Tight Jeans - What to do about pockets?

So I was wondering, what's the normal thing to do to store pocket related items (keys, wallet, etc.) when your jeans are tight enough to prohibit the usage of pockets? I usually try to wear a top with pockets but that isn't viable in the upcoming warmer months. Any thoughts would be appreciated; I tried the search but didn't really know what to search for.

Thanks,
Chris

Unless your jeans are made of Spandex, they will stretch enough to make your pockets usable after a few wears.

More importantly, how are your balls?

I had this problem too.

For the wallet, I ended up buying this: http://www.bigskinny.net/wallet-form...edo-black.html. It's the only "big skinny" where the logo doesnt scream "look at me." Its not leather, but the compromise is worth the thinness.

For keys, I kept the few essentials on a key ring and put the rest in the wallet.

If they still dont fit, your pants are way too tight.
