Pockets, sneaky hidden pockets, cargo pockets, flap pockets. What do you find useful?

I recently acquired a cargo kilt with two BIG snap closing pockets for fishing, scouts, etc. It really makes a difference when stalking or working. Everything to hand and plenty of space to put tools, sweets, etc.
To begin with I wasn't a great fan of 'cargo kilts', but I'm definitely a convert.
If I ever make one for myself, or can afford a bespoke one, a big pocket, maybe with a few smaller pouches sewn in to hold small things, is what I'll be going for next time.

I was thinking of oilskin which would look completely awesome, but I want to be able to chuck it in the wash. I've ordered some 7 and 10 oz. plain canvas. I also have lots of heavy duty threads from my leather working so I've contemplated doing detail stitching by hand. Except I have a stuffed shoulder so will have to do most of it on the machine I'm having to use all my tools in opposite-to-normal hands currently and it's just not quite as accurate or speedy.

I definitely like the idea of cargo pockets. I've seen the flap pockets on 21st century kilts and while I like the fact that they can be hidden with ease, I just prefer a roomier and more robust style.

My 5.11 kilt has cargo pockets originally designed for rifle and pistol magazines...which in the real world, means I get a pocket with two large compartments and one with three smaller compartments. Combined with the deep front pockets, I have an easy time distributing my keys, wallet, phone, where needed. The metal bits go in the cargo pockets, my phone and wallet go in the front, and anything larger or immediately needed goes in the nylon Nightstalker sporran which itself is practically a backpack it's that spacious.

My favorite part of wearing my kilt to events? I end up with so much cargo space my female friends use me as their communal purse if they're in tight costumes, and I usually have extra room as we shop.
