Poll - back pockets on suit pants: yes or no?

[George]

Personally I never have them, as I wouldn't store anything in them anyway. I have no problems with others having them. however.

 

[vin19]

who would prefer one pocket over two?

 

[ajv]

I prefer just one, one the right side as I am right handed......

Frankly, I never gave it much thought till I came across an older post from Will:

Academe pretty much captures my current thinking:

Where the hell did this bs come from? My off-Row tailor (Mahon) has always discouraged back pockets for suit trousers (in-line with my own preference), and I know that it is common for SR bespoke trousers to be made without back pockets...

Great episode! I think that settles it; no back pockets means, in the world of Darrell and Pam, a woman's suit. May be a different story in the world of SR.
