Another interesting piece about pockets is that in menswear, it's part of doing business.
In womenswear, it's often sort of thrown out because it takes too much time.
First thing to go are pockets.
Hi, Mike.
It's great to be here.
Pockets are so, they're so familiar, but we haven't spent any attention on them.
There are lots of gloriously beautiful books about bags, for example.
Very few about pockets.
And I think that they're one of those things that upon closer inspection, have a number of things to say about how we negotiate the world.
Well, they've only been in use for about 500 years, so not quite forever.
But their origins are a mystery.
Pockets are first stitched into men's breeches around like 1550 or so.
And those breeches were this sort of puffy bloomers that ended at the knee.
Think of Henry VIII.
I don't think we're ever going to discover who had that aha moment.
No tailor explains why they began including pockets.
there seems to be really something improvised about early pockets.
It's as if the tailor said, huh, I'm not going to attach this purse to your belt anymore.
Why don't I see if I can stuff it inside these really big breeches?
And they do look sort of improvised.
