Second image reads “Boy’s pockets” with an inventory screen from Legend of Zelda right next to it.
Tell me about it! After year of estrogen I had to give away all my old pants and now I never have anywhere to put my phone!
Get a utility belt. https://www.google.com/search?q=fashion+utility+belt
I’m definitely thinking of a kilt. I’m thinking I could get a version of this but instead of black, in the colours of the Yukon official Tartan.
Women’s clothing is more form fitting, so pockets are reduced in order to avoid deforming the figure with pocket lumps + women wear ginormous purses anyway. If you want clothing with deep pockets, sporting goods store feature women’s cargo pants.
(I know it’s a joke, it’s just I’m tired of seeing it).
The downside of women’s cargo pants, is that you’re no longer able to complain about the lack of pockets caused by your choice to buy more form fitting clothes.
Strongest pocket bulge shamer vs. weakest pocket bulge enjoyer.
To this day, I have no idea why there isn’t a local service to mod deeper pockets in women’s clothing. If I was a proper tailor, I’d probably start such service myself, but every time I openly mention that such service would probably be profitable, everybody goes “Yeah, I’d be using that service”, but never anyone who can actually do the job, rises to the ocasion and starts a bussines.
So if you’re reading this, and can handle your needle and thread, here’s a bussiness idea: take a small fee to cut open, and expand pockets in clothes there have fake pockets.
Any tailor that does alterations already provide such a service. You just need to request it. They don’t specifically advertise that they can make bigger pockets
They don’t specifically advertise that they can make bigger pockets
Which honestly, seems like a missed opportunity.
Doesn’t tailoring services already exist?
Yeah, they do, but theu’re not as readily available as one would think. They also don’t advertise this possibility, if they even take such jobs (Many don’t like to take on your standard wallmart jeans etc. for one reason or another). On top of that, I’d imagine that they’d take surprisingly large sums from such “extraordinarily custom modifications”.
What I’m proposing is specializing your sidehustle to this “one trick pony”, that is basically just making people realize that fake pokets can be turned in to a real pocket. This would provide a seamsperson quick small jobs as long as fake pockets are being made. And judging by the fashion industry, it will be a long time before they realize that those pockets don’t need to be fake.
This is more of “call to arms” to “fight the power”.
fuck gendered clothing, wear pants with pockets.
I wear “women’s” tights because they’re objectively comfortable.
Where does “it” go tho?
you cut a hole in the front and let “it” be free
Bro!?
If you have to ask that i think you should be proud of the size of yours, because mine is certainly not impressive enough to cause issues with tight pants and i’m smack dab average.
Also tights are stretchy.
Try not to get a bone. It’s hard, but it’s the only way (besides tucking).
You mean the half way opaque ones, or fully opaque?
In the past women could put chicken in their pockets. But now they are smal so you can buy extra bags.
My life got so much better after buying those trousers from a middle age market. Now i look cool in the office 😎
I won’t stop anyone from wearing boy pants. In fact I want stop anyone from wearing two boy pants either.
Since I started to lean more femme in my usual attire this really has become a problem…
Unpopular opinion but to me it’s a blessing that female pants don’t have pockets. It fits way better and I never forget to remove stuff when washing. And it’s uncomfortable to have stuff in those pockets. My purse has way more space any way.
Girls have pockets?
Yes, i have some when i weal boy pants
Inb4 some people say ‘women voted with their wallets’, no we did not get to vote.
If you think we get to choose what size of pockets we get for pants that fit us without being uncomfortable, you have not shopped for women’s clothing as a woman, ever.
When women buy pants, it’s like bringing a random metric screw to an imperial hardware store hoping to buy a nut that fits and also all the labels are written in some alien language. The words ‘size 8’ never mean the same thing on any two pairs of pants.
Here are some common issues we encounter. It’s not as simple as ‘oh women are just vain and want pants that are a tight fit’. Women don’t get the nice 33"x34" measurements that men get in spite of needing standardization more than ever, partly because it’s nigh impossible to standardize the wide variety of hip and waist sizes women have and how it changes throughout the month. It’s always ‘these pants are perfect except’:
- My hips are to big to pull these pants up
- My hips are too small and now I have to wear a belt with 2 inches of fabric uncomfortably bunching up in the back
- My legs are too long and my ankles are cold
- My legs are too short and the pants are touching the floor
- My waist is too big so the pants are choking me when I sit down
- My waist is too small and now the same belt problem happens
- There are no belt loops for jeans
- I have PCOS belly and belts hurt to wear
- I have sensory issues and I cannot stand belts of the feeling of bunched up fabric
- The cut is too low and my bum is showing
- The cut is too high and my abdomen is choking
- My thighs are too fat and so I can’t sit down in these jeans without discomfort
- These jeans are too inflexible or small to accommodate days when I am bloating
- There are no pockets
- There are tiny pockets
- There are fake pockets
So please, I beg of you, don’t commit bullshit about how ‘women chose this’. We did not.
Boys need big pockets to hold their meat. 😏
