Essentials: OD Green
It’s the army’s official color, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a way to rock olive drab green in your own personal wardrobe too. We’ve collected five of our favorite OD Green items to complete your look, from a versatile shirt to a watch, wallet, and more.
Ten Thousand Versatile Shirt
Ten Thousand has been steadily plugging away at creating the absolute best workout wear for years now—and their continual design iterations have led to a near-perfect shirt for everyday wear. The Versatile Shirt lives up to its name, with a breathable and sweat wicking fabric that’s treated with a permanent silver ion odor blocker. Then, it’s finished off with anti-chafe seams all over, ensuring an ultra-comfortable fit and feel no matter what size and shape you are.
Nixon Staple Watch
Whether you’re just getting into the wristwear world or a seasoned veteran, Nixon’s Staple Watch has a lot to offer. For a bit over 100 bucks, it’s a rough and ready everyday watch that’s dripping with refined style—and made almost entirely from recycled ocean plastics. It’s easily one of our favorite watches to break out any time of year, and it does a great job of keeping up with the demands of active and adventurous lifestyles.
Filson Duffle Pack
Want a pack that’s as tough as you? Get something made from ballistic nylon, like Filson’s Duffle Pack. It’s made with a 600 denier ballistic nylon that’s tough enough to stand up to repeated wear and tear, but lightweight enough to make it versatile to carry it comfortably as a backpack or a duffel bag. Plus, it has pockets for wet and dry gear as well as a dedicated laptop sleeve—making it a real all-rounder for any adventure that might come your way.
The Ridge Wallet
If you haven’t already, ditch the Dad wallet and grab one of The Ridge’s minimalist card holders (your back will thank you). They’re made from aluminum, carbon fiber, or titanium, and do a fantastic job of keeping your cards and cash to the minimum requirements that you actually need. Better yet, you can customize each wallet with a money clip, cash strap, or both—giving versatile options for how you want to carry your essentials.
The James Brand Redstone Knife
It’s not often that we find a pocket knife that’s equally great for urban everyday carry and outdoor adventures—but that’s exactly what The James Brand’s Redstone Knife offers. It’s compact, lightweight, and built with a tough as hell construction and perfectly designed finger rest that will give you confidence with every cut. And because of its Sandvik 12C27 steel, it’s safe from corrosion even if you leave it in your damp backpack during overnight camping and hiking trips.
