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.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
