Reliable Fall Everyday Carry - JD (@swallahmedia)

I think this carry is very appealing. The handkerchief’s warm burnt orange accompanied with the Toast Knuck’s unique color really give it the feeling of fall, almost as if the temperature is declining and the pumpkins are already out. JD (@swallahmedia) didn’t give much of a dialogue about his carry, but you know what they say; one picture really is worth a thousand words.

Stylish Western Everyday Carry - David Langston (@dlangston711)

I personally can’t say I’ve ever seen something branded with John Wayne’s name. Maybe I’m 60 years too young, or I’m not watching enough old movies.

Another Brass and Black Carry - Brian (@a_bcd_photo)

Judging by how often we see them rolling in, brass and black carries are quite popular — likely due to how good the high contrast colors look together, the abundance of both shades of gear, and the way the brass will patina over time. This carry from Brian (@a_bcd_photo)…
