where you briefly mention polywatch and show a tube to the camera. I've been looking all day for the video to find out what you were saying about it. If you could direct me to the video it would be hugely appreciated. Thank you for your help. Steve

[@rolexkings7747]

I've got several Pheonix straps and material wise they're second to none and they're standard issue for military - the grey one anyway - but I do inter-change my straps regularly and I find the holes in the straps are slightly too small which easily causes wear and tear and damage.

[@jaspreetsinghanand]

That's quiet a cool collection.Love the amazing wallet.if I may add two things to it that every vintage watch collector should have is a classy fountain pen maybe a lamy 2000 or a pilot metropolitan and 6 inch boots maybe Thursday captain boots or timberland 6 inch'ers. After all just like vintage watches for fountain pen and boots have been around for quiet a few centuries and just like vintage watches they are still around and shall always remain in fashion..cant go wrong with both.

[@zjplusa]

I've been really happy with my Copper Olight 13T eos. I know it's not brass, but its definitely a little more classy than the black, and its very similar to the Micro Stream.

[@NightmareMan83]

I’ve only just found your channel, thank you very much for an insight into your life.

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Thanks TGV. My everyday carry consists of tools for survival, with a handgun at #1. That's a nice knife but the paracord could save your day sometimes.

[@SchollZee]

Hey TGV if you want a smaller brighter flashlight look into the Olight S1 mini. I know they have a copper toned one I'm not sure about gold.

[@mattburbich]

I would highly recommend the Maglite solitaire. 50 lm LED. Occasionally you can find one in gold at Walmart. (Although I think on the Maglite website it is officially listed as orange) Only $10 too. I carry the black one every day. Phenomenal little light. I think every once in a while the company releases a special edition yellow gold version. Probably do pop up on eBay from time to time.

[@georgenikolov6763]

Love the videos , been a long time fan. You have gotten me into this hobby but today i wanted to ask you a different question. You might get this a lot actually. Do you wear any fragrances and if so, what brand or smell do you prefer? Have you looked into this hobby and are you considering it at all?

[@johnviano2312]

Hi TGV - Thanks for sharing your EDC. I've had my eye on the Laguiole knives but was unsure where to buy. I just purchased a knife from ProperMoose and I'm looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for posting this video! Best Regards, John P.S. Hope you are faring well in that Nor'easter!

[@AHJames-vm7zj]

Look up copper or brass flashlight on Amazon,,, so many quality choices brother.. The olights have been flawless for me..

[@DoctorJ1337]

TGV just make sure you never carry a folding knife in New York City. You can, and will, get arrested if you are caught with it. Even the Laguiole might be a risk despite its pure class. Great video as always.

[@dcc2176]

Great entry TGV. Interesting as always. Out of interest - did you get an Apple Watch? I'm so curious about getting one but really don't know if it would be of any benefit?? Would love the hear your after thoughts. DCC

[@badger7950]

Check out Olight for a copper EDC light. They make some pretty good lights. Although, I have two of the Streamlight Microstreams because they are the perfect pocket flashlight.

[@Aegir616]

Hey TGV, check out the I3T EOS torch by Olight. Its about the same size as the Streamlight, but far nicer. Higher output, variable output, same battery, and it also has a gorgeous copper variant that will patina beautifully.

[@jonathancole8062]

O-light makes many different micro flashlights. In various metals. Really elegant looking ones. Really bright and durable. I have the S-10R baton lll. Great edc light

[@ama770016]

TGV I own a small keychain flashlight. I looked online and they are very inexpensive. I purchased one at harbor freight tools for a buck and surprisingly it's come out very hand...who would have thought...

[@jeroenbillion6629]

I recently bought a new torch myself because I wanted a brass one. While browsing some tactical looking ones I came across the lumintop IYP365 and I absolutely love the look of it! As a bonus it's also really cheap and does a great job!

[@azathoth1890]

This guy is actually a man of culture , memes aside 😂

[@Viktormajstor]

[@malcolmcederbaum7379]

What do you think about Vincero watches? They look really nice, but they've got bad reviews. Still considering one though.

[@Acepilot81441]

I’ve got to say your EDC setup is just Pure Class!! If your looking for a flashlight to match I would recommend checking out a company called Lumintop. They make some really high quality products that look fantastic at the same time.

[@JohnDoe-bm5lp]

I love your special videos (I mean non watch stuff, although I enjoy all your content :D )

[@haakonfisher2260]

Brass Olight s1 baton... check them out. It is costly. when compared to the Streamlight. I am a huge Streamlight fan as well, but my new EDC is an Olight s1 baton. I use the black and blue accent one, but they come in other metals and will also go up in price and weight due to that.

[@RonnieMosher]

I love and carry that light myself. When I’m in a suit, I use a black Foursevens Preon P2. It’s simple, elegant, and very bright. Seems like I remember a gold one too.

[@Basha12b]

Have a look at the Prometheus Lights Beta-QRv2 in brass if you want a less tactical light

[@rudolfsix6158]

How does the laguiole perform? The grind seems horrific, especially considering that you are used to a mini grip!

[@vincentperez1738]

Olight makes some of their s1 mini baton flashlights in brass I believe. Also, if you don't mind, which battle did your ancestor fight in? Thanks for the content and I really enjoy your videos.

[@xironbeastx8677]

Olight makes a brass mini thats 600 lumen, you can find it on amazon for about 50$ and they are pretty manageable in the pocket, highly recommended

[@davidw5388]

Hey, TGV! Awesome video as always but I'm curious why you would need to bring a knife to formal occasions...? Do you bring them for your spontaneous killing spree or something?
