Gear you make use of in day to day life.
I find myself wearing my boots everyday, and plan to wear my jacket everyday (after arrival) I also am now carrying my mk around a opposed to my old bag. Just wondering about the rest of you. Illinois

Hard to answer.
Jacket gets the most play, hands down. But it's warm here, so it's only a given for some 6 months, and that's pushing it. So you know I like it when I wore it for 9 months last season.
The hat will get worn when I have an excuse - that's the entire rainy winter (So Cal), plus a few months 'just in case', and during the summer for long outings. So when I can, but it isn't all the time.
The MKVII is the only thing that gets used year round, but it's not every day. A lot on vacations, or anywhere we are probably taking the camera, and sometimes to work, but then it just hangs on my coatrack all day, I don't wear it IN the office.
So the bag and the jacket are a tie day-wise, but the jacket gets the SOLID use. MKVII is probably even MORE useful (here in So Cal, again).
Boots? Gosh, I wear boots everyday, but that just doesn't count.

I wear my boots every day so by defalt they are the most used gear. I wear my MKVII during the weekends or when out for the evening. My lid gets put on the rack when the temp climbs but is in use most every day. When my Wested arrives that will be used as often as weather permitts (80 degrees and up is a little too hot)
Cheers,
Jeff

I get the feeling our answers are basically the same. We use whatever we can when appropriate. If I had Indy socks they'd be high on the list, too...Gobler wrote:I wear my boots every day so by defalt they are the most used gear. I wear my MKVII during the weekends or when out for the evening.

I was gone for three days, went to the Promise Keepers convention in Long Island and used the Bag the whole time I was there.
Folks who knew me could spot me hundreds of feet away cause of the Adventurebilt...

That's awsome Jimmy!
I ware my Jacket when it's cool/cold, boots most of the time, some sort of Khaki/taupe pants most of the time, one of the belts if I need one, and the whip all the time....ok, maybe not the whip. I wore my hat on vacation, but not really any where else. I've also got some Indy T-shirts I ware some times. (Magnoli's Barnett College one, and two of my own making at cafepress) I might have warn the MKVII if I was still in school and had stuff to carry, but I don't really carry anything besides what's in my pockets.

For me: Fedora, Aldens and them The Wested.
I always wear my Fedora, no matter the temp, and I'd sleep in my Aldens if I could, but the misses would get anoyed with if I did.
Now my Wested I'll wear every chance I get, love that jacket, I'll wear the shirt and pants from time to time (no one at work recognize's either one) I wear my MKVII when I go on trips or when I go walking the woods.
I wear as much gear as I can.
