The 500-year history of the pocket
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ม.ค. 2021
- Pockets hold a fascinating history, and if you dig down deeply enough, you may discover how, over the course of centuries, the humble pocket has carried the secrets and desires of men (and, eventually, women). Correspondent Faith Salie looks at how this fashionable clothing component continues to evolve.

I feel so validated by this story! Thank you so much CBS, I’ve been feeling this way my whole life. I hate carrying a bag and so wish more women’s clothes had real, functional pockets. I still remember the deep feeling of gratitude I got with the first dress I tried on with pockets in it.
When my wedding gown was being made my mother had pockets sewn in so I wouldn’t have to carry a satchel for the envelopes. She thought that was gauche 😂
I have watched almost every episode of CBS Sunday Morning since the 1980's. I have to say that this segment has moved into my top 5 favorite segments of all time.
SAME! Exactly! I was about to write the same exact comment!
I was sold once she put that bottle of wine in her pocket
Right like where can I get one LOL
Nice 👍
When I sewed my own clothing I always added pockets. Bravo.
Yes, always love big pockets. Especially since covid I've stopped using a purse
Speaking as a woman who is also a seamstress, pockets just make sense. Pockets are just a handy thing to have! Even a pair of my jams have pockets!
I always wondered why Pajamas had pockets. But my father always carried a handkerchief.
What a great story! I have been complaining for years! Try putting a cell phone in a 3-4" pocket. And fake pockets?!? Hate it. I will definitely check out Julie Siegel.
thanks for catching the name and adding it to your comment, I will look her up!
Im constantly complaining about the lack of pockets. And deep enough pockets. So happy to know Im not alone! And happy for the explanation.
Suddenly explains why I was so glad to get unisex scrub pants with cargo pockets years ago. Thinking back women's scrubs besides being too short for my 36 in inseam,had goofy pockets that never accommodated ET tubes and surfactant when moving fast and bandage scissors could wedge into the bottom making them a fight to get out.
That's crazy. Scrubs are nothing but utilitarian, so why make them impractical? 🙄
What a interesting history! You've done it again CBS. Thanks
Finally! I was hoping someone would start taking women’s pockets seriously. I wear men’s clothes specifically for pockets. Or alter my clothes to add better pockets!
I do the same thing. It felt unfair that womens' jean or dress pant pockets were so shallow.
@@celestine1964 Even the back patch pockets are shallow. So annoying.
You have to carry a purse everywhere because you don’t have pockets! I hate it! All I needed is my keys, my wallet and my cellphone - the exact same thing that a man carries in his pockets!
I am on a constant quest for pockets! So much so I have a long list of friends who sent me this video!
It is so hard to find decent pockets, and most dresses w/ pockets are not useful, so when I find a decent pocket, I buy the clothing. Great piece, thanks for the "herstory" lesson
500 year old for pockets
I Love my pockets
Not only to warn my hands
But also to carry personal belongs.
This is a Great history to know about
Thank You CBS ☀
Warrior or nobleman, Hands in pockets is the ultimate statement of authority and power, signaling that the individual had such control over the situation that he could take the stance of possibly holding a concealed weapon in his pocketed hand ( dagger or pistol) and no one around him could challenge that. There is a reason why soldiers and police alike take down suspects with hands out of your pockets!
Weird, my father always said that hands in pockets was a sign of poor manners. Like wearing a hat indoors!
About time. Yes. To the dress with deep pockets and the slacks even better
Amazing! I lost $$$ out of my skimpy jean’s pocket. My cell phone doesn’t feel secure in some pockets. And those FAKE pockets. The metaphor of “deep pockets” meaning they must have money. Love this story, and RISD!
It was many years ago at a science fiction convention, one writer (can't remember who) told of the time he and his wife were caught in the rain. When they got home, they changed into dry clothes, and he put on a pair of his wife's trousers. He was surprised to discover how shallow the pockets were. It was as if they were living in 2 separate worlds.
Faith Salie’s the best for covering this entire segment on women’s clothing and pockets.
Shallow jeans pockets infuriate me! I had to resort to using the purselett "coin purse/ID, zipper pouch", you women know- that added accessory that comes with some leather purses that snap onto a loop inside your purse, - as my wallet and using the spring snap, I end up clipping to my pants belt loop to keep it from falling out of those shallow pockets when I sit down! Many times I'm not bothered to carry a purse preferring to have only the essential ID, a credit/ debit card, a little cash in a zippered card carrier and can't find pockets in pants, jeans or even a outerwear jacket that will hold such a small wallet without falling out. In buying coats, jackets, lightweight or heavier winter I look for at least one zippered pocket or "cellphone pocket" with zipper that keeps shallow pockets from spilling their contents and as added security from theft for wallets that end up half sticking out!
