The only thing to be cautious of is putting things in the pockets that are too heavy. That can cause the pockets to gape open and ruin the silhouette. Then you would have to keep the pocket flaps out to hide that gap or possibly sew them shut.

When it comes to putting things in my pockets, I try not to put heavy things in the outer pockets, but might stick my phone and keys in each pocket when I'm walking somewhere. I sit at a desk most days so it's rare that I have things in my pockets for even an hour. Also, I'm not a huge fan on inner chest pockets because I don't like the feeling of a phone or wallet pressed up against my chest. But again, that's just preference. My philosophy on wearing suits mostly comes from the man himself, Sid Mashburn: http://www.bearingsguide.com/2010/06...video-feature/
