Jeans with fancy pockets

11 replies

Motorina · 16/02/2022 13:39

When I was in my 20s, I had a pair of jeans with very fancy embroidery on the pockets. White and gold thread, and spangles. I probably got them from New Look. In my head I associated them with America, and with cowboys, and with all that is cool.

I loved those jeans.

I am, uhhh, significantly older now. But still fancy a pair of fancy pocket jeans. Size 12, boot cut ideally...

I have no idea where to begin to look.

Any suggestions, please?

do a search on sparkle ppocket jeans or similar

Motorina · 16/02/2022 14:02

@KirstenBlest I did that, and first hit was an article saying no woman over 21 should EVER wear them.

(Don't care. Want a pair.)

Thankyou though.

I saw some in a charity shop a few weeks ago and they were designer ones. I was tempted but I'm not really a sparkly sort of person

What's age got to do with it? I'm definitely not under 20 but it doesn't stop me wearing what I like. Mutton dressed as baby lamb?

From a quick search on Vinted

I bet there are loads of vintage ones on there.

You could find a local seamstress or embroiderer and get them to do whatever design you fancy?

Motorina · 16/02/2022 17:15

@KirstenBlest exactly! I'm reasonably sure I will look like a plump and aging rock chick, but who cares? I want them!

@evilharpy not found anything like in my head yet, but will keep looking, thank you.

Etsy sells lots of hand-embellished style denim stuff.

@bluepeacock thank you - that would never have occurred to me.

I'm really rather liking these: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1147880327/womens-straight-leg-jeans-stretch-dark?click_key=4912c3c1e8ef0d823ac2c2e7cd6d8da7aac96552%3A1147880327&click_sum=8147e13c&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=embroidered+jeans&ref=sr_gallery-3-13&organic_search_click=1&frs=1 They're close to what's in my head, but sufficiently subtle for middle aged me to actually wear them. And not so expensive I'll be gutted if I don't.

@Easterbunnyiswindowshopping Jesus needs pockets. It's where he keeps the loaves and fishes.

Joe browns has some I think

I pressed buy on the etsy jeans. Haven't been so excited about waiting for a parcel to come in years :)

Thank you, @Bohemianwannabe - will go look now.
