If You Need to Pack One Plaid Shirt, Pack Heylow
…t first. But if you’ve spent any time in the bag world, his work at Modern Industry and most recently as the Director of Product Design and Development at Tortuga Backpacks probably rings a bell. Years ago, Patrick envisioned that one day performance fabrics found in sportswear would make it to casual, everyday clothing. While not the first to make this transition, Heylow’s Out of Office Button Down (OOBD) is quite the formidable contestant in thi…

…e edgy/functional products. Our motto has always been “Classic Tailoring : Modern Function” and we will be flipping that in the coming seasons to: “Modern Function : Classic Tailoring”. Introducing more technical hardware and fabrics. Styles that reshape what you think of as a bag (see our SS14 Calf Sling Bag in the pic above).

9 Awesome Damascus Steel EDC Knives and Essentials
…riginal production process. Even though the traditional technique is lost, modern-day blacksmiths have risen to the challenge of making Damascus steel. Some of the more well-known names in the industry include Devin Thomas, Nichols Damascus, and Alabama Damascus Steel, while Swedish-based Damasteel utilizes a powder metallurgical process to create Damascus-patterned steel. While it is not created in the same way as traditional Damascus steel (and…

…product creation. The IT business is full of talented individuals and the industry itself is constantly changing. Minami felt that compared to the IT industry, product creation had more longevity as a business. Particularly, as opposed to products in the IT industry that are constantly being upgraded and changed, he believed the best business opportunity would be to work with everyday objects that have been around for a long time with little chan…
Interview with Ideal & Co – Living Heritage
…But the expectation of growth is real for the coming years. Like the shoe industry, the leather goods industry in Portugal is recognized worldwide. The best international brands produce in Portugal, the design and production quality of our companies are excellent. Plus, all of this is supported by the Portuguese tanneries which are some of the strongest in Europe, both in tanning with chromium and with vegetable tannins. Where do you source your…
Specialist Carry: Firefighter
…markets for ways they execute. The one I look at most often is the outdoor industry. In many ways it’s the most progressive, and the innovations in our industry specific markets, mil and fire for certain, come from outdoor bleeding over or being pulled through. Mystery Ranch is an excellent example of bringing outdoor innovation to industrial markets. How important are your base layers for pack comfort? We can imagine they’d rub… Yeah, they rub. B…
Outdoor Retailer Summer 2015 :: Recap Part I
…holding semi-intelligent conversations with the fine folks from the carry industry from sunup ’til sundown. Cheers, guys. 02 Boreas Gear Few bag lines in the industry are as distinct or focused as those from Boreas.

Building on previous lines we’ll be seeing two new packs for the Super-Tramp suspen…

…rands to differentiate. And of course, we have a very broad network in the industry. We work with several players in the industry to customize fabrics in-house. So we have the capabilities for brands to make a fabric that suits their needs. That’s what we try to do on a daily basis. “We have a standard portfolio of fabric and we can customize.“ What are you most excited about right now? Are there things that have just landed in the market or that…
Maker Series :: Bedouin Foundry
…S: Making in Britain was very important for me, our leather and bag making industry has shrunk to a shadow of its former self, so in a small way we hope to contribute to the survival of the skills and craft in Britain. I wanted Bedouin to be the best quality, have longevity and provenance, and use the best materials and components the UK and Europe had to offer. After much searching I found Paul and Cynthia, who have a workshop in Lincolnshire; he…

…ure set. As our carry world reacts to this new paradigm, all levels of the industry are working to evolve in different ways. Whilst the change is positive, it’s also confusing. The size, complexity and speed of new developments make it hard for even people in the industry to keep up with. And now every brand seems to have a new environmental wing – which is awesome! – but with every step forward comes the inevitable confusion and greenwashing that…
Osprey x Carryology | Archeon ‘Fūjin’ Rises
…we made to the collab: a Hypalon lash point on the front exterior. In the industry, it’s affectionately known as a “pig snout.” It’s subtle, but meaningful. A visual nod that sets this apart from the standard Archeon lineup—and a respectful tip of the hat to the designers who helped shape the golden era of outdoor gear in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Back then, lash points like these were everywhere. Today, you mostly see them on “heritage” packs, more for…

