“One-to-one scale patches are just like your standard morale patches, only made much larger than we usually see them.” Like you, we love a good morale patch. Patches can be clever, funny, feature creative artwork, or even pass on ideas that can really make you think. Just as everything else in life, there are trends that come and go, even in the world of morale patches. A growing movement that we noticed over the past year that really floored us are life-size morale patches. One-to-one scale patches are just like your standard morale patches, only made much larger than we usually see them. We’re not sure what we’d slap these life-size patches on, but they’re impressive to look at to say the least. Battle Arms Development (BAD), in conjunction with Modern Arms (modernarms.net),…

Collaborating with industry innovators is something we at UN12 love to do. Whether it’s giving our opinion on new pieces of gear or simply bouncing ideas around, we’re here to give our feedback and support to creators and visionaries.

Why is it so interesting to see what other people carry with them in their pockets on a daily basis? When you see an EDC collection spread out on a table, do you compare the items with what you carry? Do you look for items that are unfamiliar to you? What can you tell about the person by what they carry? We’d venture to guess that all of the above keep people engaged in someone else’s setup. That, and the diverse selection of EDC gear that’s available. (It’s always fun to look at the latest gear.) In this issue’s Every Day Carry, we examine EDC setups that have been curated by the same user, but for different occasions. Some items can be called commonplace staples, while others are more unique. Do…
