This might be fairly common knowledge, but I know I was shocked and appalled when I learned it, so I thought I’d share it with tumblr at large: sometimes those fake pockets… aren’t actually fake!

Now, obviously this isn’t a universal rule, but for certain garments, like blazers and dress pants, the pockets DO exist, they’re just stitched closed so that they look better on the hanger in the store. Which I personally think is a stupid reason, but that’s what we’re dealing with.

So say you have this stupid fake pocket:

First, check inside the garment for the pocket bag. This will show you if there actually is a pocket there, or if it’s just a decorative placket, in which case you’re doomed to suffer.

(If the garment has a lining sometimes you won’t be able to find the pocket bag because it’s between the lining and the body fabric. Use your best judgment for if you’re willing to try to find a pocket that may or may not be there)

Great! You definitely have a pocket. Now take a seam ripper (or a pair of scissors you know you can be accurate with) and find the stitches holding the pocket opening closed. Usually they’re easiest to get at if you go into the opening as if to put something in the pocket.

Now break that thread.

Look! An opening!

Carefully do that along the entire pocket, pull out the broken threads, and you have yourself a real pocket!

(It might still be pitifully small, but it is in fact a pocket)

For a more impressive result, check out this blazer:

No pocket

And now my whole hand fits!

I don't know who needs to hear this but air dry your band shirts/graphic tees on a towel to preserve the applique for longer, the dryer will make it crack

(Unless the weathered look is your thing ;)
