They look like drawstring bags, literally.
They're not like the envelope shaped pockets that we have today.
They really sort of hung from the waistband on the inside of those big breeches.
I don't know, they were made of heavy duty material like leather or, you know, cotton duct.
They might be really long, like 20 inches.
And they were itemized and tailored invoices separately.
So they were this newfangled device, and they looked a lot more like bags than they look like pockets today.
Well, everyone has always had bags.
I mean, bags have been around forever, for millennia.
I don't know, think of Otzi, the mummy who was found in the Swiss Alps in the 90s.
I think he was...
determined to be around, that he died around 3000 BC, and he had a bag attached to his belt.
So people have carried bags in all kinds of ways, balanced on their heads, lugged by hand around the neck or onto your belt, and they've been perfectly sufficient.
I think pockets are different just because they seamlessly fit and are stitched into clothes, and that's why people find them so compelling.
Well, a man without pockets is a freak of nature, according to 19th century commentators.
But I think that the pocket and purse distinction is almost as important as the skirt and trouser distinction.
However, I would disagree with you.
There have been a lot of women who don't want to carry purses.
I mean, just think about it.
It requires all this sort of psychic energy to keep hold of your purse.
