[a suit] Looks smart and has lots of pockets.

Trouble is if you actually use those pockets the vast majority of suits
start to hang all wrong and bulge in the wrong places and look silly. If
you need to carry lots of stuff, then either wear something better
suited to the task or use a bag.

Not over-filling them is why having lots of pockets is useful. My
current suit has four inside pockets as well as the usual three on the
outside. It's helpful to have phone, Oyster, NR tickets, some small
change, a map of where I'm going; all in different ones.

The bugger is managing to mislay something crucial in a pocket - which
bloody pocket, which damn jacket?

I've normally got only one jacket in play at a time, even if at a
conference that's going on for a week. That's part of the joy of
anonymous-looking suits rather than a series of smart-casual bling.

As for "which pocket" - things have pockets assigned to them. Simples.
