@0xabad1dea i had pants with real pockets turned fake. they sew the real pockets closed. you can't make this shit up
Many higher end tailored items, whether jackets or pants, have the pockets tacked shut to keep their shape in shipping and in stores. It also means that an alterationist can make changes around them without distorting the lines.
The stitches should be further apart to make it easier to rip them with a seam ripper.

@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.
@D_J_Nathanson @0xabad1dea plus, as far as I know, dudes don’t really use the outside pockets, so that minimizes the annoyance factor

@AlsoPaisleyCat @0xabad1dea oh no, it was stitched extremely tight, same stitching as the rest!
and it was a very cheap, possibly fast-fashion item -

@0xabad1dea also diabolical; fake front pants pockets but real pockets in the back. Because of course I want my keys jabbing me in the asscheek whenever I sit down.

@0xabad1dea They’re coming for men’s pockets now as well.
I recently replaced my coat, which was ten years old and falling to pieces. When I bought it, every coat had two inside pockets, a few fancy ones had three (not ones I could afford). Now, most of them including ones from places like Moss Bros had one. The two side pockets are still there, but the fashion is now for the stupid diagonal ones that can hold half as much as proper ones.
I remain of the 19th century opinion that the skill of a tailor is measured by the number of pockets that they can insert without distorting the lines of a garment.
