Alan Because women don't think they look as good with big pockets, and so women won't buy them. My sister always seemed partial to Wrangler's because of the cut. A snug pair of Wranglers squeezes a woman in all the right places. Decent pockets. Not the best pockets, but decent.
When money stopped being an issue, I started going with Carhartt's, because they were thicker, their zippers were rugged, and you could buy the double-fronts over the knees. You feel bulletproof in them, even if you're spending time on your knees, and they last forever.
But I bet if you looked around all the different brands at Eddie Bauer or some other sportsman outfit, you'd find some made-for-women clothing that looks good and has decent pockets. I imagine it's pretty hit-or-miss.
But maybe this isn't really a problem, at all. Maybe it's the universe telling you there's a niche for good blue jeans with good pockets, made for women. Put your mind to it, I bet you could make men jealous.

@marikroyals7111 So you're saying you wear men's clothes and hang out with LGBT crowd, but you're sick of being misjudged? I first noticed that with punkers, who'd pierce every inch of exposed skin (while exposing as much skin as possible), cut their hair in the inevitable mohawk, wear makeup that simulates a 6-day-old human corpse, tattoo their bodies with vulgar and outlandish images and text, then turn every conversation towards the subject of how people judge by appearances.
In your case, I don't think it's a cry for help. Just someone who's practical and chooses to be comfortable rather than compete for eye-candy prizes. You sound like maybe you've got mild Aspergers, which means you probably aren't a good judge of what's flattering for you. There're all kinds of ways a woman can be comfortable without coming across as total butch.
Heh. I'm a straight guy with a mild disability that made me very exacting about my own clothing, to accentuate the positive and diminish the negative. My OLDER sister noticed I always matched colors and was artful about how my clothes fit and looked on me. I gained the knack because while I was uncommon strong for someone so brittle, I still didn't look very prepossessing in short pants. Let's put it that way! LOL!
My sister, my older brother and my dad were all of a husky, heavy-boned body type. My sister would ask ME for an honest opinion on what was flattering and what made her look fat. She had a woman's shape, but she was literally big-boned. But she always moved gracefully. She wouldn't show it but she could whup all the girls in her grade and about half the boys, even after puberty.
Anyway, doesn't sound like you necessarily have my or my sister's problems, but I bet you're smart enough to make a study of it, if you wanted. That's an advantage of being a little OCD or Asberger's. You can get to about anything you want, because you have the ability to focus. Just gotta be deliberate and plan your attentions.
