The first two are "VestPocket" handbooks. Vests don't have pockets (except hunting and bullet proof vests).

Gad, sir! Where do you keep your pocket-watch if not in your waistcoat?

So do I, but only when appropriate: Actually, I decided I was getting too old (and too dangerous) to do any more tower climbing. I have a rescue harness for those "special" occasions, but otherwise gave away all my climbing equipment. So, I don't wear braces, suspenders, or harnesses any more.

Oh that was for tower climbing? My first thought it was a precaution when walking around on your deck...
Yes. Also suitable for getting hauled up the mast on a sailboat. I did that once and never again.
I don't see a problem. I do use the harness when washing the windows, working on the roof (no handrails), tree trimming, mowing the hillsides, bungee jumping, and performing a defenestration.

Sigh. You've been wearing clothes for how long and have never bothered to read about how they're made? Taking such things for granted works, at least until you make a mistake. Note that not all apparel accessories are intended to be useful. Some are decorative as is the case here.
The pockets on the Brooks Bros vest are welt pockets, which are not intended to contain anything bulky. A few coins or movie tickets at most. The idea is for the pockets to remain empty, totally flat against the body, and not show any bulges from the contents. The vest pockets shown are also not very deep, making fitting a VestPocket handbook difficult, even if inserted sideways. Even if you can insert the handbook sideways, it would not curve gracefully around the waist and look rather lumpy and awful.

Sigh! Bloggs is clearly LGBTQ so just killfile and get on with an engineering discussion. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
