Men.. what is the deal with this? Why in the world do so many men put their wallets in their back pocket. I can not tell you the amount of times I am notice men having their wallet fallout on their pants on the subway. In the last year I have had to toss wallets at guys accidently leaving their wallets on the subway train several times . Why do men think this is a good idea? Is there not a more secure place to put your wallet or should more pants have a back pocket with a cover or zipper to help kept these wallets in place. Is this a fashion trend or just poor judgement? Please explain.

It is a fashion dilemma because unless a man has better pockets somewhere on his outfit, or a backpack, or a satchel, or a messenger bag, or a "murse," their unsecured back pocket may be the only slot available.

Chain wallets used to be an all-right solution to this problem but maybe due to style preference they're too rough-looking or goth or emo. Chain Wallet Sales Declining

This 46 yr old man has always had his wallet in my back pocket. Never ONCE fell out or otherwise been an issue for me.

Strange thread.

Agreed. Never had a problem with it. Has nothing to do fashion.

Always back pocket for me. It denies women a looked at my irresistible tight butt. In a small way it feels like a win for masculinism for me.

It's uncomfortable sitting with a wallet in your back pocket.

I have carried my wallet in my left back pocket (yes, I am left handed) for 60 years or more.
I have ridden on trains, planes, helicopters, buses, and cars. Never lost a wallet.
However, I have never ridden a subway car. Maybe there is something different about them...

I have always kept my wallet in my right front pocket. I was an avid motorcycle rider from 16 to 30 and my wallet was much more comfortable in my front pocket then the rear pocket.

In the last 5 years I have sometimes put the wallet in my left front chest pocket.
