@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.
