Everyday Carry Essentials in Leather
Wallet, key holder, card case, notebook cover — the four leather pieces that carry a normal day.
EDC leather is defined by contact: it is handled dozens of times a day, so its material shows fastest.
Wallet or card holder
Choose by card count; both patina fastest of anything you own.
Key holder
Ends pocket damage and key noise for the price of a lunch.
Notebook cover
Turns a disposable pocket notebook into a decade-long object.
