Dear Clothing Arts,

During my October trip to Rome, my Pick-Pocket Proof Pants saved my wallet while on the Metro. During the ride, the man standing next to me told me that the pair of people to my right were pick-pockets and to be careful. I lowered my hand down to my side to block any of their attempts. When I got off the train, I noticed that one of the buttons had been unbuttoned; however, the other was still buttoned, and the zipper remained closed. My pants protected my wallet just as well (or better?) than my hand!

Thank you for having great pants. I recommend them to my friends.

Best regards,

Jon G. from Santa Barbara, California

Editor's Note: This is your 51st stopped pick-pocket in Paris!

Dear Clothing Arts,

In Paris, visiting the gardens at Versailles we might have fallen victim to the fake bird poop trick if not for my pickpocket proof shorts. I had never heard of it prior, but while the couple was wiping off the fake bird poop they sprayed on us, I noted the guy's hand trying to get into my pocket. They gave up at that point.

The shorts and pants I bought for this trip have already paid for themselves. Next stop, Rome!

Editor's Note: Amazingly, this is your 50th stopped pick-pocket in Paris! We just make these pants. You take them with you on your travels and put the pockets to the test against the best pick-pockets in the world. To stop 1 pick-pocket is an accomplishment, let alone 50 in a single city. From the entire Clothing Arts team, thank you for the support, and continued safe travels!!

Dear Clothing Arts,

Another Parisian Pick-Pocket was thwarted. We were getting on the Metro in Paris this afternoon on our first day in this wonderful city and was jostled by three men. I shifted to give myself more room and noticed my pants pocket on my Clothing Arts pants was no longer secure.

These pants saved me from losing my wallet and ruining the start of our trip. Thank you for making such wonderful pants.

Editor's Note: This is your 49th known stopped pick-pocket in Paris! Lin's testimonial came to us via a ***** review of her Women's Travel Pants. Her husband was wearing a pair of Business Traveler Shorts at the time he stopped the pick-pocket in Paris. We followed up with her via email to get more details on how it happened which you can find below.

-- Here Is Our Follow-Up --

Dear Clothing Arts,

We were on Metro 9, traveling from Iena station to Franklin Roosevelt station to transfer to Metro 1. Metro 9 is a VERY busy line 24/7, and on the weekend, the metro cars on this line are packed like sardines. The metro plays a looping announcement warning of pickpockets. Just as the doors closed, my husband felt a hand scrambling for his side pocket. He grabbed the man's hand and looked him in the eye. When the doors opened at the next stop, he jumped off and rushed away.
 
My husband turned to me and said, "Good thing you bought these pants". The pickpockets look like everyday people. Suspect everyone! We love Paris. It's a big city with big city challenges, especially for travelers. But I won't hesitate for a second to visit anytime I'm in Europe.
 
Love the pants!

Lin C. from Indio, California

Editor's Note: This testimonial came to us via a Facebook post. Shari K. is from Saint George, Utah, and her husband is a long-time wearer of our Pick-Pocket Proof Apparel, first upgrading in 2015. Their order number was in the 13,000s and we are now up to 200,000+ orders! Her husband was wearing a pair of our Business Traveler Pants when he stopped the pick-pocket.

Shari mentions elastic waist in her comment. While we offer a standard waist to maintain shape while traveling, our new generation Women's Pants feature stretch as a function of the fabric so there is some give in the waist, just not full elastic.

Here is how it happened:
