I will post pics when I get back from HK (end of April [HWM with pocket outline is in UK] if the thread is still running.). Was advised by Ken to leave inner pockets out of subsequent jacket (Stockman)- the result was much better, and, after that, my next four Aeros have no inner pockets.
The stud outline looks obvious when the HWM pockets are fastened, and can be seen through the outer panel. My HWM is now old and battered, but it doesn't need to look as if it's smuggling smarties.
If the OP wants 'em, he should get 'em. I tend to put phones and wallets in slanted outer pockets or trouser pockets. My Long Half Belt has the cargo pockets, so I use them when I need to. The Stockman has deep enough pockets for stuff and the cafe racer has zipped pockets, etc. My last Aero was a used one that had non-studded inner pockets. The steerhide pocket edges fold on the inside weirdly when I wear it. I don't wear it much.
