Yukinojo wallet-on-a-chain: stupid question (be warned!)

Mar 21, 2006

    1. All right. I admit it. I'm middle-aged and uncool. WTF is up with Yukinojo's wallet? Somebody talk me through this slowly, I beg you.

      Step 1: clip the free end of the chain to one of his belt loops.

      Step 2: :?

      Surely the wallet doesn't just hang there, bouncing against his ankle when he walks? (Not that he actually walks, being a doll, but . . . you know.) There isn't enough room to fit it in any of his pants pockets without ripping the stitches. Is the idea to open the wallet--those are nifty pocket details on the inside, by the way--and snap it around his belt?

      If so, all I can say is that I had a wallet like that in the '90s, and it was dorky THEN. :roll:
       
    2. I was able to fit the wallet into the back pocket. ^^;

      And by this, I guess I am a Queen Dork, with many others. For I, as many do, wear a wallet and chain. ^^
       
    3. Yeah, you put it in the pocket, so the chain shows as dangling some. Apperantly it's a cool thing to do.
       
    4. Wallet chains are mainly for wallets worn in your back pocket, the practical purpose being it's harder for someone to steal it @D@
       
    5. It was originally invented to keep pickpocketers away.... but dang it helps those of us who are forgetful and set our wallet down and walk off... XD
       
    6. And the dorks file in... :D
       
    7. Just so you don't feel alone, I couldn't get my Yukinojo's wallet in his back pocket either. o_O It's possible that on some of the jeans the seam allowance was slightly less than others. Or maybe our Yukinojos have bigger butts? XD
       
    8. ohhhh.... Nuthin' wrong with a nice, big round butt on a guy. X3
       
    9. u either
      1. put in the back pocket
      OR
      2. clip the wallet [oipen and clip it against a back pocket... i'll shalll post pictures once my doll is back!!!! :(]
       
    10. I too must have received a Yukinojo with an ample backside, because it is physically impossible to stuff that wallet into those tight back pockets >.> I have the plans to make him a smaller wallet...
       
    11. I put it in his back pocket. But I can only get it in when he isnt in is pants :oops: I think I used tweasers to get it in. It seems Yukinojos do have big butts, its kinda cute ^.^
       
    12. That baby's got back XD
       
    13. Oh, Cynthia,

      I'm so glad you asked this question. ^^
      I have boys and none of them have chains on their wallets. I wouldn't have know what to do with it either....
       
    14. At first when Yuki arrives his wallet cannot go in too with him WEARING the pants, but once you manage to fit it in the back pocket, then make him wear, it shud be okay.

      And the "fitting area" for the wallet should loosen and then you'll be able to fit them in easier. XD
       
    15. maybe i should bribe my hound to pose for me?? *stares believevably @ wallet...*

      ah well see if i can bribe a hound to go to work with me tomorrow :D
       
    16. Ahhhhhh, thank you all :daisy . . . for the fashion update as well as the stuffing-wallet-in-pocket-before-wearing advice! What was dorky 15 years ago isn't, now (well, except for me, I don't think I've become undorky in the meantime) . . .

      And mmmmmyeah, I like the idea of variable butt sizes on Yukinojos. There's a customization idea for us. :wiggle
       
    17. Well, supposedly the wallet is SUPPOSED to go inthe front pocket. The Volks Store has it in there and I think MAYBE they stuffed the wallet in there first and then put the pants on. I think I will ask the next time I'm there. ;)
       
    18. Hi Ho Mercy...^^
      Guess the Volks people have been talking to a Neurologist. ^0^

      According to neurologists, you should never wear your wallet in your back pocket. When you sit on your wallet it shifts your spine ever so slightly to one side and over time can cause back problems. >.<

      *sigh, they find a cause for everything...*
       
    19. I just tried that wallet chain today and it did not fit on his back pocket. I suppose the trousers have a smaller pocket than others.
       
    20. Cause for everything?

      I asked them since he had a wallet, if he also had a credit card.

      They laughed.

      I didn't. He needs one for all the money he's going to be making ME spend. ;)
       
    21. Say....... if your Yuki came with cash and cards, I'll trade you.^^
      Mine is as poor as a church mouse.....and I'm not diggin' his default things all that much.
       
    22. No joke. I hate that default top--I think it's the tackiest thing I've ever seen. (*chanting: IMHO, IMHO, IMHO*) The coat is a little Weiss Kreuz for me, too. But the black jeans are basic enough to be useful.

      What's really making me crazy? I want DIFFERENT SHOES for him,
      !@*#&!
       
    23. My Yuki's didn't fit either and with me also being older and uncool, I thought--who wears chains anymore? Vaguely remeber son with with a wallet chain a few years back...I just stuffed Yuki's in the back of his belt out of the way. Never occurred to me to remove pants, insert wallet and redress. :o
       
    24. for me i didn't like the pants... i tot leather ones would be much better....

      OT: who applied for the volks lottery for the training set??? [it ends april 1st...]

      ah when i was about to birng my hound to work and was looking for the pants i then reliased..... Along with Hideyoshi i sent him with the pants~~~~

      sorry i promise once i get him back i shall take pictures... :D
       
    25. I did, but more because I want another pair of shoes for him than because I'm crazy about the outfit. :sweat We'll see what the lottery results are . . .
       
    26. yeah i sent mine in via EMS... dun ask... lol
       
    27. I couldn't get the wallet in his back pocket either. Don't like the white shirt either. The zipper doesn't let it lay right. Jacket is cool except pockets are backwards? Like the pants. Boots are ok,but kinda big. I did try for the extra outfit. I want the sneakers.
       
    28. Plus it bends your credit cards, rendering them useless after a while.
       
    29. Well, so far my Yukinojo has a suit, jeans, cargo pants and 3 additional pairs of shoes. I was given a pair of jeans that fit him great, I bought a suit a while ago that someone had a dressmaker make that was big on the SD13s (but fits Yukinojo fine), the Cargo pants from Luts fit him fine and bought a pair of Hound shoes that fit (but a different pair of boots did not), sandals and a pair of Volks SD13 boy shoes that fit him. So I guess he is pretty well dressed.
       
    30. xDDDD Weiss Kreuz... *goes to check out the coat again to see if you are correct* xDDD
       
    31. nothing wrong with a guy who has a big butt AND a big wallet!!! ;)
       
    32. I couldn't fit his wallet in any of his pockets, so I clipped it around one of the belt loops, not the belt, so it hangs sideways. It's weird. I don't like it too much. I don't like his boots either. They're like clown shoe huge. I applied for that expensive training set pretty much so I could just get new shoes for him. Hurry up and start an SD16 clothes line, Volks! :-p
       
    33. Weird :P
      I just want to say that I find this post pretty hilarious. :) And that yes, maybe you guys should try putting the wallet in before the legs (or continue to, for those that do).
       
    34. motorcycle riders have liked them since the 40's - the chain means that if your wallet eases out of a pocket it doesn't bounce away. there's wartime photos but.. heh.. bannable offence for posting THOSE uniforms, though americans did it too..
      they became huge in the 50's and the motorcycle culture tough-guy thing really stuck with it. leather jackets, jeans & a chain wallet - appropriated by the punk culture.

      think about it - who in their right mind is going to pick-pocket a punker? 1)they're jobless and broke 2)they've got nothing to loose by fighting back

      pickpockets go for soft-targets.
       
    35. ah here we go.....
