Could it be because women keep buying them? I’ve never seen my mother wear pants without pockets, and when she bought a new jacket, the amount and placement of pockets was the first thing on her mind.
Only now I realize the significance of that. But still. How hard is it to not buy pocketless apparel?
You are a voice of reason in these comments!
I get so tired of being told to go buy pants with pockets or buy men’s jeans, when that has nothing to do with the point. Women deserve pockets in our jeans. Period.
One day, I’m going to go to a few stores with women’s jeans and count the ratio of how many have actual pockets. I already know it will be low. Buying jeans online comes with a whole other set of problems like fit, color, and style not being what’s show in pictures.
Below are 2 pairs jeans I own, similar style and pricing, basic denim jeans. The one on the left, fits most of my hand. The one on the right, barely fits my lighter without worrying I’ll lose it. There is no reason the pathetic pockets on the right should even exist.
Yep! I keep that picture around for when folks say women’s clothes can’t have pockets because it messes with “the lines” or that pockets don’t fit the style. That argument is perfectly fine for cute tighter dresses, but it’s dumb for things like jeans and regular skirts.
If you don’t like tiny pockets, then why did you buy pants with tiny pockets? I seriously don’t understand the logic.
Men’s underpants come with flies and without flies. Those without are usually cheaper. If I want a fly, I buy those with a fly. I don’t buy underpants without a fly and then complain that I didn’t get a fly.
I believe you that pants with big pockets are hard to find and that it’s effort to buy them. But that still doesn’t add any sense to buying pants with tiny pockets.
Because I bought them 20 years ago at a deep employee discount at a time when I needed pants and those were the pants available to me. Retail price of both were about the same, except the bigger pockets were purchased within the last 2 years. It’s not that they are hard to find, they can be impossible to find.
If you had no options other than pants without a fly or digging through multiple stores to find the one style of pants that might have a fly but are the ugliest vomit color green and do not fit comfortably, you would complain too.
You’ve made the point clear to me. Thank you.
Because women's clothes with usable pockets don't force women to buy an expensive purse ontop.
It’s actually a lot harder than you think because most women’s clothing do not have proper pockets.
It's literally a conspiracy to sell more purses.
