You can now buy trousers with a penis-shaped crotch pocket and nobody’s sure why
Fashion company, Gu, has released a new design for their popular Chinos and it’s got people talking, because of the oddly eye-catching feature at the front.
In case you aren’t sure you’re really seeing this:
Yes, there’s a pocket at the crotch.
Yes, it’s in contrasting colours so it stands out more.
Yes, it’s basically shaped like a penis.
All of which raises some important questions:
1. What would you keep in a crotch pocket: spare change, a pen, condoms?
2. How pervy would you look trying to get anything out of this pocket?
3. Most importantly, just why?
The trousers have had a mixed reaction.
“About time too. We men have been salivating for the return of the codpiece for about 400 years.”
“I achieve much the same effect at a significant saving by pulling my shirt out through the flies of my slacks. for a crowd stopping fashion statement, one should also allow a length of jauntily angled toilet paper to drape casually over the back of ones belt line. I have named it the Coq à Doodle Deux and assert copyright accordingly.”
“I think this design will appeal to dicks everywhere.”
Twitter user, Katherine Wells remarked
“My son put his shorts back on inside out after swimming at the weekend and we mocked him for his “elephant ear” pockets. Little did we know he’s an eight year old style guru.”
