Yeah, after my "learning experience" I have taken to wearing a leather belt loop with split ring and attaching three sets of things to that that hang discreetly into my front pocket.
1) I have a wallet a little larger than the pouch gear-freek carries that hangs there.
2) I have a tool ring containing a swiss-tech utilikey, asp saphire lite, swiss-tech micro-tek plus
3) house and car keys
