Who makes pants with deep front pockets to accommodate a .38 snubby (Mod 49) in a pocket holster?

Dave,
I would like to know also. I've had to have the right front pocket extended by the local clothing store's alteration lady on a couple pairs. It works fine; just that it was a bit of a hastle.
Best wishes in your search for a solution,
Andy

For jeans, try Duluth Trading Relaxfit Ballroom Jeans ...
511 or similar tactical pants usually have deeper pockets than jeans and have the added benefit of the cargo pocket in which you can use a pocket holster or good place to carry some speed strips.
I carry a M649 in a Galco nylon pocket holster in every pair of jeans that I own. It's no problem. If you want a deep pocket then switch to cargo pants. I have several pairs of Tru-Spec rip-stop cotton tactical/cargo-type pants and I can drop even bigger guns in pocket holsters in those and I usually do. Same as 5-11s I reckon.
I will note that concealment is never an issue. But some tighter pairs of jeans make drawing that little revolver slightly difficult but I practice that just in case.

I prefer Orvis pants. They generally have very deep, commodious front pockets. The old Zambezi twill are my favorites: great pockets and heavy enough fabric to not print.
I carry my 442 or my 640-1 in a Galco pocket holster in the front pocket of my Ariat jeans. I have been wearing Ariat jeans for the past 10-11 years. I will have to look at them for the model. My preferred cargo pants and shorts are Tru Spec and a G26 in a Galco pocket holster goes well in the front pocket of those

Thanks everyone!
I second Duluth Trading but I get the Duluth-Flex cargo pants. I wear them everyday and often have a 2.5 in 686 in my right pocket. I have carried up to a 4 inch N frame. Cargo pockets are trim, and have a handy outside pocket just right for your smart phone. Pants are great but the color fades fast. They come in three cuts I think, so young bucks can have their skinny pants and us old fat guys can have relaxed. Their firehose pants are very thick, not what I wanted but they are "tougher than an angry beaver" as they say.

I don't have any problem with J-Frame carry in business casual pants I buy at Walmart. They actually work well.
Jeans have been a problem. I'll keep an eye on this thread for options.

+3 for Duluth. I wear their Ball room jeans, Flex cargo pants and shorts. Not only are they conducive to pocket carry, they’re very comfortable.

+4 for the Duluth ballroom jeans. Regular jeans with exceptionally deep pockets. Swallows up my 642 in a Mica. I don't do cargo pants. I barely tolerate cargo shorts.
You can actually bring the pants to a tailor and have him deepen the pocket. You just don't want it too deep so that the guns muzzle wll be banging you in the knee when you walk. This will only work if the pants are not too tight fitting.
Alternately, you can buy the 511 Style 74251 pants which have pokcets deep enough to conceal a snubnose J frame in a pocket holster.

Have several pairs of newer Carhart overalls that i deepened the pockets myself with saved brown duck from previously worn out Carhart's. Easily fit a Glock 19/23 and edl is right, the deepened portion needed attachment points to pants to keep from banging around. And it was a pita to do.

Jeans are the only thing I have a problem with.
I got a cup of coffee at a meeting the other day with the butt of my Taurus 605 sticking out for all to see. Apparently, no one did.

The design and material of men's pockets has definitely become less handy over the last century. Back when, even suit pants were made with the understanding that real men carried "stuff" in their pockets. Credit cards didn't exist and clothes were supposed to last.
After keeping the local tailor busy repairing pockets for decades, I discovered Carhartt washed duck work pants sometime back. The pockets are both sturdy and generous. Even better, the little tool pockets on the legs take speed strips. Do remember to take the speed strips out before washing. Watch for sales, bought right, they can be downright cheap considering how long they wear.
