Tucking pocket flaps in--do you do it?

Hmm... do you?

The reason I ask is because I did it with one of my suits, and at first didn't like the look, but then grew used to it, tried to untuck them and thought it looked bad, now wondering whether I should do it to my other suits.

Since I'm kind of short, I think the flaps tend to cut me off horizontally.. feel like I look taller with the flaps in.

Not on purpose. But I occasionally use those pockets for business cards or other paper items and the pocket sometimes gets flapped in. I correct it as soon as I discover this.

heh, the suits I can afford all have flaps. If I want a different look they have to be tucked, or removed completely.
