Well, it's almost 11 here, but you had me curious so I went and slid on a pair of the duluth cargo pants. Bottom of the pocket hits me an inch or 2 above the knee. So... well up on the muscle. Probably why I don't notice. I carry my wallet in the same pocket on the opposite side, because sciatica sucks. Probably another reason I'm used to it.

Like I said, it's not ideal, but better than nothing.
