View Full Version : Pocket change?
I was wondering and had a silly idea for a thread. I was talking to my tailor and he keeps harrassing me to the point of assault about the amount of things I carry in my pockets. He makes my suits and trousers to fit me and never encourages me to carry anything in my pockets, so as not to ruin the line of the bespoke suit.
Well, if you're like me and cannot function without some jingle in your pockets, what do you do? You carry your stuff wiht pride!
Well, I thought about this and laid out all the things I carry in my pockets out on my desk this afternoon and looked at them all. Not just pockets, but what do you carry on your person in general. My shirtier gives me hell over wearing an Omega Seamaster because it is too bulky and ruins the cuff of the shirt, so he must make the cuff larger.
I know I sound a little weird mentioningthis, but I was jsut curious if I was the only one who carried mountains of things in his pockets. I'll list what I carry on my person. I'd like to hear what you all carry.
I try to confine myself to the same things every day. On my wrist, I wear an Omega Seamaster Professional chronometer on a titanium bracelet. This is not just needing a reliable timepiece in my job. It provides as a great knuckleduster. I'm sure their are some who could attest to the power behind it, if they were around.
In my pockets, left:
-A Black leather billfold (not a wallet, but an actualy billfold) that is pretty well worn, but once an expensive leather garment. I've had it for years, the things near worn out. (I usually carry this in the inside left breast pocket of my jacket.)
-A Waterman stainless steel rollerball pen that was a gift upon my graduation. It serves as a great writing instrument and a memento of days old fun. I've never used another pen, it ages beautifully over time.
-One stainless steel money clip with no symbols or engraving, I prefer not to have anything ostentatious. It's pretty plain looking, jsut a steel money clip. Nothing special.
-Exactly one dollar in change every day, four quarters. Don't really know why I do this, something my old man used to do. It comes in handy, though. Come on, how many times do you pay for something and it is not exactly on the dollar!
-Bo'sun's Pipe: I know this is going to sound insane, but to remind me of my days in the Corps, I carry my old initiation bo'sun's whistle. It is well beaten by now and could seriously use a good polish and buffing, but I keep it looking antiquiated even htough it's not. It's my good luck charm. I carry it every day.
Right pocket:
-Cell phone, BlackBerry. You know, I used to carry around the laptops and all that, but the BlackBerry keeps it all regulated and prepped for me in one easy little Berry. I love it, great for several reasons, although I don't know how much longer I'll keep it. I should get something cheaper and smaller.
-One cotton handkechief I use to dab. Hey, we all sweat, and I hate having hte oiliest skin known to man, therefore I can't help but to dab on.
-Sunglasses: I prefer the regular aviators as they are the original suglassss apparel for men, so I always keep a pair handy. Hey, I'm in Charleston, it's hot and bright down here all year long!
-Mints: whatever I can find that locks securely and is small, usually tic tacs. Hey, gotta keep the breath fresh.
-Business card case; stainless steel regualr plain looking card case I keep ten cards in at all times. The cards are simple, with my information on htem, profession looking. Subtle off white paper, more of a cream colour or ecru with raised letters in Roman type, the thickness is perfect on a linen fiber cardstock, it even has a watermark.
I keep an Irish linen handkerchief in my breast pocket at all times, sprayed with St. John's Lime Cologne. It adds a subtle scent of lime to a beuaitful linen handkerchief. You never know when a lady needs a handkerchief, and you don't want to hand her the one you keep in your pocket to bleed and wipe sweat on, do you? Therefore, having a crisply unstarched ironed handkerchief with the light fragrant scent of limes is touching and therefore affects a good introduction.
Do any of you carry the exact same things every day (I change out the handkercheives, just for hygeine!) But do any of you all fall into this category?
If so, please tell us what you carry.

Well you asked...and one shall hath an answer!!!
One or Two bits of snotty tissue that are stuck together from blowing my nose on various amounts of times.
Shrapnel (petty cash) most of the time no more than about 10 quid
a spiffing ole good pack of Drum rolling tobacco....and a lighter
ALWAYS a pack of peppermint Orbit chewing gum!
the essential keys of life!!!!
a rubber johnny....not that i'm really going to use it often enough as i'd wish :mellow: but i thought i'd share that with you all
ooh and always without a doubt, a few odd bits of mysterious fluff
So....sum this all up, i dont really have bugger all thats worth my aid in my smelly pockets, besides, i guess it serves me come what may!?
Good list, I like heharing what people carry around. And not to get too out of line, but maybe ladies couldl actually say what they keep in purses. I've only been in tow myself, one was my mother's when I was a child and she tuaght me otherwise. hte otehr was a paritcular young lady who had a passion for sedative and D.H. Lawrence novels, oh yes, and lipstick.
I actually wonder if I'm the only one who cares what people acrry in their pockets.
I'll admit, I carry a piece sometimes and I didn't feel the need to mention that at first as it would scare people away from the subject.

