Comic Strips

I remember watching this TV fashion contest thing quite a long time ago. The host of this contest was this old, wrinkly French lady who was a long time veteran in women's fashion (apparently).

So in the episode the upstart designers had to create... I think... Three fashionable pants for women. One of the contestants created all three of her pants with pockets, and I think one of them had some excessive pockets.

She was dismissed by the host immediately, before the model even wore any of the pants. Basically the episode was already decided, as that contestant got eliminated on the spot.

The reason? Well, that veteran fashion designer stated something along the lines of; "The female form is the most beautiful and powerful thing we have, and we can't have pockets ruin that. It's for women to accessorise with a handbag".

This stuck with me for all these years, because I was so revulsed when I saw that. What a load of bullshit. A load of pretentious garbage.

What's hilarious is I was just laughing at a comment thread about someone sharing the "boxers are good for 4 days" flipping method lmao

Just seems unsanitary tbh

We do? Since when? Where can I buy it?

I've never seen men's underpants with pockets. But I'm also not researching the topic extensively, so it's possible this is a development in undergarment tech that I'm not aware of.

Truly the devil's panties.

I've started wearing molle pouches on my belt, so I have pockets wether I'm wearing pants or not.

I'm currently carrying 2 water bottles, my phone, my work phone, sunglasses, and several tools that I need constantly.

highly recommend, just wish they were available in fun colors and designs instead of exclusively tacticool bullshit.

A “cell phone” still sounds like something you’d have hidden up your bum to me.

Skill issue. Buy men's clothes. Problem solved.

Sure, sure, but women get two prison pockets.

Please tell me those are not a real thing.

Just buy the pants that have pockets then, problem solved.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket

In medieval Europe, early pocket-like openings called fitchets appeared in the 13th century. These vertical slits, cut into the outer tunic, allowed access to a purse or keys suspended from the girdle beneath.[3] Historian Rebecca Unsworth notes that pockets became more visible in the late 15th century,[4] and their use spread widely in the 16th century.[4]

Later, pockets were often worn like purses on a belt, concealed under a coat or jerkin to deter pickpocketing, with access through a slit in the outer garment.

By the 17th century, pockets were sewn into men's clothing, while women's remained as separate tie-on pouches hidden beneath skirts.[5][6]

A reticule, also known as a ridicule or indispensable, was a type of small handbag or purse, similar to a modern evening bag, used mainly from 1795 to 1820.[1]

The reticule became popular with the advent of Regency fashions in the late 18th century. Previously, women had carried personal belongings in pockets tied around the waist, but the columnar skirts and thin fabrics that had come into style made pockets essentially unusable.

This is like the tap water of comics, yum!!!
