I've got to say, wool and pockets don't mix very well (much like my featherweight synthetic Sheila Moon summer jersey). I'd personally go with a wool base layer under a synthetic jersey. Seen too many people with the sh*t in their pockets hanging down below their saddle in their wool jerseys in the rain... swinging back and forth smacking their seat packs...
Agreed. Unless it's really well-constructed, or the pockets are oriented so that the stitches run horizontally, knit wool at such a fine gauge has too much stretch for pockets.
