Yeah, the reality is, if women really wanted pockets in their clothes then any one of them could start making clothes with large pockets, sell them, capitalize on this market, and make oodles of money

    They're already widely available. Just google "women's pants big pockets." You can buy women's pants that have a looser fit with big pockets almost anywhere, in many styles and materials, from any major retailer, at price points ranging from Walmart to designer.

    I'm not sure that they're necessarily "widely available" or available "from any major retailer" I searched what you suggested and found a bunch of drop shipped results on amazon, walmart, and random sketchy sites.

    I guess to me "widely available, almost anywhere, from any major retailer" sounds like these pants have saturated the market enough that I should be able to find them at any department store but honestly I have never seen large pocket options for women in a physical store. If there are physical stores carrying this option that you know of please let me know because I would love to be able to go try them out!

    Yeah, I agree with this. I’ve shopped looking specifically for pants with appropriate sized pockets and they are hard to find. When the local Kohls was closing, I bought 8 pair of pants at about a dollar a piece. Only 1 had real pockets, the others weren’t even big enough to keep a lighter or chapstick in place, they always fell out.

    Now, I only buy pants with appropriate sized pockets. And if I find a pair that I really like the fit, I will rip out those shitty little things and put adult size pockets into it.

    My favorites are the very few super cute dresses that actually have real pockets. My friends and I always get very excited!

    Hey, thank you for listing them. I'm still looking through them and a lot just say "with pockets" not necessarily with "large pockets" which is fine but I'm willing to bet they're like every other womens pant in a large store that "has" pockets which is barely enough to fit chapstick in.

    Some of these pants are locally available to me so I can go and physically check but just pointing out that off the bat containing pockets doesn't mean they contain sufficient pockets.

    You can see quite clearly in many of the pictures that the models have their whole hands in them. And I'm not just talking about the ones where they hook the thumb and stop there.

    Idk what people want, I'm a male and I have never in my life had a regular pair of jeans that "fit an iPad in them" except for when I had JNCOs as a kid. My Levi's pockets are not much bigger than my smartphone. And I can personally tell you that there are women's pants with pockets as big as men's as that's all that my wife wears.

    Ah I see. Unfortunately this happens a lot. The photo may show they can fit their hands inside but there are a lot of times the pockets in person are still just so so small. Its quite disheartening.

    I'm not saying these pants don't exist, I was just pointing out that I've never seen them exist at both the size and level of availability you described originally.

    I'll still check out the ones available locally to me that seemed hopefully sufficient and get back to you if they work out!
