A leather belt bag is definitely high on my list as a way to keep phone/wallet/cards, misc etc out of my pockets. My running belt suits this purpose in some cases but doesn’t often work outside of a gorpy outfit context. Maybe I should lean heavier into the euro-style crossbody bag??
I love the way your brain works!! This was both hilarious and educational... and can I say I'm slightly afraid of A? Truly existing on a freer plane than the rest of us
My friend Melanie has been teaching a workshop on Pocket Politics for the last few years, which I feel would be a perfect accompaniment to your friend’s belt bag making mission. Her project Future Archive is also aptly titled given the multi century spanning you’ve been doing in this essay… loved it! ♥️
Love this! As a pockets-or-dingy-tote-bag gal, I totally get your friend A. I've long been searching for a small, vertically-oriented leather belt bag just big enough for my phones + keys. Looking forward to seeing your recs!
I just ordered my first ever posture brace and joint supports, very very tempted to try sew a corsetry style fabric on the outside to add maximise my use of lingerie as pockets.
Fusing my two favorite things- history and fashion! Loved this piece!!

oooo i’ll keep my eye out for one that matches the description!
I was meh on the Pockets book, wanted her to get more into the politics of them.
A fun examination of waist bags, Mac! I can’t imagine not carrying a bag at all times (I rarely have enough pockets). 💕
Super-fun article, thank you!
i get that, the politics of pockets are so interesting!!!
Yeah, I kept thinking, “Take a stand!”
