I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?
Not actually a showerthought… but ill allow it
End this gender oppression, give the women pockets!
I believe that the most heroic thing about Kim Possible is that she wears cargo pants.
A purse.
I don’t carry much, wallet, phone in keys. I usually have a jacket or something that has pockets. I also try and pick out pants with the biggest pockets I can find. Which usually fits my wallet and keys and then I just carry my phone. I can’t do purses, I’ll just accidently leave them places. To risky.
Do you just hold your phone in your hand all day?
Serious question lol
Pretty much! Haha. At least going between car and where in headed. Otherwise it’s in my car or on the table in front of me. At work I actually have an apron so I put it in there or it’s in my work vehicle. I kind of have a phone addiction though so am using it alot so it’s usually in my hands anyways. Lol
I know a lot of seamstresses, from quilters to knitters to stitchers.
Without fail, if they make their own clothes, they add pockets.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman in possession of clothes, must be in want of pockets.
Reading these comments, I’m starting the think I’ve been doing the whole “dating profile” thing wrong. Clearly I need to mention I have some experience making and altering clothes, which includes enlarging or adding pockets to anything.
Everything else on there fluff compared to the ability to give a woman functional pockets.
Why haven’t clothing manufacturers figured this out yet?
Same kinda logic as people who complain about ads saying that they’d rather pay for the service, instead of ads. The reality is only about 1% ever do pay. I assume it’s similar for clothing, where most people naturally gravitate towards the clothes that look ‘best’, even if they don’t have pockets.
I bought good old Levis online in the hopes of pockets, but even they have failed me; only enough room for a chapstick!

511 pants were originally meant for mountaineering type stuff, but found their way into uniform supply for cops and security guards. you can probably find them (and similar) pants at uniform supply stores that cater to those types (as apposed to the nursing supply store. Whose pants are equally comfortable… just saying.)
they, uh, have pockets.

I thought 5.11 was aimed at people who concealed carry (no pun intended), or who just want to feel tacticool.
Lot of reviews about poor quality, especially the ripstop ones which apparently are known to rip at the crotch. Bummer
But you know when you finally have to wash your pants because the spaghetti sauce is getting noticable from afar and you go to pull all the stuff out and it takes up your whole desk then you put on some other pants and only put half the stuff back in because you didn’t need half that crap anyways? What we all need is detachable pockets. Make a bag, slap some Velcro on the back, maybe a shoulder strap, a zipper, a pattern with some letters signaling the pedigree of the item. It would be revolutionary! You could make big ones with straps for your back, small ones for your waist with a classic pastel swoosh, idk. For real though those modular cargo pants that turn into shorts, I would most definitely buy three pairs of those with zip off pockets just so I don’t have to do the stuff shuffle all the time. Plus you could actually make specialized pockets. Insulated food pocket, anti static electronics pocket, mesh pocket for … Idk the beach or something? Vacuum sealed pocket, hamster pocket, tater tots pocket… The possibilities are endlesS :P
They’re called belt pouches and were the shit in medieval times. They came in all shapes and sizes, some very specific designs, some more general, for all kinds of ourposes. There were even belt-books and coin purses. I mean, the T-shirt brought back the tunic, so why not let’s all switch back to long but airy robes and a belt with two pouches?
I’ve been doing belt pouches for years and am a big fan
Adding to this, for a very long time in history, women’s pockets were a seperate garment and all long skirts and dresses would simply have slits so you could access them, you basically wore two bags left and right on a seperate belt under your clothes.
This is actually what I want for travelling!
Welp, time to buy a sewing machine, because the scene making that stuff in a sufficient quality is small and costly.
I have a sewing machine! I just haven’t used it in about 20 years…
Here’s a guide!
Ohhh I love this! Saved, thank you. Not that I’ll ever get around to doing this, but when I show my friends they’ll think I’m cool AF. Maybe I will get around to it though.
As long as I don’t have to wear hose.
No, pantaloons will be all but forbidden in my ideal utopia
Why do you need so many pockets? All you need are keys, phone, and wallet. Jeans look better than cargo pants.
Keys, wallet, phone, multitool, pistol, sunglasses, in ear hearing protection with bluetooth, folding knife, lighter, sometimes gloves.
Lil different EDC where I’m literally surrounded by poisonous snakes and large wild cats+boar, and there isn’t a hospital within an hour. But I can carry all that wearing jeans, if I count my shirt pocket and boots.
And headphones, and maybe a knife? And why not some duct tape just in case anything breaks…
I always get anxious when girls have to put their phones into their back pocket.
I feel, if I did that, I would immediately throw myself onto the next chair and just hear a big ol’ crack.That’s why a good case is extra important
I was actually wondering the other day when my sister was bitching about her jeans not having real pockets why women who already wear jeans don’t just buy men’s jeans. Even skinny jeans for emo boys at Hot Topic have real pockets.
The cut is really different. Chances are if a woman can fit her hips into a pair of men’s jeans, that will mean the waistband is several sizes too big.
Well, mens pants don’t fit most women. If the pants fit our waists, we can’t get them over our thighs/hips. If they fit our hips, they’re enormous on the waist. It’s already a bitch and a half to find women’s pants that fit, much less trying out men’s pants.
May I suggest you start a new fashion trend: shoulder wallet “holsters” for women. Now you too can be practical while looking like a grizzled tv loose cannon police detective.
I tried this and own a set, but they don’t fit my phone so I’d need to get a bigger one again. It was fun for a while tho
Women can wear pants with pockets and not be typecast as lesbian, men can’t wear dresses and not be typecast as gay or trans, unless they’re muscular bros on a stag do.
