The only jeans I have trouble putting **** in are Helmut Lang. My julian red calis can take a wallet just fine, even though they are a bit slimmer than HL. Don't really use pants pockets that much, though.

+1 you're pants are TOO TIGHT.

oh, and, there is no "stylish" purse for a man to carry. it's a case of mutual exclusivity. you can either be stylish or you can carry a purse you can not do both.

one of the first things i check before i buy jeans is pocket size. if the back pocket can successfully hold my wallet and my chapstick, it's perfect.

so while jeans like dior homme and apc fail this test, KMW, nudie, and april 77 pass with flying colors. then again, my back pockets tend to take a beating since i also shove a mini u-lock in there when i bike.

Why do you think people here are willing to pay upwards of $90 for a sterling silver FlatHead key ring for their belt loop?

Seriously though, I keep my wallet in the back pocket. My cell phone is large (about the size of an iphone but twice as thick) and it's fine in my back pocket unless I sit down. My keyring is down to a house key, thick car key/remote and a bottle opener (a necessity!)

If I need to carry anything more, I bring along my shoulderbag (aka manpurse)

I laugh when I wear my 5EP LDBs because the pocket bags are so damn deep that I have to dig around to get at stuff. Only down side there is that all my crap sits lower on my leg (gee, that just sounds bad)...looks kinda funny.

I refuse to carry a manbag. I do have a Timbuk2, but it is more a briefcase kinda dealyo

Agree on everything but cell phone. Show me a small, slim phone that has all of the functions of my N95? Yes, I use 99.9% of the functions.

it's time to man up, grow a penis, and sit on a redmoon. the bruising subsides after a few weeks and leaves a permanent indentation on your ass.

The wallet pocket will stretch out a bit, don't worry about that too much.


Says who? my front pocket on my slim jims is faded with a cell phone. Life has gone on and it looks fine

No, it doesn't. hi~val is correct, albeit a little exuberant with his use of vowels.

We've had this discussion before, no need to start it up again.

It's actually quite alright... the pocket is there for me to put things in it and a rectangular outline doesn't bother me.
