Okay, I agree and have a gripe of my own. About those once in a long time expensive purchase of a woman's jacket.
Price...ON SALE.
Color good. Check.
Flattering cut. Check.
Pattern, if any, in good taste. Check.
Inside pocket to repel pickpockets. NONE.
Men's good jackets always have these inside pockets for valuables. But women's jackets that cost as much or far more,
simply do NOT. When I want any in mine, I have to either match the lining for a patch pocket, which I feel is best, or put in a hanging pocket.
When are we going to get some designer who actually ASKS women what they want? Think that'll come in our life times?
