Boob pockets: Who thought this was a good idea?

[Dangerously Amused]

So I'm shopping for (women's) button-up career or business-casual shirts, but just the plain old classic ones; not the latest fashion, cut to include a "V" at the neck with the top button missing. And every time I shop for them, most of the shirts I find have at least one but usually two pockets centered right over the boobs. Why?

If a woman puts stuff in the pockets and the shirt material is opaque, it's going to look like she has deformed boobs. If the material is semi-sheer, it's just going to make people stare at her boobs trying to figure out what the stuff is in her pockets.

Regardless, what woman wants to be seen grabbing around in her boob pockets to fish out a kleenex or change or chapstick or whatever?!? I have never, EVER seen a woman actually use these pockets for anything, but nearly all the women's shirts have them. So why are they there? Are they supposed to draw attention to the boobs? And if so, in what way is that appropriate for the workplace?


DU sistas, do you use your boob pockets? Am I the only one who finds them impractical and silly?




Boob pockets:

[Shakespeare]

1. They look like eyelids for your boobs. n/t

[Dangerously Amused]

11. Wow, they do!

Well, these do anyway. Though a lot of them are just regular, open-at-the-top pockets, like on guys shirts.



:hi:

[flvegan]

2. We don't care what's in your pockets...

we're just staring at your boobs. Duh.

"If the material is semi-sheer, it's just going to make people stare at her boobs trying to figure out what the stuff is in her pockets." Pfft...whatever.

[Dangerously Amused]

16. But you at least TRY not to, right? I mean in the workplace and all?

That's what I mean. These are business shirts. Why would a businesswoman want to make her boobs even more of a distraction if she expects to be taken seriously in the workplace?


I mean hell, if a woman had stuff in her boob pockets at work, even I would be distracted trying to figure out what she had in her pockets. It's just like, you know... I mean, what woman carries erasers and change and pens and stuff on the end of her boobs?

[flvegan]

23. I make a conscious effort

to make eye to eye contact and not eye to boob.

Now, if I could get the ladies at my workplace to stop staring at MY chest. All the blushing in the world isn't going to keep me from snickering when I bust you. I'm not just a piece of meat, you know. I have...feelings. :cry:

[Dangerously Amused]

30. I know you're not just a piece of meat, baby.

And I know you have feelings. Okay? I promise I'll still respect you in the morning.


Now let's get you undressed.

[regnaD kciN]

176. Reminding me of a favorite quote from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"...

Anya: Look, I know you find me attractive; I've seen you looking at my breasts.
Xander: Nothing personal, but when a guy does that, it just means his eyes are open.

[Dangerously Amused]

197. Cute!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

3. I just always sort of assumed they were decorative.

:shrug:

They're actual pockets? Hmm...interesting.

[begin_within]

6. You mean boobs?

[GOPisEvil]

7. No, the pockets!

I KNOW the boobs are deocrative. :hide:

[Dangerously Amused]

10. LOL!

You funny!


No, all the ones I've seen are completely functional. The pockets, I mean. Well the boobs too, I guess.





As a side note, funny how all the responders to this thread so far are male. Gotta love DU guys!


:7

[GOPisEvil]

12. Well, some of us (the lucky ones) have first-hand knowledge.

Well, not REALLY first-hand knowledge, but you know what I mean.

I mean, well...sheesh, :blush:

[begin_within]

4. The whole shirt looks like Eeyore

[Dangerously Amused]

24. Ha ha!

That is a perfect comparison. I'm guessing you are a very visually oriented, creative person.

[begin_within]

47. I guess I would answer that with this...

[Dangerously Amused]

52. That last one with Janet made me lol!

Nice work!

[MrScorpio]

5. Maybe they're pokie protectors?

To hide your pokies

[Dangerously Amused]

25. Now there's an idea! Pokie protectors...

We could hide laser beams in the pockets to smack a guy in the eyes if he looks at our boobs in the workplace. That'll learn him!


Yeah!


