Empty yer coat pockets!

#1

Post by Jimmy_Dean »

I guess it is a different take on the proverbial "empty yer pockets" that I enjoy seeing pop up everyonce in a while.

Thing is, it's getting warmer now and the winter coat's gotta go but when I emptied my pocket, I noticed I carry different tools in my pockets, which are different that my pants' pockets. I found:

-SAK Rescue
-some kind of pen
-Brunton FireLight
-about 50$
-emergency bus tickets
-waterproof matches
-Suunto compas/thermometer
-sunglasses
-small maglight
-plenty of old receipts

I think that's it.

Does anyone else carry different things in their coat pockets?

It has to be very cold for me to wear a coat, and when I do it's usually a Carhartt jacket, nice and toasty. So I emptied those pocket and found, chapstick, two bandaids, and a flairtip pen. Disaapointing, but great thread!!

Mine's boring.
1 pair of work gloves with those wool (military style) liners.
1 pair of driving gloves
Maybe a stocking cap
Lock deicer

I carry a daypack most of the time so whatever doesn't go in my pockets or on my belt goes there.

Coat pockets

Post by mikewww »

Summer and winter (we have very mild winters) I wear one of those jackets without sleeves. This is mainly a "utility belt" to carry all my stuff :

Work key bunch (includes a :spyder: Ladybug)
Car key bunch
House key bunch
Star starlet .25 pistol
:spyder: Military
Wallet
Parker ball pen
512 MB Sandisk memory dongle
Nokia 6310i cellphone
I.D. card
Medication container w/ 3 tablets

Cheers

Mike

Tip : Put as few keys as possible on your car key bunch. The strain will eventually mess up the ignition lock.

Mine's boring
- receipts from the Post Office, the supermaket, and Wal-Mart (thanks to this thread, I just cleaned them out)
- pair of lightweigt gloves
- keys (occasionally, clip them to my shoulder bag more often than not when they're not dangling from the ingnition switch).

While I normally keep Hatch cut-resistant gloves and a Photon microlight in my jacket, the gloves are at home today and the light was gifted to a friend just yesterday for a pocket survival kit he is assembling.

My pockets are bare, my friends. :D

To be fair, I change overcoats too often to put anything important in any of the pockets.

It's an OCD thing: you wouldn't understand. :p

the pockets of my coat -- a huge, early 1970s van heusen monstrosity... tweed lined with black fir -- always contain index cards, pens, and my cell phone. also, if i'm walking outside -- my hands... one of which is usually secretly fondling a knife.

one of the pockets is modified so that i can hide things in the liner, if need be... where they go virtually undetected, as the coat is soooo big and thick. i've found both a flask and a matriarch floating around in there before... ;)
