> buy a vacation to Bangladesh or India, and go to one of the many fabric stores. They have people who can design and make literally make whatever clothes you want

Yes, clearly. That's a reasonable thing to suggest /s




If there is meaningful demand, the idea is worth quite a lot of money. Starting a business to capitalise on it is a reasonable suggestion. I know a girl who started her own underwear line, she'd be happy to do pants I'm sure.

The issue is that the meaningful demand is not there, or already filled and the market is just small. As nerdponx observed, it isn't really about pockets. There are 4 different other concerns that probably outrank pockets and that is just specific to his wife. And she might not even buy the things when she sees them. When I buy pants, I literally just buy a long pair of pants with the most and largest pockets. I dunno what the name for them is, tradesmen wear them. Cargo pants? They carry a lot of cargo. That in a nutshell is why male pants get pockets and womans pants don't.
