@0xabad1dea Sometimes there are also fake pockets on men's suit jackets. This is not nearly as diabolical but it gives a taste of the exasperation.

@0xabad1dea so ridiculous! especially when they go to the effort of integrating the upper edge of a non-seamed pocket with a flap into the pattern, but then there's no actual pocket sewn in.

@D_J_Nathanson @0xabad1dea or, worse, the thing where there are pockets but they tack them shut. I had a jacket like this for years and it wasn't until my wife (very talented sewist) looked at it that I found out it really did have pockets, it just needed 20 seconds with a seam ripper to "enable" them. baffling.

Either that or pockets so small because yeah no woman or anywho who wears "women's" clothes ever uses phone

@gsuberland @D_J_Nathanson @0xabad1dea this is normal for jacket pockets, they do it to make the dress look more shapely in the store. they expect you to cut them open so it should be very easy to undo, just cut one thread and pull it

@0xabad1dea This isn't accidental; it's a material manifestation of patriarchal norms embedded in everyday objects.
So Fight fake pockets

@max @D_J_Nathanson @0xabad1dea yes, and it's very confusing if you don't know about it.

@D_J_Nathanson @gsuberland "because it hangs better"

@gsuberland Just, why?
@D_J_Nathanson @gsuberland so that it drapes nicely (but if you’re willing to give that up you can get pockets). #justthemessenger

@discontinuity @D_J_Nathanson @gsuberland In other words, so women's clothes are prettier and more presentable for "the male gaze." FUCK THAT I WANT FUNCTIONAL POCKETS

@discontinuity @D_J_Nathanson @gsuberland I can't do this now because there's no money coming in, but in the past I hired tailors to fix those useless short pockets and give me real ones. It's something I should learn to do myself. But it's not something I should HAVE to learn to do because garment makers won't do it themselves.

@0xabad1dea I feel you. I've a double-breasted pinstriped suit I absolutely love but the jacket has fake pockets. Gets me every stinkin' time.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange any person that designs womens clothing with fake pockets should never be allowed to have real pockets ever again
