"There are few things more frustrating than collecting your belongings only to
realize that the pockets in your pants are too small to hold them. Or worse,
the fabric designed to look like a pocket is merely for decoration and doesn’t
open at all.
For wearers of women’s clothes, this struggle is so real. You don’t have to
look far to find Twitter-rants, articles, and videos in which people are either
complaining about not having pockets or rejoicing over that rare gem that is
the “dress with pockets”. And sure, we could all carry handbags, which is
likely what the 8 billion dollar purse industry hopes we’ll do, but not
everyone wants to carry a bag. Afterall, men’s pants pockets are basically the
pockets of our dreams.
But, like so many things on the internet, we could find complaints and
anecdotes galore but little data illustrating just how inferior women’s pockets
really are to men’s. So, we went there.
We measured the pockets in both men’s and women’s pants in 20 of the US’ most
popular blue jeans brands. Take a look at what we found."