I love when I've been wearing a garment for years and suddenly I discover the pockets.
Love it.
This is why I love cargo-type pants. All broken out in pockets, some of them large enough to carry a lunchbox.
When I was in my teens and twenties, the (male-dominated) medical community was all up in arms over the epidemic of scoliosis in girls and young women. Nobody knew what caused it.
I can tell you what caused it. When I entered second grade, I was given a purse (handbag) with a shoulder strap. Which I carried on my right shoulder throughout my developmental years. Imagine, carrying a bag full of crap dragging down one shoulder for all the time your bones are growing.
I flunked a scoliosis screening at the age of 14. The only help I got was being told "you need to learn to stand up straight."
50 years later, I've had a lifetime of pain and problems because my spine is curved and rotated, and my right shoulder is lower than the left.
NO MORE PURSES!
MORE AND BETTER POCKETS FOR WOMEN!!!!
Oh my gosh! I love you guys. How do you make something like pockets so interesting?? It was the first story I went to because I just had to see how you would frame it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Women deserve pocket equality!
Even wedding gowns finally have pockets!
That’s so funny you mentioned that! Just told the story of my own having them, 25 years ago 😂
Amen! When I was a grocery manager back in the 90’s I complained constantly about not being able to get pants with deep pockets. 👏👏👏
YES, YES, YES! I finally found a brand of pants that fit me so I don't have to have them shortened, only to find that the pockets were so shallow as to be useless. I NEED useful pockets, so I returned the pants.
The weirdest place not to have pockets: pajamas. I buy men's pajama pants. It's hard to find clothing with pockets. Places like Lands' End got fashion and started eliminating them. "One hidden pocket" that holds a credit card is ridiculous.
Can I ask, what do you put in PJs pockets?
Started wearing mens jeans as a teenager . Because they have
POCKETS.
It’s amazing that you can make a 6 minute video on pockets that is completely devoid of useful information about pockets.
I found a company from South Korea, Mordenmiss, which puts pockets in all of their women’s clothing! Finally.....♥️♥️♥️
This was quite interesting.
I'm a guy. I wear overalls mostly, and definitely when I work. Too much stuff in your pockets and it's hard to keep your jeans up. I'd like to see a segment about overalls!
I think pockets are one of the greatest inventions ever made!! It's weird that women have missed out on having functional pockets in their clothes. It's also weird that men carrying bags isn't normal in America. Who doesn't like to have places to carry stuff? Why do we create these strange social constructs...I just don't understand.
Pocket are so shallow on alot of pants today.
I feel deep pockets are beneficial for certain issues.
I never put my wallets in my rear pockets.
The worst experience is finding an otherwise awesome pair of jeans and the pockets are not actually there. They are a possibility for fun, not the actuality of it.
I don't know any man that goes to work without a bag. Men don't have the option of a purse hence the need for deep pockets. You could argue that the inequality goes both ways.
When I get pants I need to have pockets in them . Its hard for me not have pockets in my pants or jeans
Dresses too. When I find a dress with pockets it’s a gem to treasure.
Where is Julie Siegel! I can't find her or her business online :( Love the segment, I've been saying the same thing forever.
This is a great segment and it reminds me of a film clip song on Sesame Street; a woman singing a song about the importance of Pockets with a film of different types of pockets and women doing different things with them.. I had a school teacher in middle school or high school and she said she wouldn't have any blazer jacket, pants, skirt or dress if it had faux pockets, shallow pockets, or didn't have pockets including her night dress or pajamas. All of her clothes had really deep pockets, she always wore long sleeve tops, had short hair, wore a big watch with a thick black leather or silicone strap and she always had her hands in her pockets when she was walking around or standing talking to someone or looking around. She didn't carry a handbag 👜. Her keys and her wallet were always in her pockets as well as other things including her sunglasses and a pair of black leather gloves. It wasn't unusual for her to take her gloves out of her pocket and put them on when it was the end of the school day. She always wore her gloves when driving her car and I seen her at a store and she had them on. I stayed after school with her once and she put them on. When she took something out of her pocket or put something in her pocket she'd sometimes sing,"There are pockets that are magic." Once she said,"I'll put my hands in my pockets. That's what they're for. I'm a pocket girl and I love my pockets." I actually liked looking at her when she was putting her hands in her pockets and when she had her hands in her pockets. One day when she and I were standing talking she noticed that I was looking at her hands in her pockets and she said,"What are you looking at? Oh cause my hands are in my pockets?" I said yes and she noticed that I was wearing corduroy pull on pants with elastic waist and two side pockets. My hands were at my sides. She said,"Now you put your hands in your pockets. That's what they're for." So of course I did and while I was putting my hands in my pockets she sang,"What would we do without pockets? Pockets are perfectly fine." She sang that sometimes when she put her hands in her pockets. Obviously she has seen that film clip song Pockets on Sesame Street. After I put my hands in my pockets she said to me,"Sometimes you need a place to put your hands in. Just think what do I do with my hands? I put them in my pockets. It feels comfortable and secure when you have your hands in your pockets."
