For what it’s worth… I don’t have issues with my pockets

@pechelman @Alex I’ve often thought I rather preferred the old sizing chart format too. A lot easier to read it was.

we will go back to how it should be from now

@Oaktavia I find myself doing the same. The 888 pockets are pretty hard to access anyway since their opening barely even fits my hands and they’re higher up in the hip bends. Western style thumb holders. I don’t think I’d have them different tho, or they’d look weird.

@Oaktavia I utilize the reinforced belt loops to hook my pocket stabbers(keys) to.

I have theorised (and written this many times), that the smaller/lighter front pocket bags are a Haraki-san design choice. As with the tighter, longer sleeves, on shirts and jackets that cut down on the negative effects of wind, it’s a biker thing.
Having lots of stuff in your front pockets is uncomfortable and impractical while riding. This is also the reason why back pockets are re-enforced and widely placed. You can carry stuff in them while sat on a bike.
If you look further and consider the emphasis on vests and strapped bags, this supports the point, and suggests a logical design architecture. Haraki-san makes things he would wear, that function well for riders. Bags and vests are way better storage than front pockets in this respect.
On an unrelated, and entirely personal note, putting stuff in the front pockets of jeans ruins the fit of the top block, and makes them look shit.

@pechelman wise words.
-
Yeah phone fades or whatever else in the front pocket are the reason I never keep anything in my front pockets, never thought the bags were too shallow but maybe because only my hands go in there. With the goal being making clothes specifically to function well when on a bike, it would be pretty silly to make a bunch of changes for those who aren't riding a bike. I mean I don't have a motorbike (I do day dream though) but I can appreciate that the clothes aren't designed with my specific needs in mind, nor should they be as my needs are different than everyone elses

100% on point exactly.

I've seen a kangaroo jump a 1 meter high wire fence at 80 km/h.
I don't think kangaroos need a Harley @neph93

@neph93 as a biker, I fully agree. The only thing ever in the pockets of my jeans are a chain wallet. The rest is either attached to my belt, in a bag, or a jacket/shirt. The shirt measurements are perfect for riding. Longer sleeves are ideal, this goes for pant length too, riding position takes inches out of the length of everything. I also can’t stand when my clothes are flapping in the wind for hours on a bike. I LOVE the wide rear pockets too.

@WhiskeySandwich Forward controls, engineer boots, and long jeans are awesome. Hell, even mids work with that combination.

@WhiskeySandwich I don't ride, but I'm long. I don't have to size up up up to get properly fitting sleeves. Much appreciated perk for me.
️ I don't put anything in my front pockets
