“This sit-down cross-seem single welt pocket (on the JeanJean from Mad mfg). It’s great because when you’re sitting down, getting into these [waist] pockets sucks on literally any type of pants. So with this side pocket, it’s just so much easier because your hands are already there.”

“I feel like sometimes people are chasing an aesthetic but not accounting for all the [theoretical] factors of it, and then haphazardly use it for a design.
