Messenger bag, knapsack, belt clip. Waaaay too conspicuous. Stash your stuff in cleverly cut clothing that doesn’t look like it has something to hide.
1/ Kangol Denim Army Cap
Perfect for: Foiling short pickpockets.
Geek factor: Made of Flexfit fabric, featuring an elasticized sweatband and a sneaky pocket in the crown. Conservation status of wallets: endangered.
Kangol Denim Army Cap | $35
2/ Koyono Blackcoat-T
Perfect for: Wearing your tech on your sternum.
Geek factor: OK, so the red zipper isn’t particularly discreet (just wear a layer), but the shirt comes in Power Dry athletic material that keeps sweat away from your skin and your iPhone. As the company says: “Zipper goes down, gadgets come out.”
Koyono Blackcoat-T | $26
3/ Scottevest Cotton Hoodie With 13 Pockets
Perfect for: Making your backpack worry about job security.
Geek factor: It’s a veritable gadget caddy made from ultrathin fabric that lets you Shazaam or check in on Foursquare while the device is still in your pocket. Bonus: Velcro tabs and rubber cuffs channel your headphone cable from the chest pocket to your ears.
Scottevest Cotton Hoodie | $70
4/ Tilley Urbane Traveller Cargo-Pocket Pants
Perfect for: Smuggling your flask to the office—or the trail.
Geek factor: These trousers are light, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant, and they boast a max UV protection rating of 50-plus. Rugged enough for hikes, tailored enough for work, the Traveller has Velcro pockets big enough to carry books, plus a stealthy pocket-in-a-pocket for whatever you’re hiding from the TSA.
Tilley Urbane Traveller Cargo-Pocket Pants | $149
5/ Path Stash Mid Skate Shoe
Perfect for: Keeping your cash safe during the daily grind.
Geek factor: With a midtop cut for ankle support and a tough vulcanized outsole, this suede skater boasts a clandestine pocket on its tongue. If your feet don’t mind, it can replace your wallet … which may or may not improve performance on the half-pipe.
Path Stash Mid Skate Shoe | $75
