Take my money, or least you can try. But seriously, I plan on giving lot of my money to Clothing Arts, they make kick ass gear like these Pick-Pocket Proof shorts.
I was recently talking packable travel pants with a coworker who is planning a family trip to Italy. He is a cop and is a bit paranoid about looking like a cop or too much like a tourist while he is tourist-ing around. To help him out I started searching for hidden pocket clothing and stumbled upon Clothing Arts and WOW, I am super impressed.
As we all know, a challenge with EDC “fashion” is that 95% of the companies out there will have you looking like an off-duty cop. If that is the look that you are looking for, they literally have you covered. Me, I just want clothes that fits and will allow me to carry all my favorite EDC gear without any issues.
Anyone that has seen me at trade shows has probably seen me in a pair of cargo shorts. The problem that I have with most cargo shorts is my shit tends to fall out of my pockets and I am constantly checking to see if my wallet and phone are still on my person. Clothing Arts has not only solved that issue by adding zippers and straps to secure pockets, but they have also added hidden zippered pockets inside of pockets. So, If I can’t find my wallet, it’s probably lost in one of a hundred plus pockets that come on a pair of pants and shorts. Seriously, these shorts are designed to give a professional pick pocket extreme anxiety issues.
Keep on reading to see what I mean.
