Pocket Blowout (updated)

I'd been noticing a lot of front-pocket blowouts on the superfuture denim forum... just like on my Samurai-Geishas.

Here are some stolen pic examples which I don't have permission to post (post a comment if you want me to remove your stolen picture).

Admittedly my own pocket blowout was partly caused by my keys, but the common occurrence made me think there could be a design flaw.

Anyway, I noticed that my Japanese Evisu's actually have some substantial re-inforcing sewn to the inside of the front pockets. It's quite strong without being annoying.



I had a quick look at some of my other denim for something similar. Most have no protective strip. Nudie & China Evisu have an additional strip of pocket lining, but it's quite thin compared to the Evisu version. Nice functional detail Evisu!

Anonymous has posted a comment that WeSC jeans do have protective strips on the front pockets.

These WeSCs I just got have reinforced pockets, as well. They are a women's
28 in Raw Selvage.

Thanks for the comments and pictures Anon.

I'll update this post as I find more jeans with protection.
