I bought this lovely long grey woollen coat last winter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been great, the only thing that would improve it would be if it had real pockets instead of those stupid faux ones that women\u2019s clothes so often have.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Honestly, what are the designers afraid of? Are they lazy, or does it destroy the line of the garment somehow, in a way that doesn\u2019t matter for men\u2019s clothes? Are they afraid of what we\u2019ll put in there? (Phones, keys, handkerchief, lipstick, a knife, guns\u2026)<\/p>\n

But then last week I noticed these little flaps on the inside of the pockets.<\/p>\n

\"\"They seemed to be blind pouches with no external connection. Could it be that they were embryonic pockets after all, waiting to be born, delivered by someone brave with a sharp implement? Surely that\u2019s what they were, I told myself, but I couldn\u2019t see any line of sutures to cut through. In the end I decided just to go for it, and dig around with a stitch cutter. At the worst, I\u2019d have a hole through the faux pockets. It\u2019s too cheap to have a lining so it would go straight through to the clothes underneath. But I just couldn\u2019t resist the chance.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And it worked! I now have no less than three pockets in my newly favourite coat. Now, I wonder if any of my other clothes have similar hidden depths?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
