Clothes without pockets is one of those things about being a girl which isn't necessarily oppression, but seriously annoy me. The relative lack of professional gear options for women in manual fields (e.g. chef pants, plumber pants, etc) sucks too. AND THEN I FOUND (see comments) WOOHOO!

My lengthy google hunts for "technical women's cargo pants" turned up these badass-named pants, like Taclite B-class, which I ultimately deduced were for lady cops. This sentence had me laughing for like 20 minutes: "Teflon® coated to repel stains, liquid, and soil, the Women's PDU Class B Taclite Cargo Pant features a professional flat front design with permanent military creases and an internal gripper panel to keep your shirt securely in place, ensuring a professional profile in any setting."

Teflon coating would actually be great for a kitchen, but it doesn't sound very comfortable, and I'm afraid the "military creases" would be confusing/frightening in the kitchen world. Also, tucking in my shirt? HAHAHAHAHA

Would these work? http://www.chefwear.com/women-s...

Girls are also born with what is known in Norway as the "plumber's pocket." I suspect health codes would bar you from utilizing that in your field, though.

Damn, nice, bentley... I dunno how I missed those. I'm still happier with scrubs, they have petite sizes so I don't have to have them tailored (and more pockets!).

Morgan, that's... interesting. It's always nice to learn more weird Norway facts!

I only know about ChefWear because there must be a culinary school near work. I see students wearing ChefWear pants (which very conveniently have the logo in a nicely visible spot).

I wore hospital-issue scrubs when I temped at the hospital in the early 90's. These you found look much nicer, sturdier, and have loads more pockets. I like.

I have no idea but Duluth trading for women might have something for you http://women.duluthtrading.com/

Don't dismiss the 511 Taclite pants. I'm a guy, but 511 stuff is really comfortable and extremely durable.

Sweet, Janet! This job requires t-shirts instead of chef coats, and I'm looking for 3/4 stuff to wear underneath as it's quite cold in the mornings.

David, good to know! I love all the awesome tips I get on FF :)

Second on the 511 stuff. My husband loves that brand.

I do really like the idea of pants with "Taclite" in the name :D
