For women the problem is worse since we are too curvy to use the exact location of pockets even when clothes are baggy.
I find the solution interesting even for women. I solved the same problem by putting the pockets horizontally at the waist. I will try moving the pocket down to the upper leg.
- samstave 6y agoI suggest, as I stated in my other post, looking at the LuLuLemon pockets - specifically, having the pocket be a webbing/spandex material which cinches the contents of the pocket to the body such that it doesnt flop about and also secures the contents into the pocket. I like the horizontal, but maybe a 15 degree angle would be best, however, do the horiz pockets get in the way when you sit?

- maire 6y agoThe pockets don't get in the way when I sit because the pocket is just below the waist. I started with the Silhouette 3 piece yoga pattern (which has a side panel) and made the pocket horizontal. It seems to me you can take an off-the-rack pair of pants and make the same modification.
- telesilla 6y agoFurther, we are all curvy in different ways. I couldn't wear either of the trousers he made, without the fabric bunching. Other women might fit one or the other, or none. I like my pockets in the back, for example, but I need zips so things don't fall out and maybe a way of securing them so things don't get stolen and well it's all too hard so I just carry a purse unless it's running pants and I just need to slot my house key in there.. I hope for the return for Zozosuit, personally. I didn't get a chance to buy anything before they shut down but I enjoyed the measurement process and was hopeful for a good pair of jeans. https://qz.com/quartzy/1539036/the-zozosuit-has-been-an-expensive-mistake-for-japans-zozo-inc/ https://qz.com/quartzy/1539036/the-zozosuit-has-been-an-expe...
- imglorp 6y ago> we are all curvy in different ways How hard can it be to 3d scan a person and output a custom fitted garment? Print? Robo sew? Anyway it seems like a bounded engineering problem.
- eli 6y agoI think this is a startup doing something like that https://redthreadcollection.com/ https://redthreadcollection.com/
- telesilla 6y agoThanks, I took a look and I think they have a really good approach.
- hedora 6y agoTailored clothing can be surprisingly inexpensive, especially outside the US. A 3D scan / in-person fitting and then overseas garment manufacturing could be a solid business model.
- aasasd 6y agoThere was a ‘startup’ that planned for the client to take a bunch of measurements and would then manufacture a garment to those. A post, which floated on HN, detailed why it turned out to not be too feasible. Edit: it was ‘Getwear’, found the name through the design company portfolio. They specialized in jeans. Alas, since the site is dead, I can't locate the postmortem, only this article in Russian: https://vc.ru/offline/6359-getwear-close https://vc.ru/offline/6359-getwear-close Basically, it seems that the demand just isn't there.
- paulie_a 6y agoThere is a suit company that does that already. Chino something. I've heard it's good but I don't have any first hand experience
- hinkley 6y agoI have heard that it may be cheaper to have a pair of off the shelf pants tailored than to keep looking for the perfect fit (eg among more niche products). I wonder how much extra you’d pay for extra pockets.
