How you carry your EDC when you wear slacks?
on: June 13, 2017, 07:31:37 AM
If you wear slacks (normally for work or occasionally for a wedding, a formal dressing event) and so...

For me, the key is to downsize it.
I can't carry a full size MT

I refer how to carry ON YOU.
I do not refer to carry a backpack or your 12 wheels truck :D

Thanks

My carry:
Keychain with keys, little SAK or MT and flashlight
Minimalistic wallet with alox SAK 1 layer, pen
Smartphone

I just carry a Swisschamp, or LM Sidekick in my pocket, they are both minimal in comparison to my usual carries. I keep a surge, bit adapter, etc in the car should I need it so it's not far away.

Being lucky enough to wear cargo's or walking trews to work, this doesn't often arise, but when I HAVE to wear smart trews I'll downsize my SAK to a SI, but still keep my bladeless MP400 on a belt pouch. I'll pop my work phone in my wife's handbag if poss because I hate it.  :D

Micra or single blade folder and now the Fenix UC02SS on the keys. Keys also have a Doohickey on them.

My office carry is usually a small MT or blade.

ie
Vic Cadet
Vic Classic
LM Micra
LM P4

Gerber STL folder
JRP Toucan
Boker Keycom

On the keychain is NiteCore Tube light.

Some days I will carry a bigger MT in the office but it is mostly for fidgeting and to change it up.


But I also carry a laptop bag to work which is loaded.

What is more incredible, is their ability to locate any item, every time, in no time at all.  !!!

Or, give you instructions were an item is in the bag without looking. !!!!

Totally amazing

I think the main point raised on this thread is Hammer Space - where can we get some? I offer a prize of my lovely modded Woodsman 'Greenwood' for the forum member who invents and shares Hammer Space with the rest of us.

Nate and I are used to storing certain objects in chaos warp dimensions, but more often than not they get nicked by some lowly demon or we forget where we put them. A practicle solution would be gratefully received.

More or less the same way that I carry things every other day. I just move the pen to a shirt pocket, leave the tactical knife at home in favor of a traditional knife or a nice thin Douk Douk, and if I have a full size multi-tool it's a SOG pocket power plier in my right back pocket.

It's when in a suit or tuxedo that things get interesting.

I'm beginning to suspect you are a trickster god RoSchro - I imagine I will send you my stuff and it will strangely 'disappear' never to be seen by me again, just like when I gave my old cross red Farmer to Loki for safe keeping and my 1891 Officer to anansi. Never saw them again  :facepalm:

I've downsized my carry considerably over the years, and until not too long from now, I have been wearing slacks five-plus days a week.  The breakdown for my pants is as follows:

front left pocket - cell phone
front right pocket - Big Skinny Card Case wallet, SAK of the day, and occasionally, gum
rear left pocket - handerchief, Gerber EAB (when not on lab coat)
rear right pocket - keys suspended from Victorinox belt hanger

My dress shirt breast pocket holds a Fisher Pen, glasses cleaning cloth, and a notepad; sadly, I am going to be switching to scrubs soon, where I won't even have a place to put my phone or keys, or much of anything else, so we shall see how things go. :/

Normal day: a Rebar, PocketWrench, Compact and folder and/or CRKT Minimalist, with comfy shoes

Dressy day: Skeletool, Dohickey, Rambler, with pinchy shoes. :(