Well I'm a girl so I have the luxury/burden, whichever you prefer of carrying a bag. I have a list I call out to myself everytime I leave the house so that I have everything I need which goes in this order; money, make-up, glasses, phone's, keys, mp3.
Money-well it's obvious. It all gets stuffed into a DKNY wallet my brother bought me for Christmas.
Make-up-I'm a glamour girl and I don't go out without my make-up. I must stress that I'm not into wearing a lot of it as I believe a little goes a long way
but it's essential nonetheless. I don't carry all my make-up, just the essentials.
Glasses-for driving
Phones-One personal, one Blackberry for work. It's a bit of a pain having to carry two but it gives me the option of turning off the work one when I don't want to be contacted.
Keys-Work/Home/Car
mp3-I use it at the gym, plug it in at work and connect it to my car stereo. I have a Creative Zen 30gb which has a battery life of about 8 hours. Way better than an iPod.
Like you 007 I usually carry a pair of sunnies, but only in the summer. The weather in Ireland sucks big-time. It's lashing rain at the moment and it's mid-May!
So that's it. I do the list in my head in a Monica Gellar-like way every time I go out. Pocket's are out for most girl's you'll probably find!

None of this surprises me. It sounds very similar to my husband, bar the 'rubber johnny' (long time since I heard that description) and perhaps the snotty tissues. :lmao:
If I were to outline everything in my handbag, I'd be here allday. I only have a small handbag but it's amazing what I can store in it.
Guaranteed items though:
Phone, hairbrush, lipstick, chapstick, nail file, paracetamol tabs, Extra sugarfree gum, Swiss Army card (size of a credit card but has loads of little tools on it), keys for car, keys for my house, keys for my mothers (separate from each other - hate big bunches of keys) and of course...the all important black leather wallet! Not a purse, I like wallets.
I'm not one for carrying much cash around. I'd say on any given day, it's €20 or less. I buy most things with my debit card so I generally don't need to carry cash but I always have about €5 in various bits of change.

Before I leave my apartment for school I make sure I have my five essential things to get through the day.
1. Wallet – A silly little black leather wallet with a Mercedes symbol on it that my sister gave to me when she bought her car.
2. Ipod – A must! No way would I be able to get through the day without this little gem of technology.
3. Watch – Swiss Army with a rubber band.
4. Keys – Couldn’t get far without them
5. Sun glasses – Rayban aviators
All these items fit into various pockets with the exception of my watch which fits nicely around my wrist. Also if the sunglasses if I’m going to be sitting down. Crunch!
Hey, Puck, I'm glad to see someone else wears Ray Ban Aviators! I've had my pair since basic and never gotten rid of them. I love them to death.
Also, for Dave, I carry one pigskin briefcase with a red matted inside that I bought from Swaine Adeney and Brigg and saved up for four months trying to buy it. Inside you'll find 25 gold sovereigns and 25 sivler dollars(US currency), you'll also find a compartment for documents on the back of the briefcase that you can lift up. A rather ingenious idea that I use to keep any work related things in, which I had installed by Worley's Leathercare experts, but since their demise I have no other means of reworking my newer cases. Also, you'll find an old school Gillete double edged razor(Never know when you missed a spot, right Dave?). THe razor, if handled properly can serve as knuckleduster. Also, a pack of cigarettes (Lucky Strikes or Camels) with a camera inside, activated by light sources. Had it installed in Wahsington, that's m really only true to life 007 gadget, it cost a pretty penny to have set up. Also, you'll find a cannister of OC mace spray inside the travel tin of shaving cream for last resort purposes in case I forgot the roscoe. I also keep a small evidence kit used for collecting of samples, will hold liquids and solid substances.
Inside the case is also my credentials and ID tag and usually I keep some leather gloves, and several latex gloves for the job. And about ten legal pads I use to scribble notes. And I've always kept a solid red tie in the case, for some reason if I need one in a hurry. Red goes with any suit that I wear, which are only gray or black. I never am seen during work without a gray or black suit. I think I've worn that navy one once since I've had it made. Sorry guys, I'm actually a fan of going tieless, but if I'm going to the boss' office, I quickly forge out a four-in-hand knot. Never a Windsor, as they are suspect of indicative evil intent. I never trust a man who wear a Windsor knot. Sometihng an old friend taught me.
That's usually all I keep in my case, now that we brought up purses, I felt the need to mention my case.
Oh yeah, before I forget, now that we are talking about what we carry on our person, I always wear my old issued dog tags (ID Discs) from service. I keep one around my neck and in the boots, one each. That way if something ever does happen to me, I'll be able to be identified from either boot or around my neck. It's something I'm usd to and I keep them very close at all times. I remember the medic once freaked out because he couldn't ID one of the guys because he'd forgotten his tags and his upper body was, well, lets just say it was missing, so I always carry my tags with me. I don't even have a legitimate reason for it, but I've seen situations were they came in handy.
That's my useless stuff I carry, anybody else carry something like that you think is lucky but is actually usueless for justification.