:bounce:

[NewWaveChick1981]

46. ROFLMFAO!!!

:rofl: Pokie protectors.... gotta remember that one! :rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

8. I think you should just cut the pockets off the shirt

two big circles :evilgrin:

[flvegan]

9. I'd like to see her reaching into those pockets to remove what

she's put in there. She'd look like she was...you know...

[Guava Jelly]

13. She is a very healthy woman

with a Nice

deer :) or do they call it a R_ck
I am going to get so smacked!

[flvegan]

15. Those boob pockets don't stand a chance, do they?

She has some lucky f'ing pockets, if you ask me.

[Dangerously Amused]

27. Okay naughty boy. Time to pull out the big guns.

[flvegan]

29. Your boobs?

Oh, yes please!

[Dangerously Amused]

32. Ha ha!

Not the best choice of words, eh? "Big guns" is more suited to your biceps anyway.

[flvegan]

34. You show me yours, and...

I'll show you mine. I never thought I'd enjoy a "gun show."

[Dangerously Amused]

37. Why? So you can laugh at my scrawny biceps?

My biceps have feelings too!


:cry:

[flvegan]

39. Not what I meant, but

I'll take what of you I can get.

:evilgrin:

[Guava Jelly]

41. did you sa y "bigguns "

as in mammary gland bigguns ? :)
here it comes again ouch! ouch! ouch!

[Dangerously Amused]

51. Oh man!

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

60. ouch!

harder harder :)

[Guava Jelly]

38. I have one coming don't I

:)

[NewWaveChick1981]

48. Get him, DA!

He needs a good whipping. And you're just the woman to administer it.... :evilgrin:

[Dangerously Amused]

53. Help me, gf! And calling any other Lounge sistas for an assist here!

This guy is outta control!!!



:crazy:

[Guava Jelly]

63. Yeah Naughty Girls Unite!!

Us men folk can use some discipline :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

64. You got it! I'll tie him down while you...

...get to work. :spank:

[Guava Jelly]

65. yay!!

I get to be tied down by two hot Mamma's
thank you god!!
:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

71. Hey NWC... he seems to be enjoying this a little TOO much.

Uh oh.


You think we got duped?

[Guava Jelly]

74. What ???crap your on to me!

:evilgrin:

[NewWaveChick1981]

75. Could be.

Spank him harder! :spank: He needs to be taught some humility.

[Guava Jelly]

78. You can spank me also Nwc

:)

[NewWaveChick1981]

81. I might just have to do that.

You've been a naughty boy. :spank:

[Guava Jelly]

84. ouch don't..stop... please.. don't stop!

:):hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

79. But my biceps are so scrawny.

You think flvegan would stand in for us?

[NewWaveChick1981]

80. DA, I've been working out, so my arms are pretty strong...

I can do it or flvegan can do it.... I'm fine either way... :P

[Guava Jelly]

82. no i wanna be spanked by Da and Nwc and any other fine

Mamma who wants to take a wack
I've been so so Naw-ty could either of you do an english accent :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

21. OMG! LOL!

First I laugh:


:rofl:



Now I spank:


:spank:

[Guava Jelly]

22. ouch ouch

you know everytime you swing that paddle things bounce :)
ouch! ouch! ouch!

[Dangerously Amused]

33. As long as it's your things bouncing more than mine, it's working.

:7



:spank: :spank: :spank:

[leftofthedial]

14. yeah. that's it. I wasn't checking out your hooters

I was analyzing the contents of your boob pockets.

[hfojvt]

31. because you know nobody would look there

if it wasn't for the pockets. Those pockets are just so eye-catching and distracting.

[Dangerously Amused]

42. I'm not saying nobody would ever look there anyway.

But I'm saying if they're never used, then why are they there?

[Dangerously Amused]

36. ...

:eyes:

[leftofthedial]

132. they provide plausible deniability

for boob-addicted knocker oglers like me.

I can't help myself. I know you have eyes (which I adore) and a face (which is infinitely interesting to look at) and a brain (where your wit and wisdom live) . . .

