I’d say the no.1 thing needed for travel is infinite patience - especially with British public transport…

It's helpful to have a small power bank to recharge your phone in a pinch, and small packets of travel detergent to make your wardrobe go a little longer. Sometimes I will pack a small duffle inside my suitcase if I expect to return with more than I left with.

I love these EDCesque videos from the The Urban Gentry. They introduced me to the concept years ago. I still buy NB trainers!!!

Hey TGV, love your videos. Really gives me something to look forward to in the busy midweek and busier weekends! Keep putting out quality content!

I love these videos, some of my favorite videos of yours are the travel videos and essentials. Can’t wait to finish this, have a great day and Thankyou again TGV

These vids are a real staple of the channel! How about an update on that moody, early coffee video? 😀

Thank you TGV for such a short and sweet yet very informative edc video!! Stay healthy and well as always!! (Nicholas)

Thanks TGV! Always a pleasure, nice bit of kit you've got there. 😎

I really needed this, feels like the world is holding its breath right now and I’m glad to see something positive! Best possible regards and enjoy your well deserved travels!

I always look forward to see your edc and trip essential type videos.

Great vid!! Love your “not only watches” ones! Absolutely helpful and lovely presented . I just got back from a 12 day trip to northern Italy 💙!! Took 3 watches, but I wore only one of them, almost the hole trip-Citizen Promaster diver’s 200 satellite wave gps (super titanium). Enjoyed every second with it!! Thanks 😊

Great vid man. Love your channel. I feel like you've Leveled up in a way With this one.

Loves these videos. I always learn something new. I'm off travelling shortly, part work, part vacation, my main considerations are always footwear and watches. Definitely have a pair of shoes for the evenings, I'm a brogue man. Also, toiletries! Always go for the smallest, compact versions I can find.

Awesome video, and the shots of Philly are always welcome. Billy Penn statue, Delaware River… great stuff.

Outstanding video, very interesting. Very much food for thought. Loving the squale intro. 👏

I'm getting ready for a big trip (Paris, Athens, Cairo, Nile cruise, Frankfurt) next month - this video has come at the perfect time!

Amazing video as always!

Always love these more general discussions and you are clearly one of the most well-appointed gents I know! Well done, bro!

Good call with Loake, their brogues age so well. Great episode, just what a wet Scottish Saturday needed. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great travel information as always.

Great topic and some new accessories to check out. Love the channel as well. Cheers!

Always keeping the komboloi close! Nice! Great video T!

HOLY COW!!! I was JUST looking for a bag that would do what the bag you are holding at 7:19 does! Thanks!!

Another great video with excellent staples for travel. These days - I always travel with some emergency back up power bank. Its become an essential piece of kit for me.

Great video as always and very apt as I'm going on a vacation in a few weeks. The only thing I will be taking is my Osprey backpack my newly bought and very comfortable Reebok trainers and watch of choice. It might be my new microbrand diver, or my Seiko sto turtle, or most likely as mentioned in your last video my go to holiday watch, Invicta pro Diver. Choices choices! Super video and great insight into your travel needs. Safe travels my friend 👍

Keep up the cool content man, great stuff

TGV's videos on EDC and sartorial content = guaranteed greatness!!!

That I would stay so late in this video and see TGV have an essential "κομπολόι"... that made my day. Grazie mille for your videos man!!!

Good job on the retro handhelds. The Vita was way ahead of it's time and the original OLED screen model still looks amazing today. I have a pair of suede desert boots (much like your Clarks) in cognac from M&S. Another fave EDC of mine is my small Anker power bank which has got me out of trouble a few times.

Another great video brother 👏 a lot of fantastic options here!

Love the video! I go with a GoRuck GR2 34L pack, NiteIze and Vanquest packing cubes, Bellroy Tech and Toiletry kit pouches, Merino Tees and Henleys and 1 button down. Merino socks and boxers. I'm using Vivo Barefoot shoes (white leather pair and black athletic pair). Gore Wear R7 Trail rain jacket and pants, Montbell umbrella. NiteCore NB10000 battery chargers x2, Anker charging block. My EDC includes a bunch of different knives, but lean toward the Protech Malibu, Tactile aturn Rockwell, Spyderco Sage 5 lightweight. Torch is Reylight mini pineapple. Pen is Tactile Turn Side Click or Urban Survival TiBolt. I like a fidget and Lautie makes some great ones. Wallet is Open Sea Leather Topsider.

