I would cross pockets off of the list of reasons to wear clothing. (Plus the not-sewn-in-kind are arguably better, 1, they're cheaper/easier to make, you don't have to add special steps to every garment, 2, you can make them bigger since the strain doesn't go onto the garment, 3, you can just move your whole pocket when you change clothes instead of taking your stuff out and transferring it.) | |

| Apr 20, 2022 at 23:00 | comment | added | PipperChip | From what I can tell, pockets are surprisingly recent... Like, no ancient, classical, "medieval", or even "renaissance" civilization really had them. It was bags, packs, and purses all the way back | |
