Line 11:
== [[Comics]] ==
* This was quite common in [[Silver Age]] superhero costumes to the point where [[The Tick (animation)]]'s mind was blown when he discovered he had them (he wasn't even concerned about the huge roll of cash he produced from one of them).
** [[Silver Age]] [[Superman]]'s cape contained a hidden pocket where he keeps his (compressed-by-his-super-strength-somehow) Clark Kent clothes.
Line 22:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* [[Word of God]] is that the creator of ''[[Babylon 5]]'' made sure the uniforms had visual pockets as this trope has always [[It Just Bugs Me|bugged him]].
** However, one episode featured a pickpocket stealing a pouch hanging from a person's belt in a market, which would have been a lot more at home in the Middle Ages, as would the method of the theft (literal cutpursing).
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the ''[[Crusade]]'' spin-off, when a clothing designer comes aboard the ''[[Cool Starship|Excalibur]]'' to make new uniforms for the senior officers. [[The Captain|Gideon]] complains that these uniforms lack pockets, to which the designer replies that a captain shouldn't have to carry things around. There are subordinates for that.
* ''[[Star Trek]]'': The actors, at least, [[Fridge Logic|have wondered]] about this very impractical lack of pockets (sure, most of the time they're only carrying around their phasers, and the science officer gets a Tricorder, but still).
Line 44:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Averted in [[Mass Effect]]. While there's not really visible pockets, Tali mentions that her exosuit has "more pockets than you'd think", apparently with sufficient space to allow her to cart around a significant amount of geth parts.
== [[Real Life]] ==
