What do you carry in your pockets everyday no matter what?

Nothing - nothing at all directly in my pockets. I can't stand to even have a penny in my pocket. But, I always have a knife with a pocket clip in my right pocket hanging from the clip. I can tolerate that since it doesn't ride in the bottom of my pocket.

Also can't stand any jewelry or watches - not even a wedding ring........

I'M the same way!

I found a store that sells a quality "copy" of the superlight Columbia supplex vests, and I have FOUR of them! This suits me as I carry 24/7 and this hides the gun/badge/spare magazine, but also offers multiple pockets I carry my wallet, keys, sunglasses, cell phone, pen(s), checkbook, etc. in.

By having four, I can wear one everyday and have another still in the plastic from the cleaners, and keep two at the cleaners at any one time.

I can wear a watch IF it's light-currently wearing a Suunto Vector daily, BUT I have to pocket it if I get really hot/sweaty/etc.
 
Whether I’m at work or off-duty, I always have a knife, and a pen. Wallet, watches, and phone’s are a given.. But a knife and pen are my most used.



This pen is no slouch.. It can do some serious damage if need be ;)

 
Here's ONE variation.The knife choices change frequently,but I always have my Fisher & PD20.

The only thing i always carry everyday no matter what is my iphone 4s. My knife doesnt always get to come.
 
ZT0560, Victorinox farmer, lighter, flashlight (Thrunite T10, and a cheap photon type light right now) phone and a bandana. I'll typically have a Izula too, but some days I don't take that.
 
Spyderco Endura, Resilience, Kershaw Blur, or CRKT Carson #M4-02S Stag.
Wallet. Everything else is either clipped to the belt, cell and keys etc.
 
Watch, pen, flashlight, swiss army card, wallet, lighter, phone, keys with a leatherman cs and streamlight nano attached. 2 knives, currently my pimped 0561, and sprint pm2:D knives do very, but everything else stays.

My wallet is my semi emergency kit. In it is my P-38, Sears keychain screw driver that deals with flat and Phillips screws and light prying, a safety pin for splinters and whatever, two paper clips because they are good quality wire for a lot of uses. The cut down Eze-Lap diamond hone touches up my knife anywhere. The wallet also has my makeshift note pad from a folded up sheet of paper and trimmed down to business card size with scissors. A pencil stub is used as it doesn't go dry, doesn't run, and can write on a wide variety of surfaces. The graphite can be scraped off and used as a dry lube for locks and fishing reels in a pinch.

My keyring has a Vic classic in a leather sheath for easy use without the keys attached, a Bison capsule with some aspirin for arthritis issues. The Fenix E01 just gets dropped in my right hand pocket with whatever is the pocket knife of the day.

One of these usually does pocket knife duty. Case damascus peanut, GEC number 15, and a Sardinian Resolza.
 
The knife always changes. But everyday there is the phone and the wallet. Everything else changes daily.
 
-Cell Phone
-Razor sharp folder
-Box cutter (With 10 spare blades)
-Bic or Zippo lighter
-S&W Galaxy Elite flashlight
-Inova XS Flashlight
-MONEY!!!
And when i'm extra prepared on a trip, Pen, paper, multi-tool, and my little EDC Bag with a bunch of goodies inside ;)
 
Left Pocket : my Delica ZDP189 clipped to it - plus Car & House Keys plus loose change and in my right pocket my
S&W Model 60 W/+P's in it ---- not all that much but what I carry will do the trick.*
 
If I have pants on then I have the following. Been carrying these things for probably over 2 years.

RFP: Benchmade Rift clipped, keys w/ thumb drive and pen, Bic lighter (don't smoke), sunglasses cleaning cloth, mini sharpie, pill fob with pain meds
LFP: Leatherman micra, Swiss tools mini pliers, Spyderco Salt 1 with cash under clip, change, EagleTac D25LC2 flashlight clipped
RRP: Wallet, 30 mW (verified) green laser
LRP: Samsung Galaxy S3 phone (or in a cargo pocket if I am wearing shorts that have one)

IWB (11 o'clock): Sig P290 w/ laser and 8 shot extended mag with a clipdraw 'pocket' clip - this was a KelTec PF9 w/ pocket clip for last few years up until about 2 months ago
IWB (1 o'clock): Another knife that I rotate so they get used since the Rift is always present. Lately it has been a gray sprint Para 2 but can be anything from my collection

Sometimes I will also have headphones, chap stick, bandana, Sunglasses if it is daytime (Either a pair of Smith, Costa, or Maui Jim - all are polarized with glass lenses). Also always have a Baseball hat on if I leave the house. Also have a backpack when I leave the house that is basically a BOB with too much to list but stays in the truck.
 
When I'm going with the very basic, I carry a folder(Black Para 2), phone, wallet, and keyring with an Arc AAA. For my regular, every day EDC, I would also include my LM Wave and Surefire 6P LED Defender.
 
Knife (currently I'm actually carrying a buck 143 on my belt but whatever)
keys (even if I'm 1000 miles from home without my car I gotta have my keys)
cellphone
wallet
Bic lighter
a deck of cards (I'm a magician)
and often times gum

I also like to have a pen, but I'm always loosing them.
 
Case peanut, always in my pocket, and most of the time it's the only knife i carry. A P38 and a Sears 4way in my wallet. Keys have a peanut lighter, a ptx brewzer, a vic classic, tu telepen and a photon freedom.

And I thought I was alone with this. I just can't believe the pics I'm seeing in this thread with the amount of stuff folks have in their pants - makes me sweaty just looking at them!

I'm going to have to check out those vests - thanks!
 


CRK CF Sebenza 21
Victorinox Officer's Automatic Watch [not pocket but EDC]
Victorinox Pioneer (Black Edition) [came with watch = awesome]
Wallet
Keys [Leatherman PS & Photon Freedom Light]
Iphone 4S.
Pen

...My next big EDC purchase will be a Benchmade pen. Who needs "luxury" watches or pens when you can buy goods made from knife companies!
