WHAT'S IN MY POCKETS 2020 - EVERYDAY CARRY/EDC FOR THE STYLISH CHAP - THE GEAR I CARRY EVERYDAY

[@BigbubbaJ1000]

Did I miss the bit where you talked about the pocket knife ?

[@TheChapsGuide]

No.... It was in my original post, but I was asked to remove it by my present employer, who thought it was inappropriate that I was seen to be in possession of a perfectly legal item on this platform (I work in law enforcement).

Lovely video Sir. I'm in mid forties and gravitating towards minimalistic but high quality stuff. Gave up my iPhone Max Pro and settled for a 12 mini and love it - just feels like my first iPhone 4. Similarly contemplating sizing down to a classic smaller wrist watch from a 41-42mm pieces with me now. Wish I did this earlier which would have saved me some sizable cash. Better late than never!

[@TheChapsGuide]

I'm on a similar journey - I've been running am Iphone 12 mini for a year now and can attest it is so much more manageable than those chunky models. Also, 36mm watches are the classic choice, chic and timeless!!

My parents gave me a set of Parker Pens and propelling pencil when I started High (Grammar) School in 1968 and to this day I still use Parker Pens, if they work for me why change brand 👍

[@Fanakapan222]

Also an idea to carry a few cards with your name, address, phone and email. saves faffing when you have to get stuff delivered, or are leaving stuff for repair etc, and are useful for those brief encounters. Good quality cards from online printers literally are as cheap as chips these days :)

[@TheChapsGuide]

Great shout - I usually do have a few in the wallet. Ash

[@EDCCooperative]

Lovely video there. Great to see a Swiss Army knife making the cut. We appreciate a good hank as well, love the adage, one for blowing and one for showing...

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks, it was good fun making it - I didn't realise how much thought I'd subconsciously exercised when I selected the contents of my own pockets.

[@EDCCooperative]

Many people don’t know the term EDC, yet they still do it... it’s good to have a label for it, but it is very subjective, what works for one may not work for another, none the less, it is good to see other people’s.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Just viewed a few of your vids - very interesting, I feel my new interest in this topic may cost me some money - I've just joined your list of subs, thanks for the advice.

[@EDCCooperative]

Why thank you matey, it is always appreciated. Yes, it can be a bit of a rabbit hole when you start looking at it all, but, as i say, it is very subjective, it is great to be able to give things a go and see whether they work for you, improve your life in anyway or just simply look pretty.

For a wallet I have a Coach smaller, thin wallet that is very comfortable and high quality. I'm not sure if you can get that brand in the UK though. Lots of options for quality wallets though. I use fountain pens too, but with an italic nib as it improves my handwriting greatly. Lamy is good, but you know there is much better out there. Pelikan is my favorite for fountain pens and I own 70+ pens. Black n' Red notebooks are what I use, very fountain pen friendly paper weight. Great video!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for the ideas. I have ordered some R & B notebooks to try them out.

[@leonardgoffe7159]

I'm a big fan of EDC, but those UK laws!!! - I had the 6s too, but the battery life went away, you should check out the SE instead, same form factor as the 6s, but updated tech. No need for a 12 or 13 and their price points. The SE is $400 US. Brand new works perfectly.

[@augustmay444]

I would have recommended the Stirling Billfold wallet with 6 card compartments from Ettinger London but you already made your purchase.

[@JimWillShave]

I wish I could wear snazzy shades. I'm limited to my prescription varifocals. I use the Moleskin for recording my home crafted ale recipes

[@TheChapsGuide]

I cant think of a better use for any notebook!!

[@anthonygebala1198]

Great video i have a pair of prescription club masters for reading. I also have a pair of kyusu sunglasses that look like the club masters and can recommend them. I got mine at boots opticians, half the price of the ray bans and great quality.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for the tip, I have just been prescribed reading glasses for the 1st time, so that information is very timely.

[@michaelmclaughlin7328]

Loake make very nice wallets, which retail at £35. I was lucky enough to get one free with a pair of shoes as a promotion.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for the tip - I'll look them up. Ash

[@MisterBurtonshaw]

Ha! Same knife, same phone and same make sunnies... I've gone for faux-torty Wayfairers though, but fancying those clubmans...

[@TheChapsGuide]

They are nice - a gift from the wife in my case

[@MisterBurtonshaw]

@@TheChapsGuide might have to invest in a pair... I also had a black pair I pinched off my wife who bought them in NY in the 80s... proper Bosch & Lomb lenses, pre being sold to an Italian multi-national... can't find the damn things.

[@guitarplayer5611]

Nice video!

[@archie2archie]

Meeting a Lady in distress. When did that last happen?

[@robhowell4424]

My wife got me a carl fredrik for my birthday once I now have 3 of them haha they have great customer service too with awesome life time warranty hand made in Italy business owned by 2 brothers in London

[@TheChapsGuide]

Ive just had a look at their website - love them - I'll be exploring further, thanks for the tip!

[@jasonf.9862]

Hi, does that 5000mah power bank really charge you apple notebook? The laptop's demand on wattage and power don't seem compatible with that tiny bank. I mention because I carry a huge 24,000 mah bank in my bag and that barely charges my Samsung S10+ 4 times, let alone the small MS Surface Go. If I'm missing something I want to know. Thank you. Good job on the video.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Yes indeed, it really easily powers my 2018 Macbook Pro.I did have to buy the required adapter for the cable, but it works a treat. At least doubles the length of timeI can use my LT away from a power source - well worth the very modest cost.

[@liquidvic]

Couldn't make out the badge what Constabulary were you?

@@TheChapsGuide MPS here retiring 2026. Started building my own Rolex collection with the Explorer. I do enjoy your channel 🖖

[@pepepower2687]

Das Offene Meer wallets are great.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thanks for the tip. I've checked out their website and they make some interesting kit. Thanks again.

[@kieranheathcote7655]

I enjoy your videos very much Ash, but I'm not sure you understand the correct meaning of the word 'Eponymous'.

[@TheChapsGuide]

My lexicon has indeed failed me many times - life is a learning game.
