Oh, bullshit. Yes, people are irrational in lots of ways, but on such a simple thing, where I personally know people who search for pants with more reasonable pockets (or even modify the pockets on the jeans they find, since they're sometimes just sewed shut), it is transparent to me that your impulse to trust "the magic jeans experts" is indefensible.
There are a limited number of retailers in a space where many like to try on the product. There are only a handful of major brands. It is cheaper to make and sell fewer SKUs. Style and fashion are driven by relatively few individual people.
Sure, it's obvious that some (perhaps many?) either like or don't care about the bad pockets. It's also transparently the case that if there are not readily available alternatives, still more will buy the products anyway.
It is also transparently obvious that this can and does result in sizeable numbers of unhappy consumers who want what they claim - better pockets.
You trying to simplify that with "women actually DO want shitty pockets" is absolutely wild.
- Jensson 3y agoI did a google search and this is the first I found: https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.0751471063.html https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.0751471063.html Those pants looks like they have good pockets, and they aren't cargo pants. Pockets for women are trivial to find, I found them instantly! So the problem isn't "women's clothing doesn't have pockets", the problem is "the clothes I like doesn't have pockets". If women wanted pockets they could go buy pants with pockets, but they choose not to.
- empyrrhicist 3y agoWell those are dress pants and not jeans, but more importantly the existence of an example online doesn't contribute anything. Nobody is claiming that pockets don't exist lol, just that they're often not available in regular stores with any regularity. I think I've also reached my limit of interest in discussing pockets.
- Jensson 3y ago> the existence of an example online doesn't contribute anything It sure does, H&M is massive and available all over the world. Them having cheap pants with pockets means that women all over the world can easily access pants with pockets. If women craved pockets so much then those pants would sell out and they would expand the offering with more kinds.
- Elvie 3y agoDo those pockets fit a phone - properly fit it so it doesn't fall out if you have to run for a bus or a train?
- fanf2 3y agoThe model can’t even fit her whole hand into the pocket!
- lesuorac 3y agoSounds pretty good to me! This man can't even get all his fingers into his work pants [1]. [1]: https://catworkwear.com/collections/mens-pants/products/mens-stretch-canvas-utility-work-pants-straight-fit https://catworkwear.com/collections/mens-pants/products/mens...
