Introduction
I bought these Clothing Arts Pick Pocket proof business pants off of a tip of a reader a while back (almost a year ago.) I finally got around to wearing them, but because I had lost weight since then, they were a bit big. I’ll try to review them despite that issue. The purpose of these pants is that they are supposed to be pick-pocket proof. That means the front pockets have a zipper on the outside and then inside, it has 2 compartments. One compartment is wide open (say your phone) and the 2nd compartment has a vertical velcro strip (maybe put cash in that one.) Then there is a 3rd compartment from the wide open compartment that has a horizontal zipper that I believe has enough room for credit cards.
Wearing them
Even before they were too big for me, I felt the legs were too “baggy” meaning they aren’t the slim fit tapered kind. That’s a personal preference on how you like your pants. I also didn’t love the material; it just feels like cheap cotton (maybe I’ve been spoiled with all of Lululemon’s synthetic fabrics.) I did love the zipper pockets and there were a few times I used the velcro compartment. I never used the inside zipper compartment. I liked the zipper back pockets as well. Overall, while I liked the pants for it’s anti-theft pockets, I don’t see myself wearing them that often. I think if they used a better material and made them tapered, then they’d be the best travel pants.
I agree. that was pretty much my take on them. they are already uncomfortable due to the material, can’t imagine how a tapered leg would feel. I would only wear them if I thought it was a high pick pocket area (soccer game, concert, market in a shady country)
Glad I’m not the only one.
I can’t find my original email and we’ve packed the pants away already, but I swear mine were polyester or another synthetic material. I can’t even remember the last time I wore cotton pants since everything is quick dry or breathable thanks to living on the surface of the sun, AKA Texas.
