  1. I just don't understand the ranting from people that don't understand EDC. It's like the people that say you can go to Target or Walmart and get a pair of jeans that look almost the same as Samurai's. Not a perfect analogy, but different people value different things.

    I have been carrying a skeletool, leatherman wave and knife before I found about this thread and they have all been very handy throughout the years. Just everyday, it's nice to have a sharp knife to cut boxes, open packages, cut up fruit. The multi-tool especially the screwdriver has been used many times to fix little things that break, removing small screws, the Wave even has an eye glass screw driver, it's that small.

    Because of this thread I've started carrying a flashlight and several times this month its come in handy. I was with my friend going up to her apartment and the light in the hallway was out, so I could easily light the stairs. At a bar, someone dropped their keys and they got kicked around, so I lit up the floor to help find it. It's also nice to have it handy if you are looking for something in the back of the closet or under a piece of furniture.

    The whole idea with EDC, is to carry useful tools to help deal with unexpected problems. We of the superfuture ilk, believe something functional can also be well designed.

  2. ^^It's only pricey when you consider that most raw RRL Denim retails for $210-225, so it seems like a big jump to $450.

    The denim looks nice, but for a hundred less, one could get the SamuraixBiG 710BK Black Knights or the Iron Heart 9301 Slim Super Black, which is a 22oz black denim. Granted the Black SEXIH07BK were about the $450 too, so maybe that is a better comparison

  3. beatle demands FC pics, so i humbly ablige. gotta keep the ladies happy, especially the jersey-girls;). teaser now,more later when i get off work, it's fucking 6AM...here's for you beats!

    I didn't enter this contest so I haven't been following the thread, but what the fuck did you do to the right side your jeans that warranted that repair?

  4. Where is there a Taco Bell, Sansom Commons? That place is a rip off. There used to be a KFC by 45th and Market, but that place was shady as fuck. The only Popeye's close I think of is on Woodland around Gray's Ferry, although I think I'd prefer to go to the Gallery on the El

  5. I might get shit for this like I do from my scientist friends., but idc...

    When I need to carry something in an airtight container, I use one a 50ml Falcon Tube. They hold about 4 tablespoons of dry tea leaves, should be enough for a day, are sterile, air and liquid tight, float and for me are free :)

    Of course, it holds 7 regular cigarettes. In a pinch, I suppose one could hypothetically use the conical end to grind up pills on the upturned lid, but I wouldn't know anything about that...

    Since this thread is useless without pics:

    Hey EDC thread, I has a question:

    Those capsules => I need something for stashing my loose leaf tea... enough to get me through the day only and I think the capsule would work. Googling gave me Bison branded ones? What is the biggest reasonably sized capsule like container available? (Tired of carrying zip lock bags full of leaves). I don't intend to carry it in my pocket so little restriction thar.

    && I think, branespload you had a Lamy safari in one of your pictures? I think I think? Or maybe it was someone else. Or maybe someone else could halps. Thoughts on the Lamy safari rollerball & replacing ink? I don't want to fuck up the thread with pen pictures lolol so link: http://www.lamy.com/eng/b2c/safari/318. It looks like the ink inside is compatible with most gel rollers (Sarasa, G2, etc)- I would like to shove some of this gel roller ink into the Safari. Them disposable barrels look way too peasant, and shit doesn't work with the rest of my writing tools.

  6. Thanks, soonami. Yeah, retail was insane, but I lucked out and found mine the one and only day that is was at 75% off. Find of the year for me.

    Yeah I saw one on sale at Opening Ceremony or some placed marked down to ~$500 but was XS or something

    Either way it's a great piece and it perfectly fits your style

  7. lildavid can post whatever he want because he always looks steezy as fuck. Even when lildavid or CMF are not posting denim fits, they keep the workwear and Americana aesthetic.

    This dude, though wearing a sufu approved brand--uniqlo, has a blah fit. Untuck shirt, sloppy chinos, like he just got back from a Vampire Weekend record release party...
