Yeah, the reality is, if women really wanted pockets in their clothes then any one of them could start making clothes with large pockets, sell them, capitalize on this market, and make oodles of money
They're already widely available. Just google "women's pants big pockets." You can buy women's pants that have a looser fit with big pockets almost anywhere, in many styles and materials, from any major retailer, at price points ranging from Walmart to designer.
I'm not sure that they're necessarily "widely available" or available "from any major retailer" I searched what you suggested and found a bunch of drop shipped results on amazon, walmart, and random sketchy sites.
I guess to me "widely available, almost anywhere, from any major retailer" sounds like these pants have saturated the market enough that I should be able to find them at any department store but honestly I have never seen large pocket options for women in a physical store. If there are physical stores carrying this option that you know of please let me know because I would love to be able to go try them out!
Yeah, I agree with this. I’ve shopped looking specifically for pants with appropriate sized pockets and they are hard to find. When the local Kohls was closing, I bought 8 pair of pants at about a dollar a piece. Only 1 had real pockets, the others weren’t even big enough to keep a lighter or chapstick in place, they always fell out.
Now, I only buy pants with appropriate sized pockets. And if I find a pair that I really like the fit, I will rip out those shitty little things and put adult size pockets into it.
My favorites are the very few super cute dresses that actually have real pockets. My friends and I always get very excited!
