We’re always looking for interesting stories about men’s fashion here, and we spotted one the other day in the Globe and Mail about pockets on men’s trousers and jackets. The article makes a very good point by saying that slimmer styles of trouser mean we have less room in our pockets for the ever-growing number of things we need to keep in them such as wallets, cell phones and keyrings.

The fact is that most men carry a wallet in their pockets stuffed with all manner of credit cards, handfuls of coins, receipts for the last two years and an ever-growing number of business cards. Even where a wallet is kept for the sole purpose of storing cash, our cell phones are getting bigger again as we want to update Facebook and Twitter from our phones, look at Google Maps or check our email on the go while also using our phones for GPS and to take photographs.

The thing is, and it’s something we’ve always known, guys, when we shove all this junk into our pockets, it looks pretty bad. Having a huge lump against your leg or your bum cheek does not flatter anyone. There’s a reason that women carry handbags and this is it.

Sadly, we have no idea how to remedy it either, save the Globe and Mail’s suggestion of inside pockets. If anybody’s got suggestions, we’re listening.
