Fake Pockets

[trista]

I always thought that when real pockets were basted together, it was so they'd hold their shape during transport and display, and you were supposed to open the stitching when you bought the garment.

That. You're supposed to take the basting out

The fakest fake pocket I ever saw was on a down coat--the coat was yellow with bright color block accents (Remember the 80s?). There was a purple 0zipper pocket--except that the purple zipper was on a flat rectangle attached to the coat with Velcro.

Stupid stupid stupid.

At least I had a toddler who liked to play opening and closing the zipper.

I see the mini-skirt and Uggs trend here a lot, sometimes with some kind of tights. And then they complain about being cold. Hello! If it's cold enough for Uggs, it's cold enough for you to wear pants.
Also: I don't care how skinny you are--tights are not a substitute for pants. Unless you're riding a bike, of course.

I really don't like that women's clothes have no pockets, or non-functional pockets. I hate carrying something extra for my keys, wallet and phone. In the winter, it's not a problem, because I stuff everything into my coat pockets (which still somehow have room for my hands).

Tangentgirl: DBF and I have coordinating jerseys. His has three pockets plus a zippered one. Mine just has the three. (What bugs me is that in a lot of places, the description was the same for both.)
