What about smartphone pockets? My Momotaro versions have been excellent. But I have not seen them offered for sale for years. I never use the metal D-ring.

This restock and the equivalent work shirt are going to sell out in less than an hour. Even in the middle of summer

Gusseted.

@Lynne If I can have a UPS label and a promise to have the pocket returned, you could have it in hand for a bit. I own three of that size, and also a larger one that Ive never used--it is sized for more of an XL smartphone.

The two in my photo above hold an iPhone 16 just right.

What would I improve? Not much. My oldest, the one on the left, is about a decade old. I find the metal ring pointless, but it does not get in the way. Sometimes it touches my skin, which is not great. The bottom stitching on the loop on one of them gave out, and my Aunt repaired it. Iron Heart construction would go a long way.

I think they work because they are minimalist and simple. I wear it on my belt and it is a comfortable and accessible spot that I can quickly access my phone seated, and I can use it whatever I am wearing, summer or winter.

Let me know if you would prefer to measure it yourself. If not, I can help out for measurements, photos, etc.

@Lynne I tried to "chat" a reply with the photos to you, but Im not sure I can include the photos in the chat. So I will just put these in this thread.

I am home alone, so no photo with the phone inside. But these have fit all of my "normal" size smartphones for the last ten years, mostly regular size iPhones. With just a bit of wiggle room. I dont use a phone case, but I used to use a magpul iPhone case, which is a streamlined and minimal case, but still adds to the size. It was fine.
I know the rulers on the inside out photos arent aligned and are slightly blurry, but it still shows the construction.
Please ask for whatever else you need to make a sample. I think with these simplicity rules. I was thinking maybe have a loop with a snap on the side to lock it to a belt loop, but that is just a complication that not everyone would appreciate and changed my mind. The belt is a 1.5 inch OGL.

@EdH

Thanks for the info! I am going to go ahead and buy a blue one.

Actually, I would reduce the length of the belt loop. At around 2.5 inches it seems a bit excessive. I dont think most people wear belts wider than 1.5 or 2 inches. It might help reduce it from sliding back while worn on the belt.

Do the sleeves on this shirt ever loosen up? I've worn it many times and washed it once or twice but they are still tight enough to be uncomfortable. I'm wondering if I should put in the effort to break it in or just sell it. I have a 10 oz and had a 12 oz denim shirt and the sleeves were fine from the start.

This is a nice hat. I wore it on a freezing walk around the neighborhood. The breeze was only mild, but the hat did not let any cold air through. Also, it has a low profile fit that I prefer over the style of beanies with an excess of material that stands up. I am satisfied.

Any user reviews on these? I am wondering if the knit is dense enough to provide a bit of wind protection.
