So the saying goes, “always bet on black.” And though that might seem cliché, it also happens to be correct. Black is classic, reliable, and always looks good. That doesn’t change when it comes to everyday carry, either. Chances are nearly 100% that, if you find some really excellent EDC gear, it’s all going to be available in a black colorway. So, who are we to argue? Sometimes, it’s just better to lean into it – especially when it comes to stylistic tones that work this well together. If you’re looking to add some new EDC gear to your pockets, but you can’t quite decide what look you want to go for, you can never go wrong with onyx, obsidian, pitch, ebony, jet, or whatever else you want to call it. Black is a sure thing, every time.