But I love tits, breasts, mammaries, jugs, pillows of fun . . . So shoot me. I love 'em.

if you're wearing pokie protectors (that is a good one!), we can both just pretend I'm distracted by your, um, *pockets*, and not mentally massaging your mammaries.

[NewWaveChick1981]

49. Is that 'cause you've got X-Ray Specs on?

:P

[leftofthedial]

139. it even works when your shirt has no boob pockets

"I'm not eyeing your bumper bullets, I'm just wondering what that blouse would look like with boob pockets."

I'm digging this.

Those X-Ray specs don't work . . . I tried.

[leftofthedial]

150. sheesh. all this boob talk

y'all are gonna think I have a fixation.

[Sugar Smack]

17. I have a bunch of shirts like that,

and it really never occured to me to store ANYTHING in the boob pockets.

OK- I just said "boob pockets" out loud. :rofl: :loveya:

[Dangerously Amused]

57. I have a few casual shirts with boob pockets, too.

And I like them. But I just realized when shopping yesterday that I always look for business shirts without boob pockets. Which set me off to comtemplating the merits of boob pockets in the first place...


It is funny to say out loud, isn't it? "Boob pockets." AND, I just learned that it is impossible to say "boob pockets" really fast ten times in a row. Try it! LOL!


:rofl:


:hi:


:loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

18. This thread needs more pictures !

:evilgrin:

[Radical Activist]

19. It looks like a man's shirt.

Maybe its just part of the trend of women taking men's fashions.

[Dangerously Amused]

58. That particular shirt was being sold online as a women's shirt.

But I encounter this situation in the women's departments, too.





"Maybe its just part of the trend of women taking men's fashions."


Heh heh.


Women: "DAMMIT, we want pockets on our boobs, just like the men get!"

Fashion designers: "But you're never going to use them."

Women: "We don't CARE! Men get them and we want them too!"


= stamps foot =

[Radical Activist]

67. hehe

Yes, I think that is exacly how it works.

[Book Lover]

20. They are decorative

And usually designed to give a little visual enhancement to the boobage area, rather than designed for practical use. Like in the olden days how women used to sew lace onto their necklines (which used to be lower than a lot of modern-day puritans think they used to be) to give a bit of visual oomph to the bust.

No, I can't imagine using them for anything bigger than a chapstik.

[Dangerously Amused]

66. I guess I can understand the "decorative" use on casual tops.

Some women may want additional "visual interest" there, and pockets, though impractical, may be the most subtle way to accomplish that. But in button-down business shirts? It just seems silly.

[Book Lover]

70. Yep. I totally agree.

Now that I look at my own wardrobe, I see the few shirts I have with these pockets are large-for-me men's workshirts :-)

[In_The_Wind]

26. I like boob pockets. I use them for several reasons ...

When they're empty they cover my constant bralessness better than a single layer of fabric. I do carry things in my boob pockets at times :shrug: never mind the lopsided look.

:hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

69. Hey Joanie!

I suppose they are quite functional in the commando situation. I hadn't even considered that potential use. :7


:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

136. Hey D A!

:loveya: whole bunches

My proclivity for going commando is because tight fitting clothing hurts my body. I haven't been able to wear shorts, slacks or a skirt since I arrived in Florida on this trip. I'm glad I brought a few dresses! My little Chevy Tracker is good_on_gas but bad_on _the_body. x(

[zanne]

180. Yay, Joan_Alpern!

I like boob pockets, too. That's what I look for when I'm shopping for a shirt. I own one bra that I wear only for very special occasions. The boob pockets are wonderful!

[Jamastiene]

28. I put my snacks in them when I go fishing.

They come in handy if you don't care about looks, which I don't. Otherwise, you make an excellent point. I mean if you use them they make anything you put in stick waaay out there.

[Dangerously Amused]

73. Right. Very practical when fishing or camping or whatever

...when you need a lot of pockets. But...


I just got this visual of putting my snacks in them at work!



:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

172. LOL.

That's hilarious. Now imagine that it's beef jerky, which is shaped sorta funny anyhow. :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

188. Beef Jerky would be good, though I was thinking more along the lines of

...a big honkin' pair-a Twinkies, one each stickin' outta them boob pockets.


Or a few handfuls a' peanuts-in-the-shell, makin' em all weird and lumpy.


Or... the best...


A nice, thick, hockey puck-shaped Ding Dong right on the end of each boobage! Talk about "headlights." Heeeee!


:7

[Momgonepostal]

35. Well, OK, one advantage is they keep things covered if...

your office is cold.

I would never actually USE the pocket, though.

[Dangerously Amused]

77. Good point. I hadn't considered the "cold office" angle.

Though if it was that cold I would probably throw on a cardigan.


Then again, one never knows when one might be caught in a winter cold/summer air conditioned place with no cardigan handy, and boob pockets would be most fortunate.


:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

40. Horny guys who like an easy place to grope?

:shrug:

[Dangerously Amused]

85. In that case,

...I think that targets or big red "X"s would be more helpful than pockets. Don't you?

[ZombieNixon]

88. But guys are lazy by nature,

and need a place to rest our hands. Don't you want to make things easy for us? :eyes: :P

[Dangerously Amused]

91. But we already give you bras for that.

:shrug:



:7

[ZombieNixon]

93. There has to be an easier way.

Simplify! Simplify!! :7

[Dangerously Amused]

95. There is.

I say you get to work right away on legislation that will make it lawful for women to go topless in all the same places where men go topless.



:headbang:

[ZombieNixon]

100. But there are certain men who shouldn't be allowed to go topless anywhere.

x(

I'm sure you'd say the same about women.

:shrug:

[Dangerously Amused]

106. Only if her boobs are nicer than mine!

:P

[MiniMandaRuth]

43. I never use them. They draw only more attention to my chest.

Which is fine and dandy for a twenty-year-old. Bu for a fourteen-year-old.... eh... now so great, especially with teenage boys around.

[Dangerously Amused]

86. Exactly!

:hi:

[mwooldri]

44. So do we rule out military shirts? IIRC they have pockets on, no?

And women wear them also? The poor women in the Coast Guard...



/mark

[Dangerously Amused]

87. Well, I think you're making my point.

In the business environment especially, they're rather absurd. It would be like men having a pocket right over their crotch.

[NewWaveChick1981]

45. Boob pockets SUCK, and not in a good way.

:P I especially hate them when they have buttons sewn on in strategic places. It just looks like a FReeper's idea of porn---not too dirty, but not exactly subtle either. :rofl: I have no shirts in my wardrobe that have such pockets because I despise them so much. :grr:

Most of my tops enhance my boobage just fine without them. :P

[Dangerously Amused]

90. That's a point I was trying to make, but you said it better:

"I especially hate them when they have buttons sewn on in strategic places. It just looks like a FReeper's idea of porn---not too dirty, but not exactly subtle either."



Right? On some shirts it's like, let's use this socially acceptable way to outline women's boobs on their shirts, and then subliminally emphasize them with buttons.

[NewWaveChick1981]

98. Thanks.

That's exactly right! :P

[skygazer]

50. My work uniform shirts have boob pockets

Of course, my work uniform shirts are the ugliest things this side of Paris Hilton anyway - sort of a diarrhea green, button-down, boob-pocketed disaster - but anyway.....

Yeah, boob pockets. They are silly, I never liked them and on a lot of shirts, they're so small you couldn't put anything in them even if you wanted to which I can't imagine anyone wanting to do.

[Dangerously Amused]

94. " ... sort of a diarrhea green, button-down, boob-pocketed disaster..."

Wow. Man. I am SO sorry about that!


Have you considered changing occupations? Or perhaps you could get a doctor's note saying that you can't wear "diarrhea green" because it gives you ulcers or migraines or psychotic episodes or something.

[NC_Nurse]

54. Scrub tops have one boob pocket...

every time you lean over, you're pen falls out. I prefer to wear my own with pockets at the hem. They are actually usable.

