My sister, who works in a warehouse, asked me why all my designs were for people who sit down all day.

She pointed out that her work pants need deep pockets that actually close and fabric that can handle kneeling on concrete, which made me realize I've been designing for an office world that doesn't exist for a lot of people.

But honestly, is that a design problem or just how clothes work? Most workwear brands already make tough pants with good pockets. It just sounds like your sister shops in the wrong section.

Yeah @umaanderson, my cousin's a mechanic and he's always complaining about that exact thing with his work pants too lol.

You said 'most workwear brands already make tough pants with good pockets,' but honestly a lot of those brands miss the mark on keeping pockets closed or making fabric flexible enough for kneeling. It's not just about shopping in the right section, it's about designs actually working for real jobs.
