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???
Phone left, keys right, wallet back or right.
Usually when I go outside I have a jacket so jacket pockets, left/right but same applies for trousers.
Wallet for backpacket only on comfortable places.
Front right phone. Front left wallet. Right belt loop/back right pocket keys on retractable lanyard
Phone front left Keys and wallet front right
I have a slimline wallet and a clamshell phone.
Hmmm… Left handed? I have the same setup, but on the opposite sides (thick wallet, but it fits, and I don’t care how it looks).
+ right back pocket for important stuff (tissues, paper tickets, notes), left back for rubbish.
Nope, right pocket for keys because I usually hold the dog on the left when carrying him out to pee. It lets me lock the door easily while holding the dog.
Front left: Keys, wallet
Front right: Phone
Back left: Use prohibited. Only use in case of emergency
Back right: Use prohibited. Only use in case of emergencyIn case I need to carry by foot: A sling bag (volume about 5L) which is enough for city trips and holds a power bank, a charging kit (powerbank + chord), a cotton bag and sunglasses
In case I need to carry more by foot: A backpackIn case by bike: A bike pack that goes on the bicycle rack
I wear jeans with two pockets. The left pocket contains my wallet and keys, the right pocket contains my phone. I also carry a small backpack with miscellaneous things (umbrella, extra battery and phone charger, medicine, etc).
Nice try, local pickpocket.
My keys go in the pocket with the item they can damage the most whether I want it or not.
Nice try, FBI.
Ha ha, well-played Jeff, you got us.
- Left front: keys, beeswax lip balm, contact lens eyedrops
- Right front: phone
- Left rear: alcohol cleaning swabs, needlenose pliers
- Right rear: wallet
- Left cargo: device failure “toe tags”, work phone
- Right cargo: work keys, microfiber cloth
- Right “cell phone pocket”: bit driver with ~6 bits in the handle
- Shirt collar: mini phillips/flathead screwdriver, pen
- Shoulder bag: laptop, flash/external drives, power bank, chargers, cables, and adapters
- Jacket: gloves & lighter right pocket, foldable earmuffs left pocket, mini cigars inside pocket
Two pockets is pretty much only a swimsuit, lol. I skip all the work stuff and mostly stick with phone and wallet/keys. Is it weird that even at max, I don’t carry a knife of any kind? I find the mini screwdriver works for most situations…
Left front pocket: Phone.
Right front pocket: Cigarettes, keys
Right front coin pocket: Lighter, knife.
Back right: Wallet
Back left: Doggie waste bags.
If I have cargo pants or a bag ir whatever, it’s to carry things I don’t normally carry or to just keep warm in the case of a jacket.
2 pockets, chillin: Right: phone, small knife Left: auxiliary ie; pliers, tissue, something my kid handed me wallet if going out.
4/5 pocket: Right: phone, small knife Left: knipex 4" cobra head, piece of hardware, Back left: wallet Back right: small knife Leg pocket: pen/ sharpie sometimes a tool.
Cargo: Same as top Left cargo: pocket Joe’s, small amount of assorted screws and small hardware. Right cargo: pens and such on the outside pocket, probably trash, and bigger knife depending on where I am and what I’m doing. sometimes a tool.
Thank you everyone for sharing exactly where you keep your valuables. Now I’m gone dox you fly to wherever you live and do pick pocketing.
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 😄
Phone in left front, wallet in front right, keys split between two.
Women don’t usually get pockets so everything goes in my bag. But tbh the bag helps my adhd as well, if I always keep everything in the bag I won’t lose it or forget where I put it.