Design Heads :: Interview with Evan Hong of Incase
…t important thing you’ve learned about design and secondly about the carry industry? I think the carry industry has been largely affected by the consumer electronics industry. People have such a wide range of carrying needs now and as technology evolves. I get to design products for the latest and greatest phones, tablets and laptops. It’s pretty exciting. What carry product (of your own creation, or anyone else’s if you feel like being generous)…

…be quite new, but the co-owner and main designer Patrick has been in this industry for about four decades, so he really knows a thing or two about gear. The Defiant Hoodie is another jacket with a Schoeller C-Change membrane. But the external material is considerably thinner and more stretchy than the one used by ThruDark. It’s actually a kind of crossover jacket, between hardshell and softshell, but with a fully waterproof 3L membrane and fully…
What Makes a Genius Pack?
…ad stuff (brands or designers)? I try to keep my eyes and ears open to all industry movement, which is my responsibility, as I feel the need to be learned in my market area. To name a few of which I admire their design and branding: Tumi, Delsey, Travelpro, Prada and Incase. Are there any trends or things folk do in carry that drive you nuts? Not really. There are a lot of nutty ideas (products exclusively created for a very niche audience). Most…
Maker Series :: Rivendell Mountain Works
…he idea. What other makers inspire you? The really good tent makers of the industry have continued to inspire me. Tent design is as close to a combination of art and craft as any that I can imagine, and I find it inspiring and uplifting. A few examples would include the Sierra Designs “Mariposa”, The North Face “Oval Intention”, also Jack Stephenson’s beautifully engineered tents and some of the Walrus tent line. Bob Gillis and Bill Moss also stan…
Our Favorite EDC Flashlights
…reach customer service PK Design Lab PL2 If you have a discussion about modern flashlights, you cannot help but hear the name Paul Kim. Paul was the VP of Engineering at Surefire for 19 years, before departing. Rumor has it he is creating lights for tactical and armed forces applications, under the moniker PK Design Lab. However, some of his designs have reached the civilian market and the PL2 is one of them. This is a gem of a light. It’s a PV…
The Best Snowboarding Gear, Tested 2021
…le the flatter shape may be traditional, it has all of the benefits of the modern technologies we now see in snowsports. Excellent optics from Dragon’s LUMALENS® technology gives great color and depth perception to see all those lumps and bumps as you zip around. These are very lightweight goggles, and I didn’t have “face fatigue” when using them all day, particularly thanks to the padding and good ventilation. The lenses are quick to change thank…

…aller version of the Lowe Alpine Expedition pack. That would be fun to have for short trips. Maybe a JanSport Alpine Phantom which was a marvel of engineering back in the day. I’ve no real interest in modern packs. There are plenty of wonderful modern packs on the market today but I have no need for one and it is simply quite fun for me to use vintage packs on backpacking trips….

Also, it would be for someone who does not need to carry more than ten cards with them; a minimalist person.

Our bags are designed with the modern metropolitan individual and their demand for mobility and flexibility in mind,” it reads.

The Best Mechanical Pencils to EDC in 2021

Modern Fuel The Pencil 2.0 Originally launched on Kickstarter, The Pencil has gone through a few revisions and has now settled on v2. With a desire to create an heirloom piece, Andrew Sanderson’s take on the ubiquitous BIC Matic mechanical pencil is breathtaking. The pencil is carved out of a solid piece of metal and contains no plastic parts. Unlike some other custom mecha…
Is The Trakke Hoy Backpack the Perfect Heritage EDC?
…new 25L clamshell backpack live up to its predecessors in Trakke’s lineup? Modern heritage While the idea of modern heritage may sound oxymoronic, I can assure you it isn’t. Trakke continues to use luxurious dry finish waxed cotton from Halley Stevensons – one of the oldest fabric mills in the world – and their bags are all the better for it. The olive exterior is one of my all-time favorite colors, and I know from using other Trakke bags and slin…