[Dangerously Amused]

97. Damn straight! I'm talking about practicality here, people!

her bra pockets. Me thinks it would not be a good look.

[NewWaveChick1981]

101. Kind of like a horizontal double-dip ice cream cone, I reckon.

[uppityperson]

59. They cover my nipples, I like them, don't have to wear a bra. eom

[Dangerously Amused]

103. Unfortunately I can't go braless to work.

:(

[uppityperson]

125. That are what the pockets are for, so no one can tell, helps to be AAA

that's too bad.

[PassingFair]

155. Me too, Uppity.

I'm a 70's kid, I STILL don't
like wearing bras, so I LOVE
the "boob pockets".

In the 70's, we wouldn't be
CAUGHT DEAD with all the bra
strap showing that goes on today.

I see girls in HALTERS with bra
straps showing.

Ugh.

[jobycom]

62. Top five uses for boob pockets

#5) Safe place to stick pin nametags
#4) If you write your hopes and dreams on them, guys may care
#3) You can cut out the back of the pocket for easy access from the outside.
#2) Boosts profit of fabric manufacturers and seamsters
#1) Carry small red flashing LEDs in them to make guys REALLY notice!

[Dangerously Amused]

104. Dude. Come on now.

You want us to wear our names on our boobs?



:spank:

[jobycom]

114. No, I want you to name each boob.

Anyway, that's the only way guys will actually learn your name.

[NewWaveChick1981]

116. Follow the example set by Katherine Harris...

Or actually, set by the Daily Show about Katherine Harris: Call one Moxie and one Spunk. :rofl:

:hi: :*

[graywarrior]

68. Hate them. If you have 36 longs, then your boobs are

below the pockets. If your boobs are big, the pockets stick out like neon signs. Then, after you wash the shirt, the pocket lids curl up at the ends and you have to iron them, or if you're like me, a lazy slacker, you wear them curled up and look like an idiot.

Besides, I hate when people talk to my boob pockets instead of me.

[Dangerously Amused]

107. And no matter how long you iron it,

... it will always curl a little.



:banghead:




Hey!

I don't even think they look cute. I certainly wouldn't put anything in them if I had to wear a shirt like that for some reason.

[Dangerously Amused]

109. Hey Mutters!

GMTA!



:cheers:

[calico1]

83. Boob pockets are one of the stupidest

ideas ever. They make sense for men but not for women!

Also the flap pockets on jackets that hit you at the waistline. They just make you look hippier unless of course you are thin and have small hips.

[Dangerously Amused]

115. Right on!

Yeah, I am picky about the pockets on my pants and jeans as well. And like the boob pockets, in a work situation I never put anything in my rear pants pockets either. Who wants to walk around with a lumpy butt?

[Wetzelbill]

89. yeah they don't seem to make much sense for a woman

not at all.

[Dangerously Amused]

117. Hey Bill!

You are a wise man. And there may well be a fashion design career in your future!

:hi:

I would glad pick these kind of pockets :P

[Dangerously Amused]

118. It wouldn't be a very lucrative career.

And I think you'd get slapped in the face a lot.


But hey, it's not all about the money, right? Gotta love your job, that's the important thing.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

138. Just maby I'm into that

:blush:

[SOteric]

96. They're just to give guys a pretense at a reason for staring at your boobs

[Dangerously Amused]

119. I think that's exactly it; a built-in excuse for when they get busted.

"What? Oh no, I would never stare at your boobs. I was just admiring the meticulous stitching on your boob pockets. That's some real craftsmanship right there! Wow. I wonder if they used a #3 or a #4 needle to get those stitches so tight. I could never do that with my machine. And look how finely turned the corners are! Ohhh, and the grain of the patch lines up perfectly with the grain of the shirt..."



:eyes:

[TOhioLiberal]

105. perhaps they're...

nipple covers? You know to cover the 'gee it's cold out here' effect? :rofl:

120. True. They could definitely be an ally on certain occasions.

113. Those are actually nipple flaps.

*cough*

Please don't buy that shirt. Wait for the ones without pockets.

