Just. Put. Pockets. On. Women's. Clothes. It can't be that difficult. Until then, see me in my men's cargo shorts all summer. It's amusing when Gen Z discover a truth the rest of us already know. Pocket sexism. Men are sold clothes that have lots of pockets. Women do not have this luxury. Women long for pockets. Yes, I know this isn't politics. But it IS my pet peeve. #women #pockets #fashion https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/this-tiktok-star-just-discovered-how-useless-the-pockets-are-in-women-s-jeans-but/article_d331e863-4d14-4fd6-bf59-53c6b37618f0.html

Finished this custom piece for a client today… travel #hoodie with deep side seam #pockets #silk #charmeuse lining the hood, a natural button closure and I decided I would rather make a #boundButtonhole than a machine one. I went vertical as gravity would help hold the piece closed and it suited the narrow double stitched folded back finish. #customClothing #ottawaSewist #designer #uncededAlgonquinTerritory #creativeAndPractical

"Dangerous Coats"
by Sharon Owens

Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

Found thanks to @GrrlScientist.

This outfit gave such#regal #pyjamas… all #silk: gold #duopioni, red Thai and red and gold Chinese satin. The wrap dress also has #pockets, as do the loose cut trousers. #TAVCreationsOriginal

Welcome to another episode of The Enshitiffication Show. Today, we're talking about clothing.

For some years now, I've bought CQR cargo pants. I'm autistic. My wardrobe is not super varied. I tend to stick to the brands that I like, and purchase the same item, in various colors.

What to wear is a problem. If I've solved it once, why make my life complicated? I just use the solution I've found.

I used to like CQR cargo pants.

Alas...

This is no longer the case. The last pair I bought has shallow pockets. Most likely, some idiot figured that they'd be saving money by having shallow pockets.

The first clue I got was when I took a nap with my pants on. Stuff was falling out of the pockets. I eventually took my tape measure, and proved to myself that the pockets are indeed shallower. In the pictures below, you'll find:

* An old pair of CQR pants.
* The new pair.
* A pair of Wranglers with pockets more like the old CQR.

I tend to be loyal to brands. Eh. If it works, it works. However, when brands enshittify their products... well... I ain't no fool. If I'm paying a high price for shitty stuff, I might as well switch to another product, which may be as shitty (but maybe in different ways), but will cost me half the price.

I cannot tell yet how the Wranglers will hold up to use. Maybe, I'll have to replace them in one year, but even if this happens, I'm ahead of the game relative to paying for CQR's enshittified pants.

Oh, I've taken naps with the Wranglers on. No problem with stuff falling out of the pockets.

Studio work for a client yesterday involved improving this vintage jacket she inherited from an elder family member.
I took it in at the shoulders and front breadth, allowing me to shorten the sleeves through the armhole at the same time as removing the space formerly allowed for shoulder pads.
Then I added these pockets that are sort of a hybrid welt/buttonhole pocket. The velvet ribbon forms the simplest of decorative finish for the openings, which I kept narrower to minimize showing too much of the pocket lining at the opening. Normally, I would have made a facing, but not enough fabric came from the sleeve head adjustment.
Anyhoo- it turned out well!

@liliputing_ The #AyaNeo #PocketS is up to $800! That's well within #x86+#Windows territory. I feel like #Arm+#Android has to stay in a < #Steamdeck bracket simply because #emulators are just better optimized for x86.

History of Pockets livestream about to begin!

I can't go in person because I had a covid exposure yesterday.... [so far, ok]

Me every time

Yes, women want pockets. But not just any "pockets." Women want BIG pockets... HUGE pockets... PRACTICAL pockets that can actually hold all kinds of things-- like wallets, cell phones, hairbrushes, Kotex pads, magic totems, and/or baby dragons.

Not the tiny ones we have now, the ones we can barely fit the ends of our fingers and a couple of coins into.
