I miss the good ol’days :(

(paging @dowie , this is your chance to take a swing)

I was just googling why jacket pockets are always sewn shut, an idle mind is a dead mind after all, and found this article:

https://www.gq.com/story/wool-trousers-pockets-sewn-shut

A mere decade ago this was considered normal. Is it still the case or would dowie’s RSS go nuts? I don’t really follow all this drivel unless it’s posted on here or I feel like trolling those idiots on twitter.

G’wan son! Do me proud!

Diddums my dear friend, I'm at a loss to understand why your sartorial ignorance would prompt a strong opinion from me either way.

dirtychinchilla · 1 Nov 2018 at 17:25

I think it is normal. Just us young people don't realise that it's always been going on.

You can try to claim cultural appropriation isn't a thing any more if you like? That would cause me to argue

Edit - give me 5 minutes and I'll find a new RSS thread especially for you - you're welcome to pop in and shake an angry fist and bemoan the very existence of said thread....

Consistency is king

It's quite normal. Just open them up. The same happens with the vents on the back of some jackets.

I miss the good ol’threads.

I worded my post wrong, I meant is it normal to censor articles like this when it can be construed as sexism by the noflake generation, or do companies do the right thing and ignore the twitter echoing chamber?

I read this as jacket potatoes always sewn shut and wondered what was happening.

A gentleman has no need of pockets for sundries such as mobile phones, cash, credit cards etc. Such trivialities ruin the cut of a good suit.

Diddums and dowie are two personalities of the same person.

I miss the internet not being full of idiots sharing tons of fake news.

Agreed. I don't know at what point a lot of people lost critical thinking but I think it was about 2012-13

But is that jacket ‘technical’? That’s all the matters.
