No bag
But fill all my jacket pockets, wallet, phone, keys, medicines, pack of mints, various medicine monitoring cards (because otherwise I forget them when I go for blood tests), pens, and a load of paperwork that was probably not very important anyway and just gets thrown out about once a month.
And a paperback book if going on a long journey. Being able to do this is a major factor in buying coats.

As you can imagine, weather like this weekend gives me a choice between silly bulgy trousers or boiling death.

I used to do that
nearly every coat I have is chosen on purpose for pockets big enough to fit a book

It's clearly the best way to do things
I don;t take it as far as my uncle though, he has a waistcoat with so many pockets he can go for a weekend abroad without even taking hand luggage.

I'm still proud of a time a few years back
when I ripped out the bottom of the pockets of my coat so I could put more stuff in. A camera, phone, book, wallet, 7 pieces of makeup and all sorts of other things got through airport security like that

I used to have a jacket like that
A bit of newspaper to stop the chinking and I could get an extra 5/6 cans to a party