[Dangerously Amused]

124. Ha ha!

:spray:

[mykpart]

149. Right! They keep your nipples from showing through.

[hedgehog]

140. I'm always looking for shirts with boob pockets

Although I don't call them that. It's an engineer thing. We always have three pens in our pocket (You need three in case the first two don't work) A high lighter and a pencil are optional. Engineers need to have a pen handy for drawing pictures so other engineers can figure out what they're talking about. It used to be fun when my husband and I got home from work. We were both conscientious about leaving office supplies at work, so when we got home and tried to explain to each other what we'd worked on that day, we'd end up slapping an empty pocket looking for a pen.

Engineers don't need to carry paper. There is always something around (newspaper, bag, napkin, wall) that you can write on, but you gotta have a pen in your chest pocket.

[Dangerously Amused]

141. You could strap a holster to your belt

...and then carry around ten pens in case the first nine didn't work. Or just clip all the pens right to your belt, that would be kinda cool. :7 Plus all the engineer guys would get pen envy.


Kidding.

I would vote in favor of a female engineer exception to the boob pockets rule.

PS - I think it is pretty cool that you are an engineer.

[Skittles]

142. don't get me started

I already have to deal with "gapitis"; boob pockets just send me over the edge :o

[Dangerously Amused]

144. lol! And I would NEVER, intentionally, get you started. EVER.

:scared:



:hi:

[NV Whino]

143. I love boob pockets

They disguise my braless boobs. And I only put small stuff in them such as a credit card, driver's license or a couple of buck if i don't want to carry a purse/wallet.

[Dangerously Amused]

145. and if you carry your cell phone there,

...it can stop a speeding bullet!

:hi:

[NV Whino]

152. It's pretty cool

when you have your cell phone on vibrate. Have to switch pockets on occasion, though. Equal opportunity and all that.

[Dangerously Amused]

163. OMG. I would shriek, then bust out laughing if that happened!

(No pun intended.)



:hi:

[Duer 157099]

175. Me too, I put my ATM card in there just before driving thru the bank

makes in-n-out easier

[JohMunich99]

148. It's too look manly

Got fit in, right? Title IX? Burning bras?

[Dangerously Amused]

164. Burning bras would definitely get rid of the manly-looking shirts concern.

Welcome to DU.


:hi:

[wildhorses]

151. that is a seriously tacky looking shirt!! I would not go to a

dog fight in it! But, seriously, I hate pockets on boobs.:thumbsdown: Do NOT even own a shirt or blouse with them. UGH!!! YUCK!! PPEEEEWWWW:puke:

[Dangerously Amused]

165. I was looking for an image for illustration purposes

...and it's the first one I found online. Not the best example, in retrospect. But oh well, we agree on the underlying issue and that's the important part.

[Guava Jelly]

153. Hey D_A

After rereading a few of my post in this thread today from yesterday I maybe got a little to crass.
I was getting close to 4000 post so i was trying to get there as fast as i could.
If i offended you in any way I apologize.
:)

[Dangerously Amused]

166. Oh silly!

You are far too sweet to offend me. Sweethearts like you, if they do say something which could be reasonably interpreted as accidentially offensive, get a pass because I will presume that the intent was good, but the effect was the result of a miscue.

So don't worry. We're good!


:hi:


:pals:

[Guava Jelly]

169. Thank you!!

I truly think you are a nice lady.
And I do respect you.
I just think sometimes i get carried away.
Have a great evening :hug:

[Dangerously Amused]

171. Yeah. I take the testosterone factor into account, too.

Ha ha!


:hug:

[billyskank]

154. If you're a guy, and a geek

the boob pocket is where your pens go. :)

[hedgehog]

156. If you're a girl, and a geek

the boob pocket is where your pens go.

[billyskank]

158. Excellent!

:bounce:

:D

[Dangerously Amused]

168. Hi billy!

You have the NICEST boob pockets I've ever seen!


