Editor's Note: With north of 300,000 Pick-Pocket Proof Pants now walking the world, the odds of two travelers both wearing them in the wild increase by the day. If you do run into one, the best thing to say is, "nice pants!" That is what our founder / designer Adam said when he spotted a fellow traveler wearing a pair in Taiwan a few years back.

Hello Clothing Arts,

I am writing to tell you my encounter with one of your customers. I recently went on a National Geographic tour to Egypt. I met a fellow traveler on our tour and said we have the same tailor in pants. He told me he loves the pants and they saved him on his last trip to Italy. His backpack was robbed while wearing it but they didn't get his passport or other id's because they were in his Clothing Arts pants. He said to me they work great and I will be well protected while wearing mine. By the way he was the expedition leader for our trip!

Dear Clothing Arts,

I was just arriving in Cairo after a long flight. I had taken my wallet out of my backpack and used the ATM card to get some cash. I never keep my wallet on me when I travel but for some reason I put it in my back pocket (against the advice of my wife) and closed the zipper and buttons.

As my wife and I were standing just outside of the terminal waiting on our driver, a group of people pushed along the sidewalk and forced me to move back. I fell back into someone and when I moved forward, a man followed very close behind me. My wife told me to check my wallet, which I did. Luckily, I had the Clothing Arts pants on and everything buttoned down. He got the buttons undone but the zipper was still keeping everything secure.

Thanks!
