67 Everyday Carry Wallet Options and Items for Men

67 everyday carry wallet options and items for men featured image

In simple terms, a man’s everyday carry, or EDC, are the essential items he takes with him wherever he goes and might include wallets, journals, or sunglasses.


These items vary from one man to another. In my case, where I have to keep tabs on my company’s progress, you’ll be sure to find a laptop and a mouse pad in my tote bag when I leave the house. I love how easy and convenient it is to hold virtual meetings and respond to inquiries about Popov Leather, regardless of my location.


In reality, functionality is key when it comes to a man’s EDC. Since we don’t carry purses, we have to decide what’s essential and leave the rest behind.


What’s great, however, is that you can mix and match your everyday carry depending on your environment, task at hand, adventure, or hobbies.
 

Let’s take a look at some examples of what items you can carry in the subsequent paragraphs.

Did you know? Besides money, wallets in the 19th century were used to carry dried meat and items considered secrets, treasures, or those that simply couldn’t be exposed. A wallet was carried on the belt since carrying it in the pocket was considered highly uncivilized.
