You also shouldn't sit on your wallet because it can cause back pain. The wallet, especially bulky ones, causes your pelvis to shift and creates a curve in the spine that can cause pain as well as potential sciatic nerve pain.

Great video Kirby. If you love fountain pens, a great daily carry is the Aurora 88. They are elegant and light. And they are equipped with a variety of different nibs including soft/flexible ones. I am a young menswear and fountain pen enthusiast who currently study in Berkeley. Thanks to your amazing work, I have learned a lot from your KZitem channel. Since you are talking about your daily carry here, I’m quite interested in seeing you talking more about your writing instruments. Thanks! Best regards, Byron

The briefcase you have is more like a large ladies purse. Just my opinion. Take a look at B&H video. They hand carry bags can be used for photo great or business gear. I use one of their bags. It is black and has a nice style. I have a tooled Western wallet and it has never destroy the pants I wear. For my passport and Global Entry I have a 25 year old passport wallet I bought at Banana Republic. Which I love. I just feel that you must own things that are always an expensive brand. The one item agree with you is that I prefer an Apple Phone.

Love it Kirby. I can’t stand anything in my pockets either. I have an Italian made soft leather shoulder bag which has a zippered rear pocket where I put my wallet. It keeps it safe as it’s close to my body. The front flap as a zipper section as well in which I place my phone., the flap is easily opened and has two compartments, the front has pen loops and is where I carry my Astell & Kern high resolution music player and headphones. ( I carry two pairs, one for when I’m on the train, the Bose ones you have, they are a marvel for cutting out extraneous noise and don’t sound too bad at all and my higher end pair of in ear monitors for when I’m in my favourite old fashioned coffee shop here in Vienna which is quiet) The rear compartment contains my iPad Air and there is a padded small zipper compartment where I carry my house keys. I never like to have anything in my back pocket, far to easy for pickpockets I find. Wonderful video once again and if your ever in Vienna please drop me a line, the coffee is on me!

Excellent video, and I feel comfortable because we share nearly congruent notions about what should constitute everyday carry. One significant difference: I was raised on the notion that a gentleman should always carry a knife. Of course, that can get you into difficulty at the airport, and I confess to having lost more than a knife or two to confiscation by very vigilant TSA people, and that’s why the Victorinox Classic SD is my “weapon” of choice. With its single blade, nail file, scissors, toothpick and tweezers, it comes fully loaded for most purposes, and I’m only out $15 when airport security discovers that they’ve got public enemy number one in their sights. One last item: I’m a native German speaker, and your pronunciation of Leuchturm is only slightly more jarring than someone running his fingernails down the blackboard. Thanks again for a highly insightful and informative video
