Interesting article, but I fear a little simplistic. Regardless of the number of pockets in his apparel, DH is happy to divest himself of items - wallet, keys, sunglasses, etc. that he will ask me to carry in my purse. FWIW, I've got his wallet and the car keys in the gold clutch I carried at the NYE wedding
I still adore the formal tuxedo (above) but as a 'look' and not so much as a political statement.
