Stashitwear foils pickpockets, but pleases drug dealers

If you live or have ever traveled in countries where petty theft is conducted openly on busy streets, you know it is essential to take protective actions against pickpockets. It is never all the comfortable to be the one person with the travel belt screaming “tourist” to while you simply try to keep your money and identification safe. Shashitwear is supposedly comfortable and is secure. The hidden-compartment underwear is so convenient, in fact, that police force is worried that drug traffickers will start ordering the secret drawers in bulk.

Stashitwear helps everyone with drugs or weapons

The Wall Street Journal reports that New York police have discovered that drug dealers are now using Stashitwear to conceal small amounts of narcotics and small caliber firearms. Police Capt. Vincent Patti of Brooklyn New York explains that they have to search suspects better now. Stashitwear owner Phillip Scott, 55, told the WSJ that none of his customers gave “even a hint at illegal activity for their purchases.”

However, Patti doesn’t buy Scott’s excuse.

“A lot of drugs or a small .38 or .22 caliber handgun… They’re not advertising these things for drug dealers but they have to know they’re going to be used by some people who break the law.”

Be stylish while stashing

Boxers to thongs are offered by all of these secret-compartment underwear companies similar to Florida-based Stashitwear. A wholesale purchase is much cheaper, says Scott, than the $14 paid for one pair. The secret pocket is accessible through a six- to eight-inch opening in the waistband, and also the pocket itself could be 12 inches deep, depending upon the size of the garment.

Stashitwear explains that the pocket goes from front to back which “basically makes your whole crotch area a secret place for your valuables.”

Scott makes Stashitwear site changes

Personality was what Scott was thinking when posting a country picture of himself on the Stashitwear website. Scott has since dressed in business clothes with sunglasses for a new photo, after NYPD concerns and also the Wall Street Journal both contacted him. Thankfully, the hidden compartment underwear remains the same.

    Oh what is all the hype about? Just orders yours today at http://www.Stashitwear.com and make me really happy. Seriously, if someone asks to buy them for illegal purposes then of course I don’t sell to them. If someone contacts me and says ” I want to purchase a pair of those great Stashitwear so I can smuggle 100 pounds of Cocaine across the border” and i sell them to the undercover agent then I will be immediately arrested,charged with conspiricy to smuggles 100 pounds of cocaine, sentenced to life in prison and all because I sold a pair of underwear. But just because someone uses them for something illegal is their responsibility not mine. There are now secret pocket on shoes, belts, hats, pants, shorts, socks, bras, and now underwear. At least you have a lot to choose from.
