About Everyday Brands
My name is Brandan, I have a passion for hard work and leisure, embodying a lifestyle that balances productivity with relaxation and new experiences. I have done 20 years in the U.S. military and have been exposed and leveraged an assortment of tactical gear and functional men’s wear both on and off the job. I have developed a discerning eye for quality and design. I want to contribute to a community with shared interests, and hopefully get people interested in the quality brands I have come to use.