hmm, so this is the Loulou in chocolate drinking Kiera under the table while pervy Dave and Marc watch thread?
Eibhlin you're absolutely right this thread has gotten way off track. In my pockets: 4 bobby pins and a chocolate bar wrapper. Actually now I'm like McGyver.
I usually sport a few Orbit gum wrappers myself, although I'm desperately trying t oswap to Altoids. My mother used to tell me that chewing gum is for clowns and teenagers. Well, imagine how she felt when I was chewing tobacco, straight off the leaf, worms and all.
Oh yeah, I usually keep with the Camel cigarettes, a package of Red Man chewing tobacco or Kodiak Ice. That stuff will put you in the spot.
Oh, and by the way, Marc, I did get that balck attache case from the exact luggage company that did 007's in From Russia With Love.
Here is the link:
http://www.swaineadeney.co.uk/catalogue/attache_case_bond/index.html?productsPage=2
I remember saving up for a while to get that. I ate beans for breakfast every day so I could get that case, and it's well worth it.
I even tried to have the same gadgets put in, but alas I couldn't find a way for the ejecting stiletto knife to pop out ofthe side, believe me I tried. And his AR-7 snipers rifle was a waste, because .25 calibre won't kill anyone, and I've got experience iwth weaponry, it will just piss someone off.
However, the silence in the can of shaving crema was ingenious, the sovereigns and silver dolalrs worked out well, though. I've got it about as 'Bonded' out as it can get. I need to find a teargas cartridge to have like Bond did, though.
And the catches do actually turn to the side, so maybe i can rig up something to cause it to explode if turned incorrectly.
I don't know, i figured it wouldserve a brilliant purpose. My coworkers make jokes that there's also a bomb in the case, but I keep haivng to show security that it's totally safe. Thank God they've never found the silencer and the hidden documents compartment, and all the other hidden goodies. They jsut see a tie, an evidence kit and my ID's and they think it actually normal. Well, jokes on them.
Actually, the joke's on me because my coworkers actually have security call me in about every three weeks to chekc the case and they tear through it again to find nothing. I swear, I've gotten detained for that case so many times!

