OTC was recently asked to contribute a photo to the British site Everyday Carry UK showing what our editor-in-chief has in his bag and on his person any given day. As bags and the stuff of life have always been a big part of OTC, we were happy to oblige.
While the sack may change based on need, style, and mood, what’s inside is fairly consistent. When we tried to edit all the stuff down to a manageable representation of gear, one item inadvertently left out of the photo was a fantastic Chester Mox wallet that keeps his all-important Metro pass secure. In addition, although out of view, the bag used that day was the Courier Messenger Bag from Frank Clegg.
This brief exercise reminded us of the many great brands, creative companies, and exceptional individuals we have met over the years. We have linked to a few of those brands represented here.

Where did you find the beautiful leather pencil case?
Is the Omas 360 a fountain pen or a rollerball?
David – It’s an old Levinger case.
Ed – It’s an Omas rollerball – more practical on a day-to-day basis.
