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???
Nice try, local pickpocket.
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.
So many doing front left for phone, that’s just weird to me unless you’re left handed.
Front Right: Phone
Back Left: Flattened & folded plastic shopping bag(s)
Back Right: Wallet
Belt Hooks: Keys
Front left is the ‘all the other shit’ pocket. Currently this contains:
- 6 flash drives totalling around 500GB
- Lighter
- £4.25 in loose change
- Flipper 0
- Trolley token
- Multitool with knife, needle, pen, tweezers, ruler, magnet, cross driver
- 3 dog shit bags (empty)
I’m guessing it’s so the phone doesn’t interfere with a weapon
Not weird at all. I reach into my left pocket for my phone with my left hand and am ready to operate it with my right hand. Having it in my right pocket would be awkward.
Is your phone a zweihänder or something? I think the last time I reliably used a phone with both hands was back in the days of tapping out texts on a keypad in T9. Needed both thumbs for decent wpm.
Or I’m misreading and it’d get in the way of something else?
Right seems right for me, in both pocket and operation. Whatever works though, at the end of the day :)
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).
Phone in left front, wallet in front right, keys split between two.
Nice try, pickpocket. Nice try…

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…
Nice try, pickpocket!
My keys go in the pocket with the item they can damage the most whether I want it or not.
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.
