Mythbuster Adam Savage Drops the EDC Two Bag (and It’s Just as Good as the EDC One)

Famed gear guru and former Mythbusters host Adam Savage is at it again, but not with blowing things up, per se. Instead, he’s exploding outward onto the manufacturing and merchandising portion of the EDC gear scene with another everyday carry bag. And this one he crafted with the consumer in mind – it’s smaller and cheaper, yet still retains the same tool bag aesthetic and utility as the EDC One.

The EDC One, made in partnership with San Francisco-based company Mafia Bags, was overwhelmingly well-received when it launched in November 2017. Constructed out of upcycled and salvaged sailcloth, this carry-all bag from Savage Industries featured everything a guy needed when storing and transporting their essentials easily from one job or location to the next.

Savage Industries’ EDC Two is still made in collaboration with Mafia Bags, still inspired by Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 12 McDivitt purse, and is still very much a durable tool bag, boasting the same virtually indestructible sewn recycled sailcloth as its predecessor.

Now available in white (so you can see your tools) and a sleek black, the EDC Two is also going to be an unlimited release, so you won’t have to worry about not being able to get your own. The bag is downsized into three pieces of fabric, weighs just over a single pound, and is even more versatile that its predecessor, featuring a pencil holder, web strap, and a wide spring steel supported clam-shell mouth.

Along with these bags, Savage Industries is also selling plans for both constructions, so you can go out and sew your own creation.

Sewing looks harder than it seams (we had to go there), but Savage Industries makes it easy for you. Besides, finishing a product with your own two hands is quite the accomplishment and sewing your own bag will save you money in the long run. It’s easy to see why Adam Savage hopped into the merchandising environment, being the craftsman that he is.

Now, you can head on over to adamsavage.com and pick this puppy up for just $145. Or maybe it’s time to get sewing on your own creations and start selling your favorite design of an improvised EDC bag someday.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches
These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.

Legendary designer has a project coming up you may not know about
Legendary designer, Tom Ford, is writing and directing a film adapting the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

Tom Ford is a name that every fashionisto knows well. He is the top of the top when you talk about famous suit makers. He began his career changing the landscape of multiple brands, including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own self-named brand of his own in 2005. The brand has remained a mainstay in the industry for the last 20 years, including the acquisition of Estée Lauder in 2022 for an estimated $2.8 billion. For the movie buffs in the room, you also likely know about Tom Ford because he became the exclusive tailor and suitmaker for Daniel Craig's James Bond for Quantum of Solace in 2008. He carried that gig all the way through the series and defined men's style for two decades.

Now, for the real cinephiles in the room, you may also know that Tom Ford himself is a movie buff and entered the industry as a writer and a director in 2009 by directing A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Then again in 2016 with Nocturnal Animals with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Shannon. Of course, the wardrobe was stellar in both, and we will get a chance to see his talents onscreen again this fall with a new Anne Rice adaptation, Cry to Heaven.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge
Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help
Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend
