Secret pockets...shhhhh....

[GoldenTribe]



Indochino offers only this one if i recall correct,i was talking generally about types of secret pockets.
Hmmmm....i don't like this too much,no much practical usage imo...

It really depends where you are travelling - sometimes it is very useful to have somewhere that a thief in a hurry will not look. The downside is that it is relatively inaccessible for you, too, so if you need to get money out in a hurry it's not very practical.

I think I have seen versions where the zipper is on the outside of the belt, which would make it possible to actually get at the money for use without appearing to publicly strip -- while remaining very difficult for a would-be thief to access (at the very least without alerting the wearer).

Money belt:

I can only imagine this would be a good place to keep money to pay... erm... escorts.

You don't travel much, do you ...

I had one of those money belts when I was a kid. Pretty dumb design IMO.

I heard hidden pockets are very functional on the streets of Napoli. No wonder Battisti ties have them!

Next Battisti will introduce cashmere/kevlar sport jackets and sweaters! Earlier this year in Napoli, my hotel room was too hot so I had the balcony doors open... at 2:00 am and heard gun shots - needless to say after that sacrificed climate comfort for safety and peace of mind!

When I have bespoke coats made I like to have the canvassing replaced with overlays of $100 bills.

LOL!!!!! ;-) :foo:

My tailor told me a story about a client of his (a native of Chicago) from the early-to-mid 70's who had him work pockets into the inner sleeves of his overcoats, presumably to stash cash.

I do not travel in circles where this would come in handy, nor do I carry that kind of cash.

I think my wallet is worth more on its own than what I actually ever carry in it so Im not too concerned with secret pockets.

I don't carry a wallet, but I was thinking about carrying a decoy wallet with a few old cards and a couple dollars in it so if I ever get mugged I can just give the ****** the decoy.

I've often thought of having a bespoke commando style outfit created with 200 or so hidden compartments; each one holding an ounce of gold, and other compartments for first aid and sewing kits, water purification tablets, ammunition, etc. Better to blend in with the crowd when carrying high volumes of portable wealth, wouldn't you agree?
Problem for me is I don't have 200 gold ounces. Maybe I'll practice with lead until my luck improves.

Hell, I can't even get through airport metal detectors wearing collar stays.

Serves you right for wearing collar stays.
