Anyone who wore polos, ray bans, rainbows and khaki shorts every day to your econ class should really just not post in this thread kill yourself.

i listed 4 things: wallet, keys, phone, and pocketknife

what would you suggest? i've already said sitting on any of those is uncomfortable and i try to keep my phone in good shape...it's great that you only need your license and carry no cash or credit cards, you only have two keys (house and car), you don't own a cell phone, and you have no need for a pocketknife...a lot of us "regular" people aren't like that, though

my cargo shorts end above my knee...though i don't have the irrational hate that some of you people do for those that hit at or below the knee

it's just funny because i think some of you people so against cargo shorts have this caricature in your head and haven't seen (or refuse to see) what a normal, non-CS student adult wears

you guys are conflating price tag with fashion... and then getting angry about it

you can buy not-ugly, regular shorts for the same price as, or less than, cargo shorts

i'm only using these as a point of reference. i don't wear patagonia nor do i pay that amount for a pair of shorts.




i think the people on the fashion side are, again, arguing against all the man boys who continue to wear 10+ year old cargo shorts from AE, A&F, and the like. Probably still in camo print with the same damn horizontal striped rugby shirt they bought during the same shopping trip.

quagmire02, just knowing you through TWW and the various outdoor threads you post in I can say for certain you don't fall into that category. And for the most part have been defending cargo shorts for their practicality and not their fashion sense. which is completely fine.

You mean everyone? You get judged by what you wear. It's a fact of life. Everyone judges you by what you wear and you judge everyone by what they wear. Welcome to planet earth. Do you really think if your friend came up to you dressed like Bozo the Clown, you wouldn't think any differently of him?

Do you really need to convince yourself of this so much that this stupid crap is the kind of stuff you come up with?

Throw away the pocket knife crocodile dundee. Wallet goes in the back left pocket; welcome to being an adult male. If the wallet is too big, throw some stuff away and get a smaller wallet (http://bellroy.com/) you should only need your license, a credit card or two, a debit card, and a work id, anything else (like insurance id cards or business cards) you can just take a picture of and keep in your phone, you only need the stuff printed on them anyways. Keys go in the front right pocket (throw the knife in there too if you must), phone goes in all alone in the left pocket.

It's not that big of a deal if you wear them, especially if you're not going anywhere where you want to look good, but I would encourage you to buy a decent outfit and wear it around for a while and note the confidence you gain after getting compliments on your clothes.

1) Why do you give a fuck
2) What if I am left handed
3) Wallet goes in whatever pocket I put it in because who gives a shit. One time a guy told me "I keep my wallet in my right pocket and brass knuckles in my left so if anyone tries to rob me I can just knock them the fuck out"

There are tons of places that need physical copies of shit to scan or clubs that involve membership cards(I am looking at you nightlight)

Quote :

Again who cares. I put shit wherever there isn't shit, because that seems practical. What on earth would you do if someone gave you something that you had to hold onto and you happened to put it in your left pocket!!! Where is the rule page for this?

you have no clue what's in my wallet and while i could not carry a card or two on a regular basis, having more than one credit card and more than $1 bill or two is non-negotiable...and sitting on it doesn't feel good, end of story

keys are already in the front right pocket...knife would make it cramped (my pockets don't go to my knees) and it's more difficult to access the knife one-handed (something i do on a semi-regular basis) if i have to go through the keys

no, that's where the knife (and anything else i happen to acquire/pick up during the day) goes

I do tons of retarded shit and I get by without a pocket knife. If you have a pocket knife and you don't work in facilities or maint or something that involves opening a shit load of boxes then you're trying to be macguyver and you aren't. You're no better than fedora dudes.

well, fuck. i thought you could use knives for a number of things outside of opening boxes

5/29/2013 4:03:18 PM

I said facilities or maintenance too. I think the whole thing is that if you are doing shit at your house or on your property that involves knives, get a real knife. If you are doing shit at work that involves cutting shit then ask your work for better supplies.

I don't see another reason to have a knife.

i know lots of people who keep their wallet in one of their front pockets

cause its a lot less likely to get pickpocketed

they live in cities like New York and Chicago, cities where Real Men live

5/29/2013 4:08:09 PM

I have a pocket knife in my car, in my office, and at home. very rarely have i needed one, in my day to day activities, where i can't get to it easily at one of those locations.

5/29/2013 4:09:06 PM

I used a pocket knife to tighten a screw on my glasses, open a package, pick a splinter out of my palm, cut a mucinex pill in half, and readjust the valve stem on my bike, all since Monday. (are we now talking about how unfashionable it is to carry a pocket knife?)

5/29/2013 4:09:07 PM

god i hope not! the pocket knife was just something that needs it's own pocket.

i have a bellroy too, i am very happy with it and would also recommend it. I have one of the smallest models, it fits everything i need and fits in my back pocket. i didn't have to throw out anything i need, there is plenty of room in it. i carry cash in it too.

(i don't carry work badges in there, those badges and safety cards are all on a lanyard or retractable)

i have plenty of space in my non-cargo pocket for my wallet, in the pocket opposite of the pocket with my keys. i can fit my wallet and phone in the same regular, non-cargo, pocket.

[Edited on May 29, 2013 at 4:12 PM. Reason : summary: no need for cargo pockets]

5/29/2013 4:11:03 PM

fuck sitting on my wallet all of the time, it goes in the bottom right pocket. keys in top right, phone in bottom left, knife+sharpie+small cash in top left.

My wallet has to carry too much stuff so to keep it in a back pocket except when I have to wear dress pants.

5/29/2013 4:26:12 PM

I have a AAA card, Healthcare card, metro pass for some fucking reason and a bunch of club/venue cards - but my wallet is pretty thin unless for some horrible reason I have cash in it.

5/29/2013 4:30:09 PM

i'll tell you a few things i have in my wallet:

- cash
- license
- debit card
- business credit card
- Costco card, VIC card (my phone doesn't scan well with a Barcode app)
- about a dozen of my business cards so i'll always have some on me
- vehicle registration and insurance card
- MTA metro card, though it expires in like a week so i can throw it out
- Sonitrol alarm swipe card for a particular jobsite
- "haircut card" (to get a free haircut after X number of visits)

but there is a small removable 2-fold part of my wallet that my license/registration/insurance is in in case i wanna go super slim, i'll just toss a debit card and some cash inside

[Edited on May 29, 2013 at 4:31 PM. Reason : .]

5/29/2013 4:30:19 PM

Why do you carry a VIC card, can you not remember a phone number?

5/29/2013 4:33:56 PM

i carry a similar amount of items and my wallet is pretty thin. i carry minimal cash and i'm not a receipt hoarder.

Quote :

"- vehicle registration and insurance card"

not to derail the thread, but why not just keep these items in your car?

5/29/2013 4:34:18 PM

his haircut card could probably live in his car too

5/29/2013 4:34:51 PM

why punch in my 10 digit phone number when i do the self checkout at teeter when i can just swipe the card over the laser?

and i have two vehicles, so i guess i could leave each registration in each car, while keeping my insurance card in my wallet

but hey, why not just sit butt naked in the house all day every day?

5/29/2013 4:36:38 PM

Okay George

5/29/2013 4:37:25 PM

before i had a VIC card, the cashier would usually just put in somebody's phone number for the discounts

but its not like a VIC card or vehicle registration are that bulky

5/29/2013 4:38:59 PM

they add up

as made evident by you not being able to sit on your wallet, and me being able to
