    Not as “flashy” as the posts with like fancy flashlights knives and fun pens, but this seems like a genuinely super useful set of items for day to day items- great edc!

    I’d love to see the rei bag, I adore cross body bags regardless of whether I’m presenting more masc or femme. Also love rei lol, co-ops are great and the folks there are always lovely

      Thank you! I am always curious about what other people have in their bags and pockets. REI is the best!! Unfortunately I got my bag over a decade ago at a thrift store, but I did find a similar one on poshmark. Mine is an earlier iteration of this one with a stitched logo, but everything else looks the same. It’s indestructable, the only wear is the coating on the innermost pocket is beginning to peel, and the printed design on the front has faded off.

        I mostly just meant a picture, but a link for folks who might want one is even better! Its a great looking bag, seems super versatile- I’m glad you’ve found something that serves you well 😊

    I wish a men’s satchel was more common place. (at least where I am) so much more space to carry practical items.

    Have you ever used the needle and thread? It seems useful, but I’ve never had that situation.

      I hope you feel up to rocking that satchel sometime! It’s unfair that a lot of masc folks can feel limited in how they dress/accessorize.

      Yes, the needle and thread has come in handy twice, once a button popped off, and a friend’s skirt seam started splitting in the back. I actually need to reload some black thread.
