Mega-Keychain carry in warmer weather

My mega-keychain rides comfortably in the pocket of my peacoat in the winter. My peacoat is sturdy and the pockets easily support the weight of the mega-keychain.
Warmer weather arrives. The venerable peacoat is hung up until next winter. The lighter jackets come out. Uh-oh. The mega-keychain makes the pockets sag, which makes the jackets sag, which makes me look like I have a dangerous list to one side.
The whole effect is sloppy and unkempt. For those of you who have oversize keychains, where and how do you carry them once warmer weather arrives?
I'm wide open here. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Right now, my mega-keychain is living in the center console of my Subaru Forester. Don't know where else to put it.

Split the load between port and starboard... the sag is even, hense much less noticable, and you won't list any more <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The thought had occurred to me. Your suggestion makes sense. Split one super-heavy keychain into two more easily handled keychains. That seems the easiest path to take.

I appreciate your setup. In fact, I envy your setup, because it won't work for me. I carry two wallets, one for cash and one for ID, both in my front jeans pockets. There go two pockets right off the bat.
I recently tried to go back to carrying one wallet. Things didn't go well.

pill holders
1 3/4 " long x 3/4 " diameter with rubber o ring i picked them up at CVC for 4.99 each. great quality. a little heavy though, i hate the plastic one you find in most places. i was surprised on how much i could get into one.
