Fergie Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Why do some companies put those irritating small pockets inside the pants pocket. I realize they are supposed to be for a ball marker, however they are nothing but a pain. Interested to hear other views.

RickyBobby_PR Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 They are used to give pants the casual look since that pocket isn’t part of dress pants Rob Person 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkeleybob Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 In suit/dress pants, I took them to be originally for change so it won’t jingle while walking. If it’s the same in golf pants and a single marker, well, yeah, that would be annoying, since it’s not convenient to fish it out. I imagine tees can get stuck in them as well, which may or may not be a good thing.

GolfSpy_APH Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I don't think I have ever used that little pocket, but am also not fussed by it either. Kinda is what it is for me and anytime I have ever put something in that little pocked I normally forget about it till it comes out in the wash.

Rob Person Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Very annoying indeed! I've stabbed my thigh reaching in for a tee thay got lodged in it once. While inconvenient, i had to take some needle and thread and flip the pocket out and sew it shut More annoying is when they sew the spare button to the bottom of the pocket! Always feels like something is in the pocket!

It was kept as part of the design to protect the integrity of the initial design. It’s been a part of fashion for along time because pretty much every Jean company kept it. Its not something found in dress pants/suits because there is a pocket in the jacket for a pocket watch. the interesting part is Levi has or had a patent on the pocket Hook DeLoft, VernL4, Hacker60521 and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the past I have had dress pants with a small pocket sewn on at the bottom inside a regular pants pocket. My suit pants were pleated and roomy in the front, so I just assumed the pocket was there to stop change from jingling. I remember them because I used to slide my hand in the pocket and get one of my fingers caught up in it.

Shapotomous Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I hate those inside little pockets because a tee will at some point get caught in it with the pointy side up. And it will stab under my fingernail when i reach my hand in.

arodrig29 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 lol…this is a great thread. I use that funny little pocket to house the hands free key for my wife’s car.

PrismFlopper Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I love the small pocket for tees or ball marker/ turf fork. I hate them jingling around in my pockets. funkyjudge 1 Quote Been playing for about 2 years in total. Winter breaks and a 6month period when I got sick. Starting to feel like myself again and recently played a “okay” round. I currently have custom fit Cobra LTDx irons/wedges, a Vokey 60(cause my short game has been the best part of my game, and a Maverick 9 deg. Driver. Driving is the worst part of my game so My 4 iron usually takes alot of the long game abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckpillar Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Those pockets are useless, if you do put anything in there you have a hell of a time trying to get it back out no matter what it is. Just eliminate the darn thing. What about the pants or shorts with the regular pockets being way to short, no depth, you sit down and things just start falling out. UGH!!

gavinski91 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Bigger issue for me is how some golf pants/shorts have mesh pockets. Nothing like reaching into your pocket for your ball mark repair tool and it's tangled in the pocket material.
