Wanna know why nobody has capitalized on this and added pockets to garments? Because women WONT BUY THEM. The end.
It's not that they won't buy them, it's just that there's typically a list of priorities including fashion, availability, price, durability, etc., and pockets is low on that list of concerns. If something is cheap, durable, looks good, can be bought easily nearby or online, and has pockets, it's going to sell well. The problem is that most designers seem to feel that pockets ruin fashion, so you rarely get things that are both fashionable and have useful pockets. Even when there are knock-offs of clothes where fashion isn't the main point, they tend to keep small / no pockets just because whatever they're copying had small / no pockets.
Or, hot take, a company that sells clothes with pockets makes less money than a company that sells clothes without pockets and then offers ladies $50-150 purses to compensate. If you think the fashion industry hasn’t noticed that, you’re crazy.
It’s like how the American auto industry noticed they could make more money selling big vehicles and so all of them just stopped making smaller cars. Plenty of Americans say they want smaller cars, but the American auto makers don’t care.
has this been tested?
Yes. They're out of business now.
People like to bitch, they don't actually want the thing they're bitching about.
Who is this "They"?
I know someone who made themselves a pouch in order to remedy this, so it honestly sounds like you're pulling this out of your ass.
In the town I grew up was a tailor who only sold jeans and would fit them to you right there. Every single woman I knew went there for pants because you could get pockets put in and a proper fit. I still have three pairs.
RIP
Lmm I imagine there is a pocket event horizon that woman have failed to cross
