Not "probably could", definitely could. I've done it to my jackets with a Topit in.

And I don't really understand your comment that the the Topited items would always go to your pocket; they'd always go into the Topit - unless you missed and then they'd go to the floor.

:lol: That made me laugh. If you had a Topit that was linked to your pocket, then they would always go to your Pocket, unless you are thinking of a different thing than I am

Well I would have though that you are unlikely to want to retrieve an item from a topit, so having it always go to your pocket wouldn't be a big deal. If you did need to retrieve it from the topit for some reason though, it would be just as easy to join topit and pocket in a way such that the item sits in both together.

It's perfectly possible to have them separate, which is actually a huge advantage, as you can then either retrieve things from your 'pocket', or leave them where they lie, but still have things in your pocket.

Bearing that in mind, why would you have a topit that always goes into the pocket?

Ace of Kev, it was only 2 days ago you didn't know what a Topit was.

Items you Topit are going to be in your Topit, not your pocket. You can use the outside pocket to access and retrieve ditched items if you wish.

If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

well we cant exactly tell you what a topit is but its a utility device for vanishing and loading objects, champagne bottles for example.
now i can't go into too much detail but think of it this way if the end of your topit sits back to back with your jacket pocket and your pocket has a slit then you have in essense a bouble walled pocket or change pocket, items can then be retrieved or left in situe as required.
some people are getting confused with a topit and a "shute" which is a device which connects one pocket to another usualy breats to side pocket and was primarily used to retrieve a vanished signed coin or ring.
i believe that the origional topit has been redisgined to incorporate a "shute" and of course there are a few variations on the topit idea.
hope that clears the pocket topit question, mods please feel free to edit as required if to much has been exposed.
