Uniform - cargo pockets on trousers

Post by ripio »

Just been on the Dimensions uniform website to order shoes but also noticed that the trousers and shorts look like they have gone back to only having a cargo pocket on the left leg rather than on both legs.

Anyone ordered trousers/shorts recently able to confirm this?
If so, one pocket on the left leg is pretty useless really!

I get trousers from Aldi. Plenty of pockets and they are actually shaped to fit a human. RM trousers are used as reserve.

Should be back to shorts soon. :nana

“Shorts,in this weather?!”

“If they’re bills I don’t want ‘em!”

“What’s she been ordering now?”

I've just received new shorts as my old ones were falling apart. The new ones are same as old and have pockets on both legs.

Thanks for the replies.
I emailed Dimensions and got a confusing and badly written reply eventually stating that the trousers have only one cargo pocket as shown in the photos on their website.
Two days later, I got another email from someone else at Dimensions stating that the first email was wrong and that the trousers still have two cargo pockets and that they will update the photos on their website to show this.

Both the pair of shorts and the pair of cargo trousers which I received about a month back had cargo pockets on each side.

Does it really matter whether they have one two or four pockets if they are made of tissue paper mine are in holes after two months Rico Back must have opened his wallet in the uniform stores!