I love pockets. I’m 78 & rarely in the clothing I lean too have pockets, so I’m on a constant search. No pockets No buy!!
Pockets are so important! It's horrible that as women we literally carry bag(gage) around with us wherever we go.
JJ N ... yeah I love pockets ... they make such a cool difference .
Lol, "Do you have hand sanitizer?" Wrong Century! 🤣
Yas!!!! Why does my toddler son have more functional pockets than I do.
Especially in a pandemic where you want to protect the things you have to carry but not bring more than you need.
How can I hand sanitize when I have to hold my phone and keys???
It always cracked my up that babies clothes had pockets. What are they putting in them? 😂
All women say: give us real pockets!
You can also play pool with them.
Really cool
That bottle of wine would also make a great weapon! :) I have 2 pair of pants that have no pockets in the front. So irritating. And what’s with pockets that are stitched shut? If there’s going to be a pocket I want to be able to use it. If it’s going to be stitched shut you might as well not even have it.
And then we have cargo pants. Turns out "too much of a good thing" applies to pockets too.
I can't count the times when I was looking to buy new clothes and I could never find some with pockets. I took to making my own clothes and would alter the patterns to include pockets. Hooray for people noticing the problem! Another gold star for feminism....
say pockets one more time lol
An information I never knew I needed.
This is a ridiculous and unacceptable state of affairs. Women's clothing should have some damn useable pockets! Not those sewn shut faux pockets, or the tiny, pitiful-excuse-for-a-pocket things much of the clothing has. And men should be able to carry a bag around without getting strange looks, too! It's just a way to carry around the million and one gadgets we have to keep with us these days. I won't buy a garment that doesn't have plenty of useful pockets (obviously, they aren't all created equal), but I'm a spoiled man. It always makes me mad when my girlfriend's clothing has tiny, useless pockets because I end up carrying all her stuff if I'm around, or she just loses things all the time when she tries to use her's.
Fascinating 😄
Lmao her reaching for the seamstress' pocket after she stashes the wine is top tier feminism
I got rabbit ears in my pockets;)
I agree that no pockets is very frustrating but I love handbags and as a mother I carry so much it wouldn't make sense to put things in pockets. But it does signal a gender divide
Pocket inequality?? Haha god it never ends.
lol
Spoken like someone who’s always had pockets.
@@juliej5917 I only used pockets because I was so harshly judged for wanting to carry a purse all my life.
@@caliboy8740 It takes courage to go against social norms, but guys and bags is no big deal... at least where I live. I HATE to carry a bag/purse/pocketbook. I leave belongings everywhere. Go buy yourself what you want to carry, and tell ppl you’re holding it for me.
Yo, the pocket lore!
uh. why was this recommended to me??? youtube??? you know what... nevermind... do your thing...
Wait a minute ! As a man, I too want to carry a bottle of Merlot in my pants. But, for us this might suggest a promise I can't live up to. Dawn it !
How I reach here???
I moved to Turkey 🇹🇷 and discovered the men’s pockets are very small here.
No, the pocket did NOT start in Europe.
Always my major complaint about women’s clothes.....pockets are a joke....big enough for Bobbi pins!
No pockets in those "pants" girls wear now. In my day (sounds old doesn't it), those things were called "tights" and they were worn under dresses, skirts or real "pants".
Frivolous....I miss Charles Kuralt.
I loved Charles Kuralt, too. But frivolous? Kuralt might have done this story, as well. This is a story about life and how we live it.
I like knowing the history of pockets.