My "Meditations" is "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind." I have a copy in both of my bags, the day bag and the weekender. It's a must, and if I find myself sitting somewhere waiting, it's a far better way to spend 10 minutes than scrolling through lord knows what on the phone. Loving the look of that new CF weekender bag and have been on the prowl for the right bag for a while. The fold out feature is brilliant!

Thank you very much for responding and sharing the details…..❤

Brilliant, I love your watch content but it's always nice to see a bit of satorial content. Keep up the good work

Love it TGV, top man! 🦖

Great selection!

I would like travel with a TGV because I would then always know what I really should be having. Love these lifestyle vids as always!

I remember buying a sandisk mp3 player about 15 years ago, downloaded a custom rom which gave me more settings for the sound. It was the best MP3 back in time and for anyone who love micromanaging their songs and settings, it’s still the best.

Watch content is always entertaining, however I enjoy when you branch out to other areas even more

I don't travel these days without a little pocket notebook and a mechanical pencil. I use the back for some useful phrases in the local language which can be helpful in a pinch. As for the rest, I fill with general observations, interesting bits of information that I might want to look into further, or just to write about anything that inspires me! Great video as always TGV.

Love that Harrington!

A urban gentry video comes up. I click straight away 👍

TGV, I must say I love the splicing of the shot where your talking about the watch carrying bag. Your originally wearing the Tudor sub, but when you open the bag your wear the panda from Dan Henry. Nice shot I love your editing of your videos.

These are great. You never know what you actually may need until you realize you don't have it. These suggestions and tips certainly help reduce the # of items you shouldn't forget to consider bringing with you. And offer some clever solutions to problems that you may not actually realize that you had.

traveled with my TUG approved Squale 1521 recently to my wife's home country of Norway..... I felt well healed, set and very high class :)

PSVita love! Never travel without it.

Had no idea you had such an A1 video game collection. Even more respect for you now!

Perfect video as usual!

omg that MP3 player is something i remember! great sound quality!!

Still the best intro of all times! Love it!

Nicely done, TGV. Couldn’t be more appropriately timed as people are globally breaking travel records right now. Logistics and regulations are still trying to play catch up, but we are definitely on the up swing. I also travel with bluetooth/external speakers. Can’t be beat for certain situations. The waterproof bluetooth ones are the best. My son has been pretty adamant about the MP3 players. I may have to look into that as it might be quite useful. I hate taking up space on my phone and if I can’t stream music then that might be a solution. Completely agree regarding the Sennheiser earbuds. They aren’t a hugely known name in the US, but they are FANTASTIC. TGV and Tacti-COOL shorts. I never would have guessed! What man doesn’t live for pockets!?! I can’t wrap my head around the new “Fanny pack” resurgence. They say fashion is cyclical, but never did I think that trend would return. Funny how the original term HAS NOT returned! PS Vita forever! Mine is long lost. Have a Switch but miss my DS and Vita for sure. I love your Carl Friederich bags. Bit modern for my taste but nicely made. My gear gets utterly beat to death. For that I want something that is ABSOLUTELY and UTTERLY rugged. No frills, no luxury but entirely forever functional. For my travel roll aboard you cannot get a more robust bag than from LuggageWorks. 90% of all airline pilots use them, and there is a reason for it. Not cheap but will last you forever. For my personal bag I recommend Brightline for a flight/compartment bag and for something far more classic and nice look at Saddleback leather. Top shelf. Must get a copy of Meditations. Always, always dress well. I cannot stand this current “athleisure”, don’t care what the world thinks of me, ultra dressed down, travel in pajamas, utter lack of self respect trend, I fly in crocs mentality. Trust me. I don’t care who you are p, how you present yourself matters. If you look like you just rolled out of a laundry basket, you will be regarded less well than if you put effort in. Argue all you want, but it is a fact. America especially has been displaying a sincere indifference to attending to their appearance, and we are being looked at as simple tourists and low class by much of the rest of the modern world. Anywhere else you go (and I go most places), people put effort into how they look. This American trend of putting so much effort into looking like garbage boggles the mind. You don’t need to wear a suit, but wake up and try one something other than your gym clothes. *rant over* Look at Walker and Hawkes for extremely well made, classic, British brand, and made in Britain outerwear. Not modern at all. More gentrified look but excellent. Watches. Always fly with a GMT and a Wolf watch roll with three other pieces. Usually a diver for overnight casual wear, a chronograph or beater, and often a dressier piece just in case. Footwear, fly in oxfords or boots, normally enjoy Sperry’s for the layovers. Not a sneaker guy unless I am working out. Also, a big fan of Clark’s footwear. Gerber shard for those who fly and want a multi tool. Rotring pen. Always! Oakley Holbrook or American Optical for sunglasses. Timeless choices, TGV! Excellent video. Thanks ever so much! Hope your travels are safe and comfortable. I’ll see you out there. Onward and upward, my friend.

