[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a fair amount of Internet commentary about women wanting pockets for their clothes. The lack of pockets is usually explained in a joking-not-joking way as a conspiracy of the patriarchy. Is there actually pent up demand for women's clothes that have pockets? If so, it seems like some entrepreneurs could make a fantastic amount of money by offering women's clothes with pockets, and I wonder why they haven't. My guess is that women say they want pockets, but by and large, when they go looking for clothes, they think the stuff that does have pockets is ugly and choose something else.

But I'm just a dude with no background in the clothing industry and who rarely shops for clothes anyway. Anyone with insight into what's *really* going on here?[/quote]

Yes, there's a demand. Is it really so hard to believe that women mean what they say?[/quote]

No. It's hard to believe that someone isn't rushing to make money hand-over-fist by meeting that demand. [/quote]

Cool. Then the takeaway should be "Wow, designers are really missing a great opportunity!" as opposed to "Do women REALLY want pockets? My guess is that they're lying!"[/quote]

That could be the takeaway! But why are they missing that opportunity? I doubt it's some kind of conspiracy. Perhaps there are market forces other than lack of demand standing in their way. I don't know what those market forces are. [/quote]