and I think the something something comment maaaay fall into the category of
TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!
yikes, that would be like a chick saying how she was allergic to her yeast infection cream-YUCK!!!!
---quickly thinks of something else entirely---
Yup, something told me to expect horrors in lady's purses. I haven't gotten very far in many women's....purses, but this is defintiely interesting.
Hey, in the military it was called the 'Mark IV, Prophyllactic Kit' or 'Pro Kit', where did all these creative names pop up?
And Andrea, since when does a married woman need a condom, or does the hubby know? LOL.
Hey, now that we've totally digresssed, and women are in thsi topic here, mainly I'm asking women. I have a giant scar on my right hand and a few small ones on my face. I had a girl recommend make up, like, clinique or some conelaer I guess, is that weird or what? What am I supposed to do, stop to go to the men's room to powder my scars.
I'm not trying to sound weird here, but seriously, is that out of line for a guy to do that. I'm a little self conscious over them, but I tend to try and not look at them in the mirror. Would makeup even work? And I'm being serious here, no jokes. If you knew how I got them, maybe you wouldn't be laughing.
Eibhlin
05-20-2007, 01:47 AM
umm, I didnt say I had a condom in my purse, I had a leftover party gag a penis shaped straw-lol
I would forego the make up, scars are interesting and well, makeup on a guy is just wrong
I mean look at Little Richard-hahahaha
last_dance_rodeo
05-20-2007, 02:03 AM
hahaha andrea, little richard scares me. Hey jones have you ever tried mcderma? I think that's what it is called. I hear that helps scars. I would skip the makeup.
OKay, my apologies about the pro kit in your purse, I read the word 'penis straw', and I figured that was another form of slang, like 'salami sling' or something like that. It took me a minute to guess exactly what you were talking about. My apologies.
Secondly, I'm glad to have your imput, although I don't htink I look like Little Richard, although his music is good! :) However, scars are very brutal reminders of what happened. For those of us that have them and see them staring back at us, they are not the least bit interesting. My old man gave me the scar on my hand, as well as several others, and I figured some kind of plasticized surgery might fix it up. Although what Daddy did was an accident, he didn't mean to.
We were going to try upstairs to find several things, a screwdriver, his drill and a million little drill bits, and a level, and his knife, to mount a plaque on a wall downstairs. We were walking downstairs and he slipped with a knife when tumbling down the stairs, and I was in front of him, holding the nail bits and the drill, he was holdingthe knife, level and screwdriver. Since I didn't want him to jab himself, I reached to hold his hand out so nothing would happen, however he was reaching to move the knife in another directionto the left, and when he pulled and I pulled, it jarred me and got me and he lost hihs balance and fell on top of me. That's how one scar was there. The other storeis I'll save for another day.
And one more thing, I was wondering, there are many women on here taling about what they carry around, what, y'all don't carry mace or pepper spray or anything? I'm actually curious to find out how many women do? It's a safe idea, jsut don't let your kids get into it. I maced myself once when I was six or seven, probably seven. I thought it was breath spray (my mom used to use a ton of that stuff and I thought it would taste good). Turns out I was severely wrong. Won't forget that day. And you get maced during basic training and the academy. So, all in all, I've been maced three times, well, twice and once tear gassed (MUCH WORSE! I thougth I was going to die, literally).
So, how many women carry mace or a knife or something, i know someone out there must?
Oh, McDerma, I've seen the ads on TV. I might ask my dermatologist about that. yes, I siad dermatologist, I've got the award for 'World's Oilest Skin'! But doens't that work only if the scar is fresh, these are several years old.

When I used to carry my wallet in my back pocket, my chiropractor told me that this was not good for the back; the ergonomist told me the same. Plus, my wife and female friends all told me that it's not sexy to have a big bulge in the behind.
So, I had to carry less in my wallet and place it in the front pocket. But that's where the problem began. Like many people, I carry so many cards (driver's license, ATM card, personal credit card, corporate card, AAA card, health insurance, auto insurance), and combine that with money, the wallet gets pretty big.
And the keys are the same problem. House key, office access key, office key, car key (with remote access, which are never small), and my kubotan.
If only there was a practical man-purse out there. So many of them are either too big (they look like messenger bags; such big bags are uncool unless you're a messenger), or too small (and having to carry them in my hands defeats its purpose). Any good recommendations???

No worries! I can take a joke but I give as good as I get. :)
Now I ain't got anything in my pockets but aside from my usual bag crap I found a tube of Bonjela which is for mouth ulcers. Every time I post on this thread I feel I should have something weird in my pockets.
Mouth ulcers? uh-oh! Just go see the doc and he'll give you some ointment!
I am currently cleaning out my pockets (or was before writing this post). Rayban aviators, two handkerchieves, money clip, key, pen, two washers (don't really know why I have a screw and washers in my pockets??? Hope nothing is breaking around me as I type this!) and an Allen key.
I actually just got back from a USPSA-NRA cometition so I have my weapon(Firestorm F650 .380ACP AKA James Bond knockoff gun) and ammunition (.380 Blazer CCI in mags of eight) hunkering down my waistbelt. But if I knew this morning what I know now, I would have brought some sunscreen with me. I'm fried. I could've used some sunscreen in my pockets today, I'm burnt to a crisp!
Life was eaiser when it was cloudy. I didn't have purple arms and itchy faces.

It's ten o'clock here in the Eastern United States. And I'm at my desk, getting ready to go into work, oh boy!
I wish I was in nothing but my Sea Island boxers ready to sleep, not this guy. Nope, I'm workin' till six in the morning; and I'm oh-so happy about it.
In my pockets are my money clip, pen, sunglasses, bo'sun's pipe, billfold, extra cash wrapped in a rubber band, keys, cell phone, other cell phone, little doodad pocket knife iwth toothpick and tweexers and all that connected to it, and yes, I almost forgot, my trusty P-38.
For those that are wondering, I haven't put on the Roscoe yet, but I will.

