Everyday Carry: Phantom

Phantom limbs, phantom hauntings, The Phantom Menace—all things to avoid. But this collection of dark-as-night EDC picks? Run to them and embrace the darkness as you upgrade your everyday carry for 2022. Your pockets, wrist, and eyeballs will thank you.  

Bell & Ross BR S Black Ceramic Phantom Watch

If you’re looking for a watch that blends in, give Bell & Ross a miss. With their bold and squared-off aeronautics-inspired style, they don’t do ho-hum. The matte black ceramic case of the Black Ceramic Phantom sports a black PVD bezel. Topped off with a black luster dial and a polished ceramic bracelet, this is one stealthy watch that likes to stand out.  

Dango T-01 Tactical Wallet

What we love most about Dango wallets is their refusal to be “just a wallet.” Heck, a rubber band can carry around your cards and cash, but it sure can’t cut paracord, open a can, tighten a bolt, or pry a nail. The USA-made T-01 Tactical can. And it does it all while holding 12 cards secure so you can pay for that next round. 

Garrett Leight Hampton X Sunglasses

At some point, the look of an item reaches an iconic, timeless state. That state for sunglasses was achieved years ago with the black wayfarer style. But that doesn’t mean future interpretation should not be attempted. Matte black and meticulously crafted by Garrett Leight, this 10-year anniversary edition of their Hampton shades do the classic style justice. 

The James Brand Carter Knife

Whoever said, “don’t sweat the small stuff” wasn’t a knife maker. It’s the considered details that set The James Brand apart in each item they design. With the Carter, those details are an electric green thumb stud, the perfectly honed drop-point blade, and an ambidextrous slide lock mechanism—all of which add up to become your new favorite everyday carry knife.
