Tom has always kept his wallet in his front hip pockets. When wearing tight jeans (usually on-stage), he's taken to just using a makeshift moneyclip for a few bucks and his ID.

Anyhow, I bought him a new pair of jeans today. They're low rise, tight to mid-thigh. They look good on him, but there's no place to stow his wallet,keys, inhaler, etc. Well, he didn't like the idea of a fanny pack. I suggested he carry a hipster man-purse and he said he'd risk losing it. So I suggested the other urban bohemian standby--his accordion case. He found that ludicrous, though I can't imagine why. Then I brought up thrifted ratty tweed jackets with inside pockets and a bifold wallet, instead of his weird flippy trifold favorite. He did contemplate that for awhile, but glared at me when I said it would help complete his new manbrarian persona.

He won't use the back pockets because his butt will be uneven. He could carry two wallets, I suppose. That might work. Butt pontoons.

I came here to defend the hipster man-purse...

...until I read "butt pontoons." I think I have a new favorite thing.

I rather like the butt pontoons idea. The name just sounds awesome.

A sporran, perhaps? or a wallet pouch?

According to my chiropractor, the thing to do to fight uneven butt is to switch wallet pockets every day!

Just so he doesn't feel alone, and because I don't know many others that do: I usually carry my wallet in my front pocket too, but for security reasons. It's statistically less likely to get stolen there. If my wallet can't fit in the front pocket, I don't wear the jeans/shorts/whatever. During the winter months, when jackets are wearable, I'll carry it in the front inside pocket of whatever jacket I have on. My favorite jacket (from scottevest.com) has a zipper on nearly all pockets, so you can put anything in just about any pocket and feel secure with it there.

Yes, security is a fairly major reason why he's kept it in his front pocket. We lived in DC for a long time, it just made sense. He could also start wearing a bra and stash his stuff there.
