Why do women's pants come with

the pockets sewn shut? It is very frustrating. My only guess is that some people think the pants look or fit better without pockets, but I really like having pockets. I rarely buy pants that don't have pockets, and I hate when they are sewn shut because I don't really want to take scissors to a new pair of pants- I'm afraid I'll screw up and wreck them.
Any thoughts?

on the rare occasion i dont buy pants with pockets you seem get them with the pockets sewn shut theres no real pocket inside so..it doesnt make sense to open them up. A few times there has been the pocket available but sewn shut I take a seam ripper and carefully remove the seam from the pockets then use a needle and thread to reinforce the seam where i stopped ripping.
I hate pants without pockets too.

I've bought lots of pants that have real pockets sewn shut, and some with just the little decorative thing that looks like it should be a pocket. I'll try the seam ripper.

They also do this with mens suits, it is only a problem for me when they forget to take the treading out when I have it altered. I have to be careful taking them out, I have tore a hole in one beofre ripping out the treading.

Well I've no idea why the pockets are sewn shut on women's pants. But I prefer pants with pockets as they are convenient and give a smarter look.Have a good day!

I guess its because you guys have a purse to carry your stuff in, if they arent double stitched you could pull the threads out and turn it into a pocket.
