I feel sorry for women who don't have pockets

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
But you know when you finally have to wash your pants because the spaghetti sauce is getting noticable from afar and you go to pull all the stuff out and it takes up your whole desk then you put on some other pants and only put half the stuff back in because you didn't need half that crap anyways? What we all need is detachable pockets. Make a bag, slap some Velcro on the back, maybe a shoulder strap, a zipper, a pattern with some letters signaling the pedigree of the item. It would be revolutionary! You could make big ones with straps for your back, small ones for your waist with a classic pastel swoosh, idk. For real though those modular cargo pants that turn into shorts, I would most definitely buy three pairs of those with zip off pockets just so I don't have to do the stuff shuffle all the time. Plus you could actually make specialized pockets. Insulated food pocket, anti static electronics pocket, mesh pocket for ... Idk the beach or something? Vacuum sealed pocket, hamster pocket, tater tots pocket... The possibilities are endlesS :P
They're called belt pouches and were the shit in medieval times. They came in all shapes and sizes, some very specific designs, some more general, for all kinds of ourposes. There were even belt-books and coin purses. I mean, the T-shirt brought back the tunic, so why not let's all switch back to long but airy robes and a belt with two pouches?
Adding to this, for a very long time in history, women's pockets were a seperate garment and all long skirts and dresses would simply have slits so you could access them, you basically wore two bags left and right on a seperate belt under your clothes.
This is actually what I want for travelling!
Welp, time to buy a sewing machine, because the scene making that stuff in a sufficient quality is small and costly.
I have a sewing machine! I just haven't used it in about 20 years...
Here’s a guide!

Ohhh I love this! Saved, thank you. Not that I'll ever get around to doing this, but when I show my friends they'll think I'm cool AF. Maybe I will get around to it though.
I've been doing belt pouches for years and am a big fan
As long as I don't have to wear hose.
No, pantaloons will be all but forbidden in my ideal utopia
