I will admit, this is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. I'm a professional seamstress and I HATE to carry a purse. I agree that perhaps tools should be carried in a belt or other utility bag, but I NEED my pockets to carry my phone, money and drivers license.

Problem for me is my weight, size, and shape. I'm lucky to be able to sew or alter any pants that I get, but the lack of well fitting pants (with pockets) is beyond annoying. I have spent countless hours altering pants and adding pockets.

I don't understand the industry's reluctance to add proper pockets to woman's clothing. It does not make the pants look any different. If there sewn properly, and you have the right size (it's only a number lady's, men you have this issue too) the pockets should not bulge.

I do think this is a discrimination issue. And while we're at it... why do we only get one length in the legs? Are all women's legs the same length? Men can choose their waist and length with easy to figure out numbers, but women get to guess and try on until they find something that kinda fits, or they get frustrated and just pick whatever.

I am happy that so many people are talking about this. Maybe we can show what a problem this is and someone will take notice and do something. #pockets4women2
