I would give somebody's right arm for any garment designed for women that has decent pockets -- skirts or jeans. It boggles my mind when I reach into the pocket of a pair of my boyfriend's jeans and my arm disappears halfway to the elbow. I WANT THAT.

Why can't clothing designers understand that there are a substantial number of women out there who buy pants with a purpose in mind other than making their ass look good? My jeans are intended to cover my lower body and provide a place to keep all my stuff so I don't have to carry around a purse to forget everywhere.

I'm one of the above anons, and I solve part of that problem by buying men's cargo shorts as capri pants. Since I'm short, I legitimately have women's "pants" that end higher on my leg than some of the men's "shorts" I've bought. And then, pockets! So many pockets! And they're super comfy.

Of course, this only works if you're okay with the occasional weird looks, or assumptions that you're a lesbian. It's definitely not for everyone, but it works nicely for me.

I so miss the brief vogue for 'carpenter jeans' back in the naughts or whenever that was...I had a pair of those bugger with about 5 deep pockets plus a hammer loop, comfortable and not bad-looking, and I wore those bastards to RAGS then patched them up then wore them again.

One thing you can do if you're buying jeans that aren't skin-tight is expand the pockets yourself--usually it's just a little baggie made of different cloth, and it's not too hard to cut the end of it off and sew on a deeper pouch. :D A pain but I have been glad for it!

Somebody needs to start a loud, insistent, continent-spanning campaign demanding decent pockets in womens' clothing from all designers/retailers.

I'd start it myself, but I just don't have the time, what with sewing all these real pockets into the defective clothing I've bought...
