I think a reasonable startup idea would be a women's fashion brand that makes this their focus - clothes with good pockets (dresses, pants, etc.).

or you know, have a tailor. A well fitted suit goes a long way, and tailors do alterations

  It's not something that you'd wear every day, though. Apart from some professions and cultures, in many parts of the world you don't wear suits regularly to work anymore. And often, a suite worn out of place is "overdressing" and a faux pas. Wearing cargo pants or similar will usually draw less attention, in most every day situations.

    Tailors can tailor most anything, not only suits.

      And do you have a lot of tailored clothes that are not suits?

        I do actually. I lift weights and it's incredibly hard to find shirts which fit my shoulders as well as my waste. That applies to any type of shirt.

There are at least a couple out there. eShakti will put pockets on any of the clothes they make (but their whole thing is they custom tailor everything they sell) and Svaha is focused on both 'geeky' and 'has pockets' as differentiators. Sadly neither run a very large gamut of style.

I've actually thought about this multiple times (this complaint comes up once a month minimum). The big deal to me is that it's super-easy to copy. You'd spend a few years marketing and growing a startup and then once it became popular, every major competitor would copy it. There's no moat. I think at that point you'd need branding strong enough for a stand-alone fashion firm that's not tied to just large pockets. Doable, but not my wheelhouse

  Incorporate as social purpose corporation and dissolve once average pocket on the market reaches desired size. Branding about "buy our clothes: put us out of business" (then explaining the corporate self destruct mechanism) could catch people's attention

Pivotte does this: https://www.pivottestudio.com/ https://www.pivottestudio.com/ Why they're not any larger, I have yet to ask. Perhaps their branding or marketing doesn't appeal to more folks.

In the age of automation, perhaps one can get custom clothing, rather than male or female clothing.
