Comment on The reason your Columbia shirt has a tiny pocket near your waistline (2019)

Comments

certain women’s garments with “pockets below the waist” get lower duty rates than those without. Because of that, a number of the women’s shirts Columbia Sportswear makes are intentionally designed with tiny pockets near the waistline, which lowers the cost of importing them.

Thanks for the gist.

The clickbait title could use an edit:

The reason some Columbia shirts have a tiny pocket near waistline: lower import duties

Thank you
