It has been 0️⃣ days since I was bamboozled by fake pockets, something not one woman on earth has ever wanted
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.
