Outlier and ML Brown & Co., the Leather Braided Keychain
Function, strength, and style, the Outlier and ML Brown & Co. Braided Keychain. Like so many urban cyclists we keep our keys carabineered to our belt loops. Not because we like it particularly but because it works; keys far enough away from the body that they don't cut into you as you pedal, close enough that you don't forget to take them along. We always thought there had to be a more elegant solution, and we turned to our friends at ML Brown & Co. to help us out. We've long admired their leatherworking craftsmanship and the result is practical, restrained and purposeful, braided leather plus a stainless steel sailing shackle hand bound together with waxed linen to create a keychain.

It can also be worn around a bike lock chain to allow easy access for undoing the lock quicker. If your hands are full, wrap it around your wrist.
