Right-Right. Keys on left, though, I rarely carry my wallet or keys anymore, so I'm kind of a 1 pocket person.

Left front: nothing
left back: wallet
Right front: occasional use but nothing specific
Right back: handkerchief, coins and car keys.
Coin/watch pocket: house keys.


Right handed - swapped wallet from right to left about three years ago.

Due to a pick pocket scare, and some advice, I keep my wallet in my front right pocket. I don't like sitting on my wallet ether.

It's not really related, but does anybody here have fading creases below one of their rear pockets, but not the other? (Without keeping a wallet)

With out something in your back pocket I'd think the fade would be equal on both sides.

Yes, that's why it's weird. All my indigo jeans have it under the left rear pocket.

Just recently switched for RH, RP, to RH LP and while I am not used to it yet it allows me to better carry other accessories which I find are carried more effectively.

After skimming this thread, I have thinned out my wallet considerably. I had a number of business cards and superfluous credit-card sized cards that really fattened it up. Into the desk drawer, useless crap. I generally wear it in my back right pocket at all times, except in places I don't trust. There are some places I'm at where it just makes a hell of a lot more sense to wear it up front. But reading all that back stuff, I may just try it out-front only for a while, see how that goes. I just get such an odd feeling when I tap my pocket and feel no wallet back there.

Smart move, too many people use a wallet as a filing cabinet. I don't see any good reason to move from the back pocket - save in the odd place which is unsafe. On the rare occasions I have done so, like you, I find it too strange to accept.