The intro is amazing!

Oh memories. I had Sandisk Clip+ about 10 years ago. Tiny little powerhouse with custom Rockbox firmware. I am a big fan of Air Max 90's. Something to do with school years in nineties and oh boy they were pricey then. Now days I have three pairs: surplus black/infrared, terrascape whites and basic black. Btw couple years back you made video about jackets. Arktis Avenger cought my eye and now I own one. Crazy utilitiarian but I love it. Love these videos. Keep them comming.

Tristan, love how you mentioned Stone Island sub-cultures! Of the football kind... Nice one fella. Love the videos. Have a good one.

Engineer in the maritime industry so usually travel three watches : a nice watch, a G-Shock and my running watch. For other accessories I swear by anker power supplies with two outputs. I recently upgraded to all USB-C power blocks which is really help with managing devices on the road.

Om Unit and Goldie on the SanDiscs, Good tunes TGV!

Two EDCs that I always bring with me when I travel is a power bank with built in cables and sanitising wipes.

I love coffee so I always take a few keurig cups of my favorite flavors (hazelnut, toasted southern pecan, bokar) in case the hotel room has a keurig coffee maker. May sound dumb, but I like my coffee! Great vid, TGV!

My flashlight recommendation is the the Fenix PD25. Small, powerful and you can swap the rechargeable batteries. I use it for my job and it is perfect.

Great to see a change of pace this was a great change in pace if I had a go to watch, I guess it would have to be my f91w and my Timex Expedition no muss no fuss and my dive watch does are my top 3 watches. I guess no matter what high end watch or more affordable watch. I seem to always have these 3 watches in my rotation more then any other watch they are just to comfortable

I love a pair of slip on shoes for flying, Chelsea boots or boat shoes or even cowboy boots. The easy off easy on though security is great.

The kippers nickers these! Made my day Legend 🙃

Great video, TGV! I noticed the Leatherman Style in your EDC lay out. Just so interested parties know, Leatherman does offer a more travel friendly version of the Style, the PS, which has no knife blade, and only a tiny (but still useful) pair of scissors, in addition to the other tools. I second another commenter’s recommendation for Tale of Knives for quality sheaths and organizers. Hoka One One makes shoes that do well for people that are on their feet most of the day.

Seiko Flighty is indeed the ultimate traveler's watch. Waterproof, with the second time zone, alarm, chronograph, sturdy case, and bracelet that can take the beating.

As a fashion photographer I always make sure I bring a power strip with me. I charge a lot of items lol. That travel bag is pretty nice. I may have to look into it.

Hey Tristano, I agree with you. Clarks gives you great value for money. I have 2 pair of Chelsea boots from them and damn... They are comfortable to wear. Whenever I travel, I always carry some hair pomade, usluay from Reutzel. Safe travels, O&U!

Tale of Knives or Hitch & Timber for a better quality organizer. You could also check out Chris Reeve Knives, Okluma, and Tactile Turn, if you’re interested in upgrading your edc. All made in the US high quality gear.

Great vid TGV, your right about Stone Island over here in the UK. Top quality, but won't wear it because of that association, a shame.

Great video as always, looks like I need some new boots 😁

Loved this video and loved the private white jacket. Yours is a size 2, I see a 4 is equivalent to a M. Can you give me some insight on the fit. I’d love to order one. Thanks!

I use Tango and See bag from Observer Collection. You should look them up. Currently out of stock but their aesthetic is fashion meets tactical military practicality.

Great video. I always travel with an Anker 3in1 wireless charging pad to keep my IPhone, watch and airpods charged in my hotel room.

Mustard intro Guvnor, video too👌

Very nice travel/EDC gear. For my 1-week-trip to the Netherlands I ended up taking with me the do-it-all Sinn 556i, the summer fun watch Seiko 5KX and the dependable Seiko SSC009 ("Solar Flighty"). The Quartz Seiko turned out to be a good choice, because handling hypercharging cables for the electric car does not go well with mechanical watches. 😬

Nice job TGV. One travel essential: As my normal stomping ground is South America I've learned to travel with a modest wedge of U$20 bills. Sometimes only cash will do, and the Jackson is the lingua franca of currencies.

