I have lots of brands of jeans. The ones I reach for the most are the gloria Vanderbilt, Amanda style and the Lees. I love the stretch they put into jeans these days. Saves my back from going out on me. I feel your pain losing a favorite pair. Both have decent pocket depth.

Yes, I love those too!! And I can relate to the cutting off clothes in the ER, I lost my favorite T-shirt that way after a car wreck - it was hand-painted with a smiley-face sun and palm trees.

ETA- I think stretch denim is one of the great inventions of the era!!

I would love to wear Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. But my body has too many hips in relation to waist and sadly not for me. Not without trying.
almost a funny story now a few years later and she is mostly fine but a quilting friend was in a very serious wreck with a lot of serious injuries and we heard later that she was able to say to the ambulance people "don't cut my bra off- it is new". It came from liviraelingerie.com which was featured a bunch of years ago on lifetime on the show Double Divas. It is very close to me but I have yet to go. They can make a bra for anyone and on the show made a contraption for a goat who was stepping on her own udder.

My mother was taken to the ER because she fell and broke her hip. She's telling the nurse to not cut her pants off because they were her favorite.

As for men's pants with deep pockets, just remember they also buy pants according to waist and length. And, they buy dress shirts according to neck and sleeve length. We women have to take what's there.

When I find a piece of clothing or shoes I want to wear all the time I buy all I can of it, same color or not. I am set for clothes, shoes, and underwear for life. I don't have to go shopping anymore unless I want to. I have one funeral outfit, one dressy outfit, and one nice dress coat.
