If you made menswear with no pockets, you'd have a bunch of inventory nobody is buying. I buy pants primarily based on how big the pockets are, it's like an evolutionary process, except for pants pockets.

You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

Did you know you can go to a tailor to add/extend pockets?

There were definitely times that were much worse.
