has anyone noticed that all recently presented cargo pants the pockets are on the left side.
i think the pockets should be on right side becuzzzzz most people are right handed. i would buy the pants AND use the pocket if it were on the right side.

I am amidextrous so I dont care what side they are on.  I just want straight or wide leg cargo's.

I love cargos and I'm right handed.  It doesn't make any difference to me what side the pockets are on.

Do you really put stuff in the pockets?   

 

(I don't like pockets in anything except outerwear.)

I'm not ambidextrous, but I agree.  Last pair of cargo pants I bought I couldn't even get on because the legs were too slim.  Then, every pair I looked at were also skinny legs.  I just bought wide leg pair, probably more wide leg than I would want, especially for my height, but I'm at least planning on wearing them with heeled booties, so that may help a little.  

 

Maybe if you could find Carpenter pants.  They usually have pockets on both sides I think.

I wish they'd leave the pocket off of pants legs.  They're useless.   I often see nice pair of pants, spot a pocket on them and move on to another style.  They limit versatility by making them too casual. 7

@Kachina624      Reminds me of the days when ELBOW PATCHES were "the thing".    They were halfway to MY WRIST.      di

@Icegoddess  I can't imagine how awful skinny legged cargo pants would look. I expect a certain look with cargos and skinny pants is not it!

I'm left handed, totally,  but the pocket placement on cargos doesn't matter to me.

@MoJoV Maybe not on you, but on my thick legs, these would be skinny cargos.  Took me less than 5 minutes to find them online:
