How to make a detachable Utili-pocket

Hey everyone! One of our viewers asked for advice on adding cargo pockets to dress pants or jeans. Well... we decided to nix the dress pants idea and present them with the untra-versatile detachable utili-pocket. It's a great way to add more pockets to normal pants.

 I feel an urge to mod this thing... need security... need tiny padlock... need bullet-resistant strength! (nah, kevlar's a bit too much for me) need... NEed... NEED... NEED MORE ACCESSIBILITY!!! (gotta admit that it's a bit hard to stick your hand in there if you've got a really big hand)

back to normal speech

Nice! There is some room for improvement though. Since I live in a place of great danger, I shall put a pocket in a pocket so that pick pockets would have to pick the whole pocket which is not good for pick pocketers since that'll blow their trademark stealth. That reminds me; I gotta get another belt.

If you add a double loop on the back, instead of the single tie, you can have the bag straddle a belt loop and not slide back and forth (which can be a problem on women's pants, which sometimes have all of 4 belt loops).

Just an idea. :)

it's nice, but not really simply detachable. you'd have to take your belt off, then take it off, then put your bet back on...
