Something You Should Know · The Power of Making Things Simple & How Pockets Changed Everything - SYSK Choice · 15 Nov 2025 podcast

You can put it down while you're at lunch or you're on the bus and you have to remember to keep hold of it.

It can be stolen.

This satellite accessory has taken a lot of energy actually.

There are a number of women and women's wear designers who've insisted on pockets and considered it part and parcel with a sense of modern freedom.

I think this idea that we don't have to worry about including pockets because women have handbags has actually been a little bit lazy and maybe kind of an excuse.

I think that's a wonderful observation.

But I would also direct you to all the, say, teenage girls who have been using their cell phones and the cases as sort of a kind of a purse, sticking their money and ID in that case, and then sticking that whole thing in their waistband of their pants as a way to not have to carry the purse.

Suffragists at the turn of the 20th century called the purse a badge of servitude.

And there have certainly been some women who just don't like carrying it.

Well, I think that happens around with the invention of the suit.

So late 17th century, when the suit is invented,

It opens up all sorts of new places to put pockets.

And so they move into the coat and you have breast and hip pockets.

And that's when they really flatten out and resemble the envelope shake pockets that we have that we're used to.

Well, pockets are certainly standard in menswear.

And I don't think anyone thinks that they're hard, but they are difficult to put in.

I teach at the Rhode Island School of Design and I teach apparel students.

And they tell me that it takes a commitment to be able to include them because you have to kind of engineer them.

You want them to lie flat.

You have to think about how the hand will fit, how you'll reach into them.
