    It’s been like that since I was in high school at least; I remember a girl in the lunch line only managing to fit her thumb and forefinger into her pocket to fish out a quarter, my entire forearm almost to the elbow fit in mine.

    And yet, in the 20 years hence, I have heard of no attempt by any manufacturer of any size be it an international textile conglomerate or some chick in her sewing room trying to market women’s pants with actual pockets. So I take it there’s just no demand.

        Granted I’m a man who tends to wear women’s size gloves but when it comes to pants I’ve never understood why clothing companies try selling gendered pants but quite often I’ve found that womans pants are basically the same as men’s pants just with less pocket space I’ve in the past accidentally got women’s pants and only realized when I tried to put my phone in the pocket as that’s literally the only way I could tell the difference aside from placement on the target store otherwise the second hand market is completely unlabeled

          I regularly shop men’s jeans for the pockets and lower odds of finding glitter on the ass, can say if the fit doesn’t work it’s because the front is a bit too accommodating. But that’s the only issue I occasionally run into.

      Speaking as someone who has spent thread and needle time expanding ridiculously small pockets in my ‘sewing’ room (bedroom), I hereby demand it. Give us pockets.

      From what my female friends told me, they just buy mens’ clothes when they want pockets.
