I do. At least for Takeoff and Landing.

Private pilots are taught "if you're wearing it, it's survival gear, if you're not wearing it, it's camping gear." Mainly in the vein of landing-out and crashing in the forest/desert somewhere. Don't expect your stuff to be accessible if it's not attached to you somehow.

That kinda transfers over to passenger flying for me. Shoes on, minimal cold-weather gear, if appropriate, money credit cards, ID and/or Passport as appropriate, and any "must take" medications. As soon as the aircraft passes into the "walk around" phase, then everything gets emptied out of my pockets and I get comfortable.

A SCOTTeVEST is useful for that.
