abadideaIt has been 0️⃣ days since I was bamboozled by fake pockets, something not one woman on earth has ever wanted
Dave Nathanson@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.
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@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.
@gsuberland Just, why?
discontinuity@D_J_Nathanson @gsuberland "because it hangs better"
Soozcat@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.
