Are you talking about the pockets that are in the front?
I do like the idea someone had of tracing the pocket from another pair you like and using that for a pattern.
There is a style of "scrub" pants called "Cargo" that have a lot of pockets, one works great for the stethoscope when I don't want to "clunk" someone if its hanging around my neck. They're very similar to other styles of cargo pants and military pants.
