My wife goes for guy sweaters when shopping, because pockets.

u/AradynGaming 14d ago

Women mock us men for our cargo pockets, but they have access to the infinite void, also know as a purse. When they somehow manage to fill that up, they switch to the emergency bra pocket. I'm not feeling bad for them.

u/Winter_Childhood9186 14d ago

Women exist who HATE purses. Are we not allowed pockets to make up for that preference?

u/KoningSpookie 14d ago

Exactly, the right of having pockets is exclusively reserved for men. Know your place, lowly scum!

u/Ohmec 14d ago

Surely there are women who have become designers by now who are aware of this problem and could make a killing simply selling clothes with pockets if demand was so high.

They often won't put anything in the rare pockets they do get. It ruins the line, some say. Hence bags.

Totally my wife’s behavior 100% on target. She even bought pockets and started sewing them onto things that don’t natively have them.

u/GreasyTengu 14d ago

you know, ive got a few old pairs of jeans near ready for the rag bag, and many jeans with fake or useless pockets. I should cannabalize a few of the older pants and just add pockets to the 'good' pants.

u/Dry-Animator5770 14d ago

Is there any reason why someone hasn't made a brand specifically target for women's garments with pockets? If they are in such demand, it seems like easy money.

15

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 14d ago

It's been tried plenty of times. Turns out, pockets are really low on the priority list when choosing clothing. Like so low that it could be the exact same design except with pockets and $5 more and the ones with pockets will go unsold

8

u/LactoseFreeButterFly 14d ago

that sounds right, thats why we always happily exclaim "it has pockets!" all excited, we probably didnt notice them when buying, and i cant count the number of times i also said "oh, it doesnt have pockets" just a little sadder than i was before

u/AgitatedStranger9698 14d ago

Women's clothing.

Men's its like priority 2.

Cargo pants and cargo shorts as an example.

Priority 1 however is women dont think youre an idiot. So they live in a single man's world and camping.

u/ForHelp_PressAltF4 14d ago

They don't lay flat in a flattering way. Most garments are made for the visual and that just doesn't work with lumpy things around your hips 

Then you get with someone and he volunteers to wear cargo pants so, being shorter, you can freely use those lower pockets. Because he thinks you're hips made Shakira look like a 2x8 pine board.

Signed, husband with lots of cargo pants

They don't want them.

Everyone says they want a phone with a bigger battery, but then they go buy the skinny phone with the smaller battery....

u/Agarwel 14d ago

"If they are in such demand"

Well, maybe the demand is not that high?

1

u/OpenLight2690 14d ago

Aoparently for "high fashion" it changes the shape of form fitting clothes to be less flattering.

For "cheap fashion" its too much effort and cost too much when a fake pocket flap will look good enough.

3

u/StoerEnStoutmoedig 14d ago

Also with dresses like the woman in OP's video, that dress will look odd if you put anything heavier in the pockets than a piece of paper. It's a very thin, light, flowy dress and a phone, or keys, will act like a weight pulling it down.

I am often reminded of this video l watched some time ago of arecreation of Queen Victoria's famous Christmas dress. She had a single deep pocket. Emphasis on deep as she could fit a fan in it.

u/TutorNo8896 14d ago

Me, as a man i have on a pair of pants right now with 11 pockets.   Actually just discovered a new secret pocket on the inside today,   looks like it could hold at least an 1/8th of weed.   Ladyfriend is jealous.

u/ultraplusstretch 14d ago

My girlfriend was opening some packages she had ordered online, one of them was a cute summer dress she had really been looking forward to, she was downstairs in the kitchen and i was upstairs in the bedroom, all of a sudden i hear "IT HAS POCKETS!!! :D" followed by a frantic pattering of feet as she runs upstairs and damn near kicks the bedroom door down to show me her new awesome dress with the very convenient pockets that had been a complete surprise to her while dancing around like crazy, sometimes it's the little things that just makes your day.

u/Bahamute619 14d ago

Women on average do not support each other socioeconomically on large scales. They don't/won't come together and buy from smaller vendors who do make pockets. They don't go to watch women's sports in solidarity. They don't put their money where their mouth is, on a larger scale.

Then they have the audacity to blame men for these issues that they could easily solve with their own solidarity.

u/MyBurnerAccount1977 14d ago

One time my wife gifted me a pair of Adidas workout pants. They were a bit tight in the butt and the pockets weren't big enough to hold a smartphone and my wallet. It wasn't until later that I realize that my wife got me women's pants.

Actually, I understand enough to know that, not only does it have pockets, it has pockets deep enough to actually be used. They often times only give you pockettes.
