Recently I saw a movie, "The Intern" featuring Robet De Niro as
a
retired guy who decides he still needs to work. So he becomes
an
intern at a start-up Internet fashion-sales company, the only
one
wearing a suit while everyone else is casually dressed.
But he has a secret weapon, handkerchiefs
in a vest pocket of
the
suit, which exists specifically for that purpose. The hankies are
essential not for one's own nose, but for when a lady needs to
have
a good cry.
Well, here I am casually dressed, wondering how I can manage
to
have a hanky-holding pocket when all my usual pockets are full
of
other stuff. I do prefer to Be Prepared for various
circumstances. I don't want to wear a suit, so...I need a way to
add
an extra pocket.
Thus this Idea. Some might call it a pouch instead of a pocket,
but even if it was called a pouch, I'm not sure of any that are
available that can be clipped onto one's belt or the waistband of
one's pants. I might even want two or three of them....

You can clip on as many pockets as you need. [xenzag, Feb 21 2016]

Described and illustrated in a Dilbert cartoon by Scott Adams, but probably not WKTE. |

Jeans should feature a kerchief pocket on the left, corresponding to the watchpocket on the right. |

Sadly, WKTE since at least the 1400's. Pockets were
originally separate items, hence the nursery rhyme: |
|
| |
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon 'round it. |
|
| |
How convenient. Did anyone witness Kitty finding the
pocket? |

[MaxwellBuchanan], I'm quite aware that for a long time a
coin pouch was carried about at the end of a drawstring
(note the term "cutpurse", a thief with a knife to cut that
pouch loose). |
|
| |
In this case though, the pocket/pouch is open all the time,
like an ordinary pocket. And it doesn't dangle, since clips
hold it to belt or waistband. |

There is a product called porta-pocket which attaches to a Velcro band so even nudists can have pockets. [link] |

I was thinking this might be marketed to naturists. The standard issue pockets we come with are all associated with various biological functions. |
|
| |
But that would leave open the question of where you clip it on. |
|
| |
And doesn't that question just open a whole new can of worms ... |

Lucky you had a detachable pocket to keep your can-opener in, isn't it ? |
