What if you're wearing cargo pants?
What if you're wearing a shoulder bag?
What if you're wearing something with only two pockets?
What if you have a jacket on?

Where, oh where do your things go???

If I just have pants/shorts:

Front Left: Phone. This is what I mainly hold my phone in, and dictates where everything else goes
Front Right: Slim bifold wallet and keys.
Rear pockets: Nothing. I don't like the feeling of sitting on anything. It also might be needless anxiety, but I feel like I could be pick pocketed more easily if I had anything in my rear pockets.

If I'm wearing a sports coat, which isn't often, I'll put my phone in my right interior pocket, and my wallet and keys in my left interior pocket. Mostly since I can then reach in with my left hand to get my phone.

If I need to carry more items I'll use a small satchel or something. All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head. Also, I don't wear jeans, haven't for years. They're not very flattering from behind and they always manage to pull on my leg hairs somehow.

Makes sense to me. I do something similar mainly to avoid tiny scratches on my phone screen. I hadn't considered coordinating the coat pockets with the pant pocket system, but I might do that too now 😄
