Was that a three-week old candy wrapper in your pocket? How many of those keys do you actually use? And what about that fat wallet? Do you really need to carry all of that everywhere you go? Take the (Marie) Kondo craze to your pocket and get rid of anything in there that doesn’t give you joy.

Pull everything out and throw it on the table. Put back the things that make you smile.

Are your pockets empty now? We thought so. Now lets replace that crap with items of beauty you will enjoy.

Keys. The bane of the pocket. Pull off every key you never use and put those pocket-fillers elsewhere. What’s left are the one – or three – keys that go in your pocket. This Studebaker-crafted key chain is so pretty and minimalist that it’s worthy of the prime real estate that is your pocket.

This thing! Wow. You can cram a bunch of cards, a key, some cash into this and still fit it in your front pocket. There’s no extra gear here. But you might need to watch a video to understand how it can be larger on the inside than on the outside.
