And the back pockets are always sewn shut on anything not jeans.

Ok, why the fuck are pockets sewn shut at all??? I'm a guy and I see clothes like this too. It pisses me off so much, it was so close to being useful, most of a pocket is already there, why would they just give up?

[–] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

I think the real reason is so that the pockets dont get snagged or deformed while a product is being transported / stored / displayed prior to being sold.

fake pockets look nice. If you need functional ones, just pop the stitching. Usually, the stitching keeping the pocket closed is very weak compared to normal seams.

+1 for the life hack and restoring some faith in humanity.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

This isn't a life hack. Pockets are intentionally sewn shut for the manufacturing and shipping process. You are supposed to open them when you buy them.

Of you open them is it just butt or is there a hidden pocket?

It’s an actual pocket but I didn’t find this out until I was an adult - I thought that’s how they were made for a reason and if I cut the thread, it would make a hole in the pants. Nope, regular pockets just sewn shut for some reason.

I think I was in my 30’s before someone told me the truth. It was a man IIRC lol…but yeah my mom never knew I guess, friends at school, etc, or if they did they didn’t tell me because I guess they never noticed.

You can easily answer this question yourself by looking inside/turning the pants inside out.

Tried this and the lady said she's pressing charges. Thanks for nothing.

I guess you're just not charismatic enough.

Probably for tax purposes.
