I get it. It’s hot. Dark. It’s really hard to remember (especially by the end of the night where exactly you left your jacket. Or even which jacket was yours: was it violet or was it black? I can’t blame you too much for heading out of _______ (insert your eating club of choice) with someone else’s jacket with their prox and cell phone in the right hand pocket. This happens all the time.

Sunday morning our email inboxes are filled with messages such as: {1} I left my jacket in the coat room of Cannon. I think my name is written on the inner label. {2} Hi guys. Sorry to spam you but I left my prox in my jacket last night. If you see it, please, please, please get back to me.

And then there are the horror stories of vomit on jackets, cell phones and mysterious calls abroad, and credit cards riddled with unconscientious spending. 

There has to be a way to party smarter. Okay, I can’t help with the rare-but-unfortunate case of vomit upon the jacket but there is indeed a way to keep your cell phone, prox, and credit card around without having to worry about holding them them the entire night.

One solution, just in time for State Night, is Neckid.

 

Neckid has created a line of Joeys–a reliable accessory for your valuables. The Joey is meant to keep all of your essentials close to your body; there is plenty of room to fit your medium sized phones, credit cards, proxes, money, and keys. 

There are quite a few colors! It’s possible to wear your Joey in one of two ways. You can wear it outside of your attire (and this is where the multiple color choices come in handy) or you can wear the Joey discreetly.

Would you wear a Joey on your nights out?
