Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

'Cuz the tops of the pockets tend to be cut at an angle, as opposed to horizontal for jeans and what-not.

The pockets of my jeans are cut on a curve, I think. The pair of pants I'm wearing now have the pockets on an angle. I can't visualise the horizontal, unless you mean horizontal and then upwards (to connect with the waistband).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Of all the weird clumsinesses.

I know someone who broke his ankle taking off his underware. so embarrassing for him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh yeah, the jeans I'm wearing now have that.

Some dress pants have the pocket top closer to vertical than horizontal. Also, I think dress pants have looser pockets, which maybe do stick out more.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It must be noted that Kalshane is football player sized and not built to door-scale

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but since there hasn't been a drastic change in my size or the size of doorframes in the last 10 years, one would think I'd have adapted by now.

I have this weird thing where I catch the pockets of dress pants on the arms of work chairs or door handles. I don't get it either, but the pants-selling industry is happy.

I've done this before. Happened once with a brand new pair of pants, too. Was not happy. I've also managed to catch the the opening on my sleaves just below the cuff on numerous objects, alternately ripping the shirt or sending the button flying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I catch my backpack straps on door handles all the time, and the other day I caught my sweater on two different screws sticking out of two different walls.

But that was not my point in posting. Nilly! I just talked to someone on the phone named Nily! But she pronounced it like you do. Fun.

I have a pair of wide-leg dress pants and I keep managing to trip on them.

Tripping on skirts on stairs -- I do that a fair amount, because I never remember that the skirts will do that until I reach the stairs -- they're fine on level ground.

I just ogled mens' pockets on the way back from the microwave. So many variations! Does the vertical opening pocket catch much?

I have a pair of cargo pants with velcro on the pocket flaps, and strange things are constantly getting stuck to the velcro (and my butt.) Once I almost walked out a store with a pair of socks attached to my ass.

I ruined a nice leather jacket by bounding up a flight of stairs and catching one of the belt loops on the handrail. Tore a huge rip up that side of the jacket.
