My EDC 12 years ago

September 25, 2026 • 12:09pm

Just stumbled on an old Tumblr post with a photo of my EDC (every day carry) from the 7th of December 2013:

  • Then: iPhone 5. Now: iPhone 15.
  • Then: Longines Legend Diver. Now: various watches, but I still have the Longines (though considering selling it)
  • Then: Tom Ford FT5178 glasses. Now: Still have these glasses, but I don't wear them. My prescription changed and I fancied a thinner pair. Currently wearing some Gucci frames.
  • Then: Hard Graft iPhone case. Now: I used this for years. But modern iPhones got too big for it. I now have a rubber case on my phone and a separate wallet.
  • Then: Fisher Space pen. Now: Still owned, but it's a bit small and uncomfortable to write with. My default now is the uni-ball Jetstream 101.
  • Then: Remove Before Flight keyring. Now: Still used! I purchased a pack of five of them and I'm currently on my third one I believe.
  • Then: Field Notes Expedition edition. Now: I still love Field Notes and have used them on and off down the years. In fact, I currently have two on my desk as I write this (see photo below).
  • Then: Dog tag. Now: still owned, but no longer in use. It was a bit cringey.
