How are your pockets organized?

NOTHING looks dorkier than a guy carrying his wallet in a front pocket!

Thanks man, appreciate that. :hmm:

better than getting pickpocketted at a club having it in the back (happened to me once)

HOW is it any less or more dorky than having an iPhone in yer front pocket (which is roughly the same shape)???? It's not like my wallet is brimming, it's about 1/2" thick...

Simple - iPhone or other phone seldom goes in front or back pocket. In cargo pants, side pocket = OK by me. I use a holster, which has its own dorky factor, but much less dorkish than a big bulge in a front pocket. If I don't have the holster with me, then for a few minutes I might slide it into the right back pocket where it's slightly protected against damage by my folded hanky. When I wear a suit or sports coat the phone goes in an inside breast pocket - invisible.

I am fortunate enough not to live in a big city nor to frequent places where pickpockets are a problem.

Since I'm an old fart, the basic visual rule I learned and can't UN-learn is: bulging front pocket(s) = dorkus maximus. Wallet in back pocket = OK, no problem. Sorry, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
 
I can usually get away with wearing a zip hoodie 80% of the year and typically stuff whatever I'm carrying in whatever pockets of that.
Sans Hoodie:

Well My wallet is always in my back right pocket. I feel weird without it there.

Cell Phone = Left Front Pocket.

That's about all I leave the house with. The iPod is usually either in the house or in the car.

When I smoked I always kept my Zippo in that little patch pocket that that is usually tucked into the right front pocket in jeans. I don't know if that is what they were originally intended for but it is usually a perfect fit for a regular sized Zippo.
