Credit Cards Bulking American Men’s Pants |
|
Continued from page 1 |
The swollen size of
wallets is getting the attention of everyone from
pants designers seeking to minimize the odd
imbalance between men’s left and right cheeks and
auto designers seeking to create a more comfortable
ride for the afflicted modern male.
“I can’t ride more than
twenty or thirty minutes with my wallet in my back
pocket, not like I could when I was twenty five. And
if I take it out and leave it within reach of my
kids or wife, the cash just disappears. Help!”
Search engines return
over 1.4 million hits on “Fat Wallet”, which is
becoming an almost accepted affliction, apparently.
“Several of my friends
are switching to man purses,” Twitterer
“LeviathanPants” reported after we Tweeted about
this. “Sure, they may be a little out of vogue in,
say, downtown Grand Rapids, but more and more men
are going to be drawn in. They’re so practical.”
Social fashionist Ted
Underwood reporting on the trend commented gravely
that the likelihood of this wallet crisis slowing
down was about as likely as the shift as the trend
away from Super-Sizing the fries.
