  > Because clothing designers are famouslys self selected for prefering form over function. And yet, it's easy to find cargo pants and fishing vests if you want to own such clothing.

    Clothing =|= fashion. There is a differwence between clothed and dressed that a lot of people don't get. I can't think of us Germans having two different terms for that actually, which might explain certain things...

      > Clothing =|= fashion. Well, clothing that isn't fashion needs to be designed too. So apparently some designers can favor function over fashion.

    Fishing vests arent standard piece of clothing more along the lines of sporting equipment than garment. As for cargo pants generally only easy to find for one sex and often (though not always) found grouped with garments made especially for physical labour rather than casual wear like other pants like jeans or slacks. And are treated as objects of derision by those that fallow fashion.
