Obitim Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Morning folks! Hope you're all well? I'm off to a wedding next weekend so have been out and bought myself a brand new suit (as I've lost about 2.5 stones it was needed!) however, I've got a question, how on earth will I be able to carry my wallet, phone and keys without ruining the 'look' of the suit? Any suggestions? I suppose I can leave the keys at the hotel, but need the cash and the phone for pics! Quote Link to comment
Raev Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Most good suits have a pocket on the inside of the jacket that will fit your wallet without ruining the lines of the suit. I'll slip my phone into an outer pocket of the jacket. Keys I tend to hand to my wife and ask her to put them in her purse.

Oramac Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Maybe it's just that I don't care, but I always keep my wallet in my back pocket even in a suit. It's pretty thin, usually, so it doesn't stand out much anyway. As for the phone, the inside jacket pocket works great, as long as you can keep good track of where you put your jacket! Cash can go almost anywhere. Front shirt pocket, front pants pocket, back pocket, jacket pocket. Cash is thin and easy to conceal. Hint: Only fold cash once, in half. It's much much easier to hide that way than if you fold twice like in standard tri-fold wallets.

Obitim Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Cheers chaps! I was playing with the idea of getting a moneyclip, but not so sure, Yeah, jacket pockets could work to be honest...never actually used them for that before though! Quote Link to comment
Raze Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 if you dont have a place for all of your goodies you could always put them in your sock (we have to do that in our service/dress uniforms in the military). i would advise for a small wallet that holds some cash, one card, and your ID leave the rest of what you normally carry in the hotel.

Trembriele Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 if you dont have a place for all of your goodies you could always put them in your sockAs a girl, I find my bra is an excellent place for cards, some cash, and even the phone. Keys are the tricky part if you're not carrying a bag. I suppose that wouldn't work for the OP though Quote Battle Log Link to comment
Obitim Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 My fiancée may start asking questions! Thanks for the info tho...I may put on some sort of man bra? Quote Link to comment
Bearded_Dragon Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I always go for the inner jacket pockets, at least for the first part of the day. By the evening people will be too drunk to notice/care if you slip your phone & wallet into your trouser pockets. The only thing with putting more weighty items in your jacket pockets is to make sure they don't pull your posture down. Quote Link to comment
Obitim Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm gonna keep the items light, so phone and wallet only and a reduced wallet at that I think! So hopefulyl all that time down the gym wil have paid off and will keep my posture upright (plus I don't have enough cash to drag me down! Quote Link to comment
Ivan Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I have a phone case that has a couple of slots for a bank card and some bank notes. Phone then goes into the inner jacket pocket. Keys fit nicely into the waistcoat pocket, assuming nothing too bulky. Quote I will do today what others won't, so that I can do tomorrow what others can't.

The only downside is when you flip the wallet part around to make a phone call, everyone around you can see your credit cards, ID, and whatever else you have in there.

Oramac Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Good point. Makes those gold and platinum credit cards seem more worthwhile - wallet bling! Lol. I was thinking the opposite. If some ne'er-do-well see a bunch of gold and platinum cards while you're distracted talking on the phone, it would be ridiculously easy for him to take the phone and run.

Obitim Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 With your cards as well...however, as we're all on Nerd Fitness, we should easily be able to run after them and give them a pasting! 1 Quote Link to comment
