Sew your own

There's a ton of tutorials on YT, and a basic sewing machine is like $80

(Not to say that women's pants shouldn't have decent pockets, just that you're not forced to deal with them)

    While true, it's hardly fair that I, as a man, don't need to learn to sew, buy a sewing machine , spend time getting materials or actually doing the sewing in order to have good pockets. My pants just come with good pockets.

    Yes, but men's clothes come with the other issues, too. I just started sewing my own pants because I couldn't find a pair that was in the right spot between good fit and style, affordability, quality and not being made under exploitive labour conditions.

    While that's certainly true, I don't think that doesn't apply to women's clothing as well nor does it change that women's clothing not having pockets is kinda bullshit, even though you can technically add your own after the fact.
    It would be more of a "yes, but..." Situation if women's clothing that didn't have pockets always fit perfectly and hit all the criteria you mentioned. They have that problem and they don't get pockets.
