What is the point of a pocket that won't hold a cellular phone or a mass market paperback?

This is why I find the big phone trend annoying

And women's clothing manufacturers are still living in the Dark Ages.

Honest question not trying to be a dick but understand it might come off dickish..if women really wanted pockets wouldn't a woman make a company or a brand that makes it? If there's such a demand for it hard to believe no one has capitalized on this market.

eh, there's a lot of women's stuff at REI, L.L. Bean, Dickies and Carhartt's. Banana Republic still sells baggy faux safari clothes too.
but traditional women's bags like Coach and stuff are virtually indestructable and made of horse furniture and yacht hardware, you can move free weights in those things, you don't need pockets

Turns out pockets were history's first fashion statement

Apparently, women's pockets were originally separate pieces that were tied on and hung between the petticoat and skirt. A slit in the skirt would allow access to them, and they could be used with different dresses. They were very common due to their practicality.

Hot Pockets?

Probably multiple points in human history. I can't imagine a bunch of different cultures not inventing them independently
by Anonymous2 years ago
For real, probably came shortly after the invention of the forward pass
by Anonymous2 years ago
Pockets were probably invented before clothes. At least in the sense of a pouch or bag for carrying small items.

This is an interesting concept - is it a pocket if it's not attached to something else? Is a pouch really a pocket? Or is a pocket a pouch directly attached to some form of clothing?
by Anonymous2 years ago
I think a pocket is a pouch integral to a garment. But what we call a pouch today was called a purse, like a leather circle tied up with your coins in it and hung off your belt
by Anonymous2 years ago
A sewn in pocket is the natural next step after the coin pouch and tool pouches on aprons. I imagine the first people to have interior sewn on pockets were people like merchants and traders who would want to be able to store valuable goods on them safely

This is what I'm thinking. A belt with a couple pouches on it seems like a logical first step. The someone must've been like "i think I'll put some leg sheaths on this pouch belt."

So was sliced bread.
And Betty White was five years old when sliced bread was invented.
by Anonymous2 years ago
Just not for ladies because apparently they don't need pockets or deserve real pockets or whatever
by Anonymous2 years ago
Like sliced bread. We've always had some version of it, but someone came by and made it a lot more convenient to use. Some would say less enjoyable though