Love this! I've just landed in the tropics , here to play some gigs and have a holiday.working holiday I guess. I live in New Zealand. Because of the weight restrictions as I'm carrying so much music gear I could only bring two watches ! First thing I noticed upon landing was my wrist swelling up meaning I can't wear my beloved Stratton Local Time as I have the jolly micro adjust at it's max setting , so I grabbed my Chronos GMT ( Rolex GMT homage , I REFUSED to get a fake !) and got my tool and adjusted the micro adjust. I can take this piece snorkeling as it's 200m rated. My point is to take a jeweller tool (please forgive me I don't know the name of the tool, I just know how to use it 😂) with you when traveling overseas so you can adjust your bracelet to fit!

My Travel/EDC are a pair of Bluetooth earbuds, powerbank, Tablet for watching KZfaq content and listening to music a wash bag for my Razor, Toothbrush etc. My weekend bag is a Barbour holdall which holds everything i need in. Talking about Chukka boots i got a pair of Loake Pimlico in a recent sale for £105 in Brown suede which was a great find as i am only a size 5 in footwear and trying to find decent footwear is difficult. The watches i take on a trip are my Tag Heuer Aquaracer and my Seiko Flightmaster

Great video, multi use items and pack light. Personally , I have been stung by my luggage not always appearing at the same airport I have arrived at. That being said , I try not to check baggage. I'm guessing with your EDC you do check some luggage or do you have some other way to get your sharp element , your battery torch etc. through security?

I still have the 1st gen OG PSP and it works great!

thanks for the video Tristano, I hope you are keeping well mo chara 🙏

I have a pair of Loake Pimlicos - great shoes. Still use the trusty IPod for listening to music.

Cool EDC vidéo ! As for the chukka boots and your european audience, I would recommend to check the desert boots by JULES ET JENN. I do own both regular and suede leather boots and quality/Price ratio is outstanding. Maybe a souvenir idea for your next european trip ;)

Can't seem to find the Clarks boots you mentioned. I really like the more elegant silhouette of your pair. Is there a model name or reference you are aware of that I can use to pick up my own pair? Cheers

You wouldn’t believe it TGV, but I was looking at photos of King George V’s Britannia when I got the notification for this vid. The Britannia had the daring spoon-shaped bow. The Explorer looks really good on that RAF strap - can’t go wrong with a single pass strap. I usually travel a Tumi garment bag, their nylon is really tough. Boring but tough.

I should carry sunscreen now that I seen all the goodies you have,very cool stuff,yeah I'm into chukka boots my self, the most comfortable shoes ever..yeah definitely weed second part, do you carry any snacks in particular what would you recommend....great content as always from greetings from St George Utah 👋...

Thank you for recommending the Sandisk mp3 players! I'm also a guy who don't listen music on the phone to save battery life.

You should consider more minimalist shoes with no heel drop and a wider toe box! They have changed my life as an athlete. Love these videos.

Rod Lavers, oxblood double monks, chore coat and sport coat, caran d'ache, seiko 5 and either a dress watch or Gshock 6900 depending on the agenda

Very inspiring

Next time you travel across the pond could you demonstrate how to use a GMT watch? Thanks.

TGV, great video as always. May i recommend you check out public rec’s clothing line. I find their shirts and slacks are comfortable and light weight which works great for hot environments.

Wish I could feel the same about the streamlight microstream but it recently completely failed on me😔. Used to brighten the sky up but just stopped dead one day and I opened it up to find a problem but couldn’t figure out what happened. It was only a year old when it stopped🤷‍♂️

There’s a big difference between suede and nubuck. Suede is a hide that has been split down the middle and so it’s actually only half a skin in terms of thickness, while nubuck is an unsplit leather that has been slightly sanded to give it that smooth velvety surface texture.

I really like that Hemel watch roll. Considering ordering one from the UK . Do you think the Velcro will stand the test of time ? Great content. Thanks

I have 3 pairs of cole hahn chukka boots. I also like their driving mocassins.

I bought a Casio dw290 fro your recommendation and the first thing I did was remove the gaudy printing with nail varnish remover as I like the look of yours minus the green text.

i love those shoes

Alright, TGV. Good stuff as always... but when are you upgrading your portable gaming suite to include a Steam Deck???

DOS?? MP3s?? Are we in the 90s?? Haha! Love it TGV!

Intro music 🔥 as always