Marc ... not frivolous at all I miss him so much I remember when this show first aired all those years ago and it just would be wonderful if we could turn back the clock a little bit and have him be here
This video was outta pocket
i guess as a woman i dont understand the concept of buying things without pockets and then complaining that they dont have pockets. if womens clothes dont have pockets and women wants pockets the easy solution is to not buy things that dont have the pockets you want. not that hard. everything i buy to wear has pockets and lots of them because i like pockets. #chooseyourfuture
next episode: why women should wear a necktie like men in the workplace.
Oh good grief, these are not MY sentiments. I am vain. I thought when women's clothes were designed without pickets, that it was to preserve the silhouette. And as far as I am concerned, if some event is a big deal, and I want to look my slimmest and smoothest, I do NOT want pockets!
So women designers can design whatever they want for themselves and their clients. No evil patriarchy here!
But women can't play "pocket pool"...
Wish Chanel makes much more cheper bags that every woman could afford instead of pockets in the clothing.
Black People: We demand equality and justice, and for the unjust cop killings of our brothers and sisters to stop.
Karens: We demand pockets.
I agree that they aren't equivalent. Suffragettes had big pockets. Think of all you can carry around to a protest. Anywhere in life, a purse can be a safety issue-a crime of opportunity when on your person, hanging on a bathroom door hook, on a chair, etc. Then there are all the places where you're not allowed to carry a bag.
Women complain about not having pockets when they carry purses which hold way more stuff
TH-cam User ... but that's one of the main reasons women first started having to carry purses in the first place is because we didn't have decent pockets .
Also I always feel more vulnerable that a thief could just come flying by me and grab my purse then I do when I have my more important things in my pockets .
Yeah, try to find pajama pants or nightgowns for women, with pockets. HA! Lots of luck.
Leggings are not pants.
It’s 2021, the still make women’s pants with fake pockets 🤔
They do. It's infuriating!
Misleading title. Stupid story.
Women carry purses!
Fake pockets drive me mad! It’s deeply insulting and yes, oppressive.
These gals hate each other, I love it.
Hay Abby Cox 😉
Wtf
Seriously? If you "need" pockets to feel valued and powerful, you're not really valuable and powerful. Those qualities come from within.
I promise.. this vileness of men about any and everything is tiring. Can’t even be proud to be a man cause that’s to much for women.. even when talking about a pocket. A man is always at fault smh.
This show is pointless CBS Sunday Morning that is!
This is a man 5:44
I’ve see probably a dozen articles, videos, and podcasts that talk about pocket disparate, but not one of them makes any attempt to explain why, beyond a the undocumented claim of misogynistic oppression. I want someone to find some kind of documentation explaining why someone is putting smaller pockets on women’s clothing. Talk to modern fashion designers and ask them why they don’t put pockets on women’s clothing, despite an apparent demand.
You talk about a hundred years of concern around this issue. A hundred years that have seen the enormous revolutions in women’s fashion, to the point where in many US cities it’s now acceptable for a woman to walk down the street wearing anything from men’s white tie tuxedo and tails, to literally nothing more than a G-string thong and a smile. But the one aspect of oppression the patriarchy is holding onto is the relevant size of pockets?
Do your job as a reporter and discover the documentable reasons pockets are smaller on women’s clothing, not just the baseless assumptions you’ve been told by activists.
For Christ sake, you have to at least explain why women who MADE THEIR OWN CLOTHING weren’t putting in pockets!?!
Jeez. This video wasn't a dissertation on pockets in women's clothing--it was a CBS "Sunday Morning" human interest bit. Do your own in-depth research, if pockets interest you that much..
Little or no pockets creates a sleek and slim line with no bumpy interruptions. Women like to look sleek. Its fashionable to look sleek. Hence, no pockets. Big back pockets on women's jeans can deform their butts so they look flat, not round. Vanity...
@@silverforest4682 That is, essentially, the answer, but you'll never see a reporter come out and say it.
First
The graceful quicksand perceptually puncture because beer admittedly dam above a giddy aunt. dynamic, massive mountain
So this is what we get now Bidens president
Well, you can't have an insurrection every day.
Peace, harmony, and silly discussions on pockets. I'll take Biden any day.
Supreme leader job killer joebiden is tanking the stock market. I don't want to loose my 401k. Why is joebiden taking the hedge fund side instead of the little guy from Scranton? Ask Jen. She shouldn't need to circle back around on that question.
My 401k is just fine! You need to look at your investments...
