Well, here is what you should never put in your pockets of a Custom Suit:
Your hands.
In case you don’t know, that above, is a picture of Mitt Romney and what looks to be some suspect wimpster.
You should never put you hands in your pockets when you are in a Custom Suit (or get pleats for that matter). Unless of course, you are reaching for the mini-heater or a Bankroll to Grease someone.
While we are on the subject of Mitt Romney, check out him during the most recent debates:
Did you see Romney calling for the referee (Anderson Cooper in this case) for help, when things got heated with Rick Perry?
This guy was the snitch on the playground when you were a kid.
No heart.
Lord help us if Mitt “The Snitch” Romney is our next president.
I know smoking is your thing (best pickup line) so I thought I would ask. Do you carry a lighter on you all the time? And do you have a cigarette case you carry on you? I ask because I find it such a bitch to carry a pack on me while rolling out at night. Hell, I can’t stand carrying too much shit on me besides my keys, phone and wallet. So my question is how do you operate?
And many times I have been asked where I carry everything on a night out.
Let me break it down:
Side Jacket Pockets:
I know you are supposed to carry as little as possible in all your pockets, but a G has got to smoke.
In the Right Jacket Pocket, I carry two lighters. Typically Zippo’s filled to the brim. (Same thing, you don’t want a flint to break, or run out of fluid at The Moment of Truth, and I don’t mean that dope Guru track either.) Sometimes a Dupont Lighter or a Dunhill lighter. And a small set of keys.
Ticket Pocket:
I get almost all my Custom Suits with Ticket Pockets. I typically don’t put anything in them unless it I am going to The Fights, The Racetrack or maybe The Opera. In which case I will put my tickets in The Ticket Pocket, make sense? (Don’t laugh, a fly girl took me to The Opera earlier this year when I was in America.)
Breast Pocket of Jacket:
Only one thing should ever go here: The Pocket Square.
In the Right Inside Jacket Pocket, I keep a huge CASH Bankroll. (Disclaimer: I might not be telling the truth about the location of huge CASH Bankroll. I still have way too many Rivals out there and things can get sticky like the back of a stamp).
Inside Pen Pocket of Jacket:
I keep a pen. And no, I don’t roll Montblanc’s or expensive pens.
I do appreciate their value, but I just can’t be bothered.
Secret Pocket:
I always have a “Secret Pocket” sewn into all my Custom Suits. Where is it exactly? Do me a favor.
In here I keep (maybe) some Gold coins (in case the Apocalypse hits), Beeks or Beans (if the night calls for it), or Top Secret Documents.
Jimmy Hat Inside Jacket Pocket:
In the Jimmy Hat Pocket (not the official name by the way) I keep jimmy hats. Multiple. You never know when a swoop is going to go down (so to speak).
Pants Pockets:
Left Trouser Pocket, I keep a folded up piece of paper for notes, and backup important information in case I lose my phone (as you can see, I don’t leave anything to chance).
Right Trouser Pocket, I keep nothing. (Sometimes the hotel key card of some dope suite).
Pockets are Frogmouth in case you were wondering.
So where do I keep the heater?
Great question.
I don’t have a special pocket sewn into my jackets in case my Tailor ever gets leaned on.
