The Fall Buying Guide | 12 Items to Add to Your Everyday Carry

As the season changes into fall, it's the perfect time to review and re-assess your everyday carry. The weather is starting to get colder, you're starting to dress warmer, and that means more pockets that let you store and keep your gear handy. With that in mind we've put together a list of both fresh releases and tried-and-true EDC essentials you can add to your fall loadout, covering your bases from your pockets to your pack.

Dango MC01 Titanium Money Cli

While Dango understands that minimalist wallets are on the rise thanks to the increasing popularity of credit cards and contactless payment, they also know that cash is still a day to day reality for many. The MC01 Titanium Money Clip is a dedicated storage option for securely carrying your cash while remaining as thoughtful, lightweight, and resilient for EDC as the rest of their offerings. Thanks to titanium’s springy properties, the clip can expand to carry up to 50 bills or shrink to carry just one without losing its shape. But if all that space isn’t enough, you can also opt to add a silicone band, giving you extra space for about 30 extra bills or 10 plastic cards.
