unless you mean horizontal and then upwards

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.

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.

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.

From MSNBC, a fairly extensive guide to spring movies: [link]

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.

Does the vertical opening pocket catch much?

Yeah, sometimes.

The most annoying thing for me about such pockets is that twice I've had my wallet fall out of my front pocket while at a movie theater - both times I was wearing pants with the nearly vertical opening....

Someday I will remember that ankle-length skirts with lace trim on the hem should not be worn with the boots that have speed-lacing hooks. Someday I will remember this when I am getting dressed in the morning, not when I have managed to hobble myself while walking down the hallway.
