I hate fake pockets that you can't get your hand in

what is the point,

I guess it's for looks.
I too wear mens pants. When I was promoted from custodial to Maintenance they were worried I would be a problem because the uniform didn't come in women's. Ha I didn't care because I had already figured out, even back then, that the mens were better made and had better pockets. I didn't care that the shirt didn't fit stylishly. I wasn't there to look pretty that's for sure

I was the first woman in that dept ( and still was when I retired) ... was interesting back in the late 70's and early 80's, not like now when women do just about any job.
BTW the official job title was "Maintence MAN"

I told them I didn't care about that either, so long as I recieved the same pay. I also was fine with "man door" "manhole cover" and so forth...
