I'm adding all of my newer pocketed purchases from the last year to the Spreadsheet of Pockets. I'm going to write up a bit of commentary on the latest entries (rows 2-7).
My favorite in these rows is the striped slim fit jeans I got from Duluth Trading Company. These were hearty pockets that I don't even want to modify. I bought a size that just barely fit (they were on clearance and the last size left that was close), but next time I need pants I will be looking at theirs.
Many Eddie Bauer pants happily have curvy fit versions that actually fit me without tailoring or gaping around the waist. This is a minor miracle. Yet, they still have merely decent pockets that leave me plotting to cut the bottoms off to add a deeper pocket bag. (But I'm lazy, so it hasn't happened yet.) Yeah, they're sort of slacks, but one pair was TRAVEL pants. It's baffling to me that an ostensibly outdoorsy company can't make their travel pants have fully satisfying pockets. They just need a few more inches in the pocket bag to be as good as the Duluth Trading Co. jeans. Oh well!
Old Navy Pixie Pants I probably wouldn't have tried but I needed yellow slim pants for a Halloween costume. They also happened to have a linen version on sale so I bought that too as I have found every linen thing I've bought to be so nice and cool for biking and gardening and existing outside. The pockets are awful and all need modification. (The linen was great, though, and will be a favorite once I fix the pockets.) The end.
