Carrying delicate instruments in a pants pocket is inconceivable to me.

Anyway, these are SUPER COOL and Sedona will probably wear one. I will not because they don't have blue ones and they aren't cheap!!!

Just ordered one. In my size my the only options were olive drab or black. I chose olive drab with standard shipping because the $15 they wanted for two day shipping was too much.

Ah but I do have my paperwhite in its protective sleeve. To be fair I don't do it all the time though. I've got a case for my netbook that I often slip the Paperwhite into as well when I'm going out. And the only problem I might have with my cell is if it's turned on and I pocket dial it by accident. That's only happened once. I was in the cab and somehow called the cab by accident. The cab that had picked me up was the one who was taking the calls so that was interesting to say the least.

They are pretty dang cool shirts. They have a pair of pants I've been eyeing. I'm waiting to see if they ever fall in their "one-day" sale. I wear a long pant and hardly anyone makes long pants in my size.

Yeah olive and black? COME ON, PEOPLE! At least one shade of blue! I don't care much for white t-shirts either. I will wear black, but the problem is, I can't wear it here in the summer. I'd roast. They need more colors.

Or burgundy. Burgundy would be righteous.

YES. I could get behind that color! And wear it!!!

Learning to sew and alter clothing has been a very useful skill for me! Though I've been known to add pockets, I've also made tiny little crossbody bags to hold my toys.

Hahahaha. Oh, if I could share...nevermind. Yeah. I tried to learn to sew. Several times. If anyone needs a pair of shorts that turned into a pair underwear with pockets as I continuously tried to get the legs the same length...never mind. Just never mind.

Moving on from my disasters to actual useful clothing--I'm very into pockets and also loved these hoodies:

An excellent choice for pockets.

For me, sewing and knitting are a matter of survival. That's how I repair myself.

[saoir]

Indeed. I asked my last GF to sew a mesh pocket into the inside of my winter coat last year. She worked in the sewing business for many years and did it in half an hour. Fits my Kindle in it's case perfectly.

And so I have two shirts on order, both the same size, each one from a different vendor. If everything runs normally, one shirt will be too large and the other will be too small.

[xendula]

I also hate purses. When not at work, I am usually active.

For running, I use a large-size Sprigs Big Banjee wrist wallet that can hold my iPod touch, credit cards, 2 kleenex and my keys. I have about 5 of them because they're totally awesome. I also have two Phubbys, which allow me to manipulate the iTouch screen through the fabric.
My Note2, though, is a different matter. I found a super slim My Tagalongs waistpack that I can hide underneath my shirt, or wear cross-body in the summertime. I also have the flipbelt, but misplaced it before my first run, and can't figure out where it is...

My next phone will be much much smaller, maybe even a watch.

I also get running gear with a zippered pocket at the back, like (evil) Lululemon gear.

Do report back on the shirts!

Next Post--that bangee wrist thing looks useful. Hmm. I am not a purse person either. I haven't carried one since the day some loser ran past me at the grocery story and ripped it off my arm. The joke was on him. I didn't even have loose change in that purse. I lost a turquoise barrette that I loved, but there was no cash and I had my car keys in my hand. This was before cell phones so no cell, nothing of value. Loser. May be rot in the garbage can where he probably threw my purse.

Those wrist wallets look like they'd be extremely annoying and uncomfortable for a smart phone, or anything that doesn't have any give to it.
