I enjoy the pocket so much I still have a few protectors around for those cheap, leaky pens I steal from restaurants and hotels. No flaps. No buttons. Free the Pocket!

Shirt pockets are vital, but pants pockets, in a pinch, can hold pens and business cards.

T-shirts with pockets are a somewhat-useless oddity.

I must say that I never saw the point of shirt pockets, but what did I know. I like shirt collars with buttons. Fifty years ago (my god, I'm old), I remember vests were mandatory. How I hated them!

Two breast pockets are mandatory in my wardrobe.

My hubby agrees. He'll pay extra just to have a shirt pocket.

Those were the days. What I noticed, too, is that nobody carries pens anymore. They write on these little things with their thumbs. If they write anything at all.
