I measured a size 8 specimen of Gloria Vanderbilt Avery Slim Leg Pull On Stretch jeans. These pants are delightfully comfy in terms of their soft, stretchy material and I wear them often when it's cool out. However, the front pockets were rather lacking (rating: terrible). I could hold my keys in one pocket. I had to put both my wallet and my phone in the back two pockets. So, I could get away without carrying a bag, but I was always sitting on my phone and almost having it fall out if I bent or moved the wrong way. I ended up adding "pocket extenders" to fix things up to acceptable levels of pocket storage. They seem to be going out of season but I found
one version on amazon that matched the fabric content (cotton, polyester, and spandex) so would have the same comfy stretch.
Before I modified the pockets, front pockets were about 2 1/2" deep at the side seam and 4 1/2" deep at most. The width at the bottom is 5 3/4". The outer opening is 4 1/2" from rivet to rivet but curved. The right front also has a 2 1/4" wide coin pocket that is 2 3/4" deep.

The paler striped fabric are my pocket extenders. |

The tape measure crosses the small right coin pocket. There is no coin pocket on the left side. |
The back pockets (two) each measure: 5 1/4" deep at middle, 4 1/2" deep at sides, 4 3/4 to 5" wide at the opening (it varied), and about 4 1/2" wide at the base.
