I'm still half heartedly experimenting with clothes my self even though I've been pocket carrying for... I don't know 10 years? 15 years? I've learned that pockets with diagonal openings really help with the draw. Blue jean pockets that have a straight up horizontal mouth are nearly impossible to work with, and jeans are so tight. At least mine are!

Also, fancy pants don't always have wide enough belt loops. Cargo pockets are nice for wallet and keys but I can manage without them, I just look like I've got bulges on my hips.

I have yet to try tactical shorts or pants, but as long as they have those diagonal pockets I'd probably be happy with them. And why do clothing makers always make pocket material so weak? Can't they at least use a scrap of the cloth the rest of the pant was made of? It's always that thin white material.