05-29-2007, 02:10 AM
ok Marc you need to post a pic of this P-38 thingamabob so we can see how huge it is!
-could this be the next generation of Panzershweck (or whatever it is spelled)
lol
Is that a P-38 in your pocket or are you just happy to look at pics of Jewel?
gahh
anyways!
Marc, you're confusing my service weapon from the original P-38. I'll try to post some pictures somehow if Kiera can give me detailed instructions on how to do so.
http://alliedworkshops.com/p-38.shtml
At this site, you'll find the P-38, it's a can opener for God's sake! I use it for everything, it comes in handy for a million uses. From scraping out dirt under your fingernails to a can opener to a screwdriver (sort of!). It has a million uses.
Marc is thinking of the German nazi P-38 Walther.
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.impactguns.com/store/media/walther_p38_set.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.impactguns.com/store/IOAHG01.html&h=471&w=700&sz=85&hl=en&start=17&tbnid=ZxLTcqQwZI133M:&tbnh=94&tbnw=140&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwalther%2BP%2B38%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D 10%26hl%3Den
Put that into your browser address bar and that's the weapon he is thikning of.
My P-38 is a can opener that goes in K rations and C rations! Although, this is one misunderstanding many Germans and Americans had during the war, one of the many.
And Marco, this is a Roscoe!
www.gunblast.com/Firestorm.htm
I use the .380 instead of the .22. It's never jammed on me once, compared to the bulkier Colt 1911A1 model. Also, you'll find that weapon conceals rather nicely under a jacket (best secured under my waistcoat) or in a baggy trouser leg. If you are going to purcahse one, Marc, I recommend the original Jackass leatherworks company. They do a perfectly molded leather shoulder holster for it, and coincidentally I have the exact model type Miami Vice shoulder rig worn by DOn Johnson when he did Vice. (I get picked on so bad by my coworkers, my nickname's Crockett!)
In my pockets today I've got, money clip, cell phone, and three quarters, Quench thirst chewing gum (Great stuff, could not live without it!) and the lucky ticekt to tonight's show, La Cage Les Folles. Of coruse, I need to change into better attire from my jeans, in which means carrying more than that inside my pockets. Oh, nad a packet of conenience store sugar. (must be from this morning.)

05-29-2007, 11:54 PM
Ahh no Bond type bloke...we were in no way meant to have guessed that hahaaa, and Marc was not thinking of an excellent German Walther P-38 much favoured by all nations, as an excellent sidearm in it's time or would he have guessed it to be a spiffingly good can opener!!!
I was refering to thee American WWII fighter The P-38 Lightning (http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/AirShows/Chino2004/Sampler/P38.jpg)
Personaly tho, i myself have always admired the Glock family of pistols...especially the Glock 32, although the development of Heckler & Koch's HK UCP, small calibre i know, a nice 'modern' looking weapon. Besides, i could take your recommendations, but i'd get the fuzz knockin on my door every week checking my ammo and resigning my permit!!!! we cant buy GPHMG M-60's and Anti-Tank launchers down the shops on a quick swift stroll at lunch break from work here in the British Isles, on a regular basis (pity) :tongue:

lmfao! ya Marc, I don't think the baggiest pair of homie pants could hold one of those P-38s tee-hee (what is with me and tee-hee?? I guess i got sick of lol)
and you and my husband could talk Glock into the wee hours of the morning, he nearly weeps when he thinks of how he had to sell his Glock 40
ah well

LOL, hell no....not even the mightiest pair of Chav shell suit bottoms could hold one of those either!!!! maybe you'de be able to fit one between there ears tho...theres alot of free space in there!
And yer hubby like his Glocks too eh...i love em, fab weapons, and i'd love to get my hands on one of those with some of my pocket change. But why did he have to sell his sexy Glock 40?
Eibhlin
05-31-2007, 02:37 AM
we needed the cash
story of our life
:-P
Yup, know that story. I was eighteen when my old man died and had to give up all my WWII reenacting weapons, 1444 dated M-1 Garand, 1943 dated M1 Carbine, and two sequential serial numbered Colt 1911A1's, from 1942.
Needed the cash, had to get to Norfolk, and I miss those 1911's over anything else. Sequential serial numbers, one ended in 87 and the other was 88. All matching, made by SINGER sewing machine company.
I've always thought what body part I would give to have those back, but I can't think of anything I wouldn't need in the future more than a weapon.

And I could see you as a tobacco and rizla person, not sure why!

As the manager of a mobile phone store a big fat "word" to that!!! I keep my phones in my bag so they don't get too scratched and are easily available when someone rings me. However I guess that option might cause too many questions for you guys?
