    Hey, I love this article. The data visualizations are great, the writing is engaging, and the topic is actually pretty interesting. Previous tildes discussion can be read here.

    My wife has started sewing larger pockets into her pants. It's been a huge success and I recommend it to anyone with the right skills.

    IIRC I had seen this quite some time ago on HN. Or maybe sth. similar. As a guy, I increasing just tuck my stuff into my bag and dont bother carrying anything in my pockets maybe except a tissue, and sometimes the phone in my back pocket. My wallet has a place for coins, and I carry the wallet in the bag too (I like backpacks, but I am getting into canvas totebags too). Since a couple years or more, I only carry stuff in my pockets if I am walking to a shop within 1km of my home and back, and even then I keep my wallet and my keys in my hand. Pockets are clumsy IMO, except on a coat or a jacket.

    This article and this phenomenon is interesting nevertheless. But my observation is that in general men's stuff is becoming more like women's (more aesthetic, less practical) instead of a visible masculinisation of these details for women's stuff. IDK, i think I like that, the general uniformity of men's stuff is sad.
