I regularly carry my cellphone, a knife, keys, a lighter (a big ol' vintage one), and my wallet in my jeans. It's really not that difficult.

A flask may be a bit more difficult to conceal, but you probably already look like a vagrant so you may as well just hold it in your hands.

Substitute jeans with pretty much any pants that have 4 pockets. I wasn't implying that denim allowed for higher load capacity, and I can't really imagine how you got that from my original post.

But if you're absolutely set on reserving a special pocket for each of your gadgets/paraphernalia, may I suggest these?

Plus jeans are pretty okay in 90+ degree weather. Learn to swallow a little bit of temporary discomfort so that you can look like an adult human. People who go to shorts or mesh when it gets hot out are like people who carry around little granola bars with them "just in case they get hungry". Really? You don't have the personal fortitude to wait until the AC comes on/ it's time for lunch? It's one step away from wearing Depends everywhere you go.

Sorry, jeans suck once it hits 90. Maybe some khakis, seersucker, or madras pants. But if it's over 90, there are much better options than jeans.

^^ But Vibram Fivefingers are actually great if you're into barefoot running but live in an area where there may be a lot of debris.

People who wear them around town are pretty dumb, but they do have an intended purpose.