:loveya:

[billyskank]

177. Hi DA!

You have the nicest b...

no, I can't say it :blush:

:rofl:

:loveya:

[Dangerously Amused]

189. :blush:

:hug:

[MissMillie]

157. who thought it up? flat chested women clothing designers

yeah, you can't get me to wear a shirt w/ pockets on the boobies.

However, I won't buy a pair of pants that doesn't have pockets.

[hedgehog]

159. You can't keep pens in your pants packets.

They end up jabbing you when you sit down.

[MissMillie]

183. no but you can tuck one behind your ear

:)

[Dangerously Amused]

170. Heh. I figured it was the male designers of women's clothing.

Practical for a guy, not so much for a woman.

But when has that ever stopped them from anything?


:hide:

[Kixel]

160. It's really great when your chest is larger sized...

They NEVER look right and they are always in the wrong spot. Horizontal pockets look weird.

[Dangerously Amused]

167. Agreed!

:highfive:



Welcome to DU!

[Kixel]

181. Thank you!

[Duer 157099]

174. Uh oh, I guess I'm weird

I actually really like shirts with a breast pocket, although not with the flappy thing.

The main use I have for it is when I'm driving and put my sunglasses on, I put my Rx glasses into my pocket. I tried using the glasses case in my purse, but too often I ended up just putting my glasses on the car seat, and then they get scrunched or left behind.

No, I love that little pocket for just this one purpose, keeping my glasses handy.

And yeah, they make my pocket stick out funny, but who cares? Really, I don't.

[Dangerously Amused]

190. No, not weird at all. Smarter than me, is what.

I should follow your example, then maybe I wouldn't destroy/lose so many sunglasses. I've wrecked or lost so many over the years that I will no longer allow myself to pay more than a few dollars for a pair, and even then I try to get them at a dollar store whenever possible.


:hi:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

178. I'm a man and I never use the dual boob pocket, however...

The single boob pocket makes a nice iPod holder. It's easy access and a hell of a lot less likely to get banged against something or stolen up there.

[Dangerously Amused]

191. But your attention would be drawn EVEN MORE to a woman's boob(s)

...if she had an iPod or any other objects in her boob pocket(s), right?

[OnionPatch]

179. I love boob pockets!

That way, I don't have to wear a bra because my nipples won't show. :)

[Dangerously Amused]

192. I'm jealous.

I wish I could go braless!


:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

182. That is the ugliest shirt I've ever seen!

EWWW...How much were they selling it for? Because if it was for more than $2, I need to get into the fashion business. Freaks will buy anything!
Duckie

[Dangerously Amused]

193. Hey, that's my favorite shirt!

Kidding.


It was the first shirt I found when looking for an image to illustrate the OP.


Oh well.

[liontamer]

184. i do

i need pockets to store change, hold I.D cards, pens etc. I don't really care if they disrupt the line of my clothes if I'm at work. I wish more women's clothes had pockets. don't even get me started on pants that don't have them, especially the ones with fake seams that look like pockets. :grr:

[Dangerously Amused]

194. Maybe the problem is more singular to me.

I have a freakishly small waist. Therefore my shirts tend to fit toward the snug side in the chest area to make a better fit in the waist (otherwise too much fabric makes it look sloppy), so anything in the boob pockets would really stick out. No pun intended.

I agree though about fake pockets. What's more useless than a useless pocket? A FAKE useless pocket!



:hi:

[hedgehog]

185. Can one keep kudzu in boob pockets?

Just askin.

[Dangerously Amused]

195. I think that is a wonderful idea

...for anyone who wants to be engulfed in Kudzu by lunch break.

[samsingh]

186. i wouldn't mind using someone else' pockets

[Dangerously Amused]

196. Now there's an idea: Renta-BoobPocket.

Guys can rent out boob pocket space to ladies who don't want to keep stuff in their own.


Cool beans!

[Strawman]

187. Perhaps the brain trust that brought us "Hot Pockets"

Ever see that Jim Gaffigan bit? Kinda funny.

LOL!


Thanks!
