Open Suit Pockets?

I have two companies and I keep one set of business cards in each pocket so that I know which card I am grabbing by which pocket I reach into. In other words, if it is real estate related, I reach for my left pocket, if it is law related, I reach for the right pocket. I never put anything bigger than business cards in my suit jacket pockets.

I like this idea.

I use mine: usually a handkerchief in the right pocket and a few business cards in the left (so that they are accessible when I'm shaking hands). I wouldn't put anything bulky or heavy in them.

I'd love to be there the first time he forgot about the mousetraps too.
