No intention of hijacking this post, but men’s pockets leave a lot to be desired too.

Jacket pockets are ludicrously small even on brands like Carhartt.

Pants pockets barely hold modern cell phones.

Right handedness is assumed.

And for both men and women, why isn’t there a cell phone pocket mid-thigh adjacent to the outseam?

Everyone carries one, and wrestling one out of a front pocket while sitting is an act of contortionism while carrying it in a hip pocket is an invitation to damage, loss or theft.

A lot of yoga pants I pick have the side pockets that fit my phone well, they make me happy.
