Small first aid kit with basic tylenon, immodium, benadryl and few band aids and my front pocket has custom engraved sebenza + arc aaa. Anyone who asks about my sebbie, sees it more as an accesory than weapon or a knife. I will also throw in two pair of latex gloves. Keys and my regular gear stay in my car.

ps.
one thing I learned with valet parking is to bring my own extra set of keys.

Copy that.

We need a return of the 3 piece suit! The vest watchpockets were/are a handy place to fashionably watchchain tether a nice sized SAK (like the 84mm alox Cadet) and a mini LED light like the ARC AAA or one of the new Peaks. At the very least, you have emergency light and a cutting tool... Add a few Bandaids in your wallet and a Mini BIC in some other pocket and you're better prepared than 99% of the populace...

Perhaps try Shoulder holsters for "E Gear"...I am sure you could convert it for your EDC.

E Gear

Here's how it ended up. I wore a suite (2 piece) and the wife wore a very slinky little dress with no purse and of course no pockets.

Keys went to the valet

Pants

RF = Peak Shasta N-Cell Mini LED Light
LF = Essential Gear Windmill Stormproff Lighter
RR = Large Classic CRK Sebenza
LR = Small wallet w/ DL, CC, Cash and a few business cards

Jacket

Inside breast pocket = Cell phone, wifes lipstick and wifes makeup compact

How did things end up for me? Let me see if I remember. My new suit fit perfectly. No allowance was made for a cell phone in the drape of the suit, however. I was not about to leave my mobile behind, so I stowed it in my Podzilla. I also stashed my first aid kit, instant ice pack, space blanket, gauze, tape, and other goodies in there.

I did get a remark from someone about my shoulder bag, but it was meant in fun. I replied I was carrying my mobile phone and first aid kit. The person nodded in a disinterested manner and nothing more was said.

My dress coat pockets held my keys and SureFire E1e. No room for the E2e. My dress slacks held my wallets (money and ID are kept separately), lighter, lip balm, PrincetonTec Blast, Kershaw Silver Spur (gentleman's pocketknife), comb, Swiss-Tech MicroPlus, and
headache meds. Dress jacket held my A.G. Russell Ultimate Pen Knife, PrincetonTec Eclipse 2, and Victoinox Midnite MiniChamp II.

I think that's about it. My pockets felt a shade bulky, but they didn't look it, which was important. Even better, I wore my EDC neck lanyard under my dress shirt. If anyone noticed, no one said anything.

What exactly do you keep on your EDC neck lanyard?

1. JetScream whistle from UltimateSurvival
2. keyring firesteel and striker combination in a leather sheath from StrikeMaster (now out of business)
3. ARC AAA LED light (also now out of business)
4. Photon Freedom Microlight, covert version (white)
5. REI button compass

The Photon, ARC, and compass are grouped together on a keyring, held by the clip portion of the lanyard. The whistle and the firesteel have been looped into the lanyard, one on each side, roughly equal distances from the bottom clip. Everything usually lays fairly flat.

Thanks for the info. I have been overusing my pockets lately and looking for a way to spread out the weight. You've given me some good ideas

Truthfully, I can't take the credit here. The idea behind how I arrange my gear on my lanyard was given to me by one of our own forum members: dchinell, dedicated member, AKA "Bear."

I posted the message "My EDC neck lanyard clinks as I walk." Bear replied I should, "Wear a bandolier (a neck lanyard long enough to put an arm through). String out your goodies so they lie on comfy parts of your body but are far enough apart to avoid clanking."

That is precisely what I did. I'm still doing it that way now, with small refinements as needed.
