US Patent 10306939 Pants with hidden leg pocket

The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which pants have at least a hidden pocket near the end of a pant leg. The hidden pocket has a sealable opening, preferably downward-facing, on the inside of pant leg that is easily assessable from the end of the pant leg. In preferred embodiments, pants have two pockets on each of the pant legs that are connected by a cable which is at least partially covered by a rubber band. The rubber band can be covered by a soft and fluffy material (e.g., velvet). In some embodiments, the pocket has a metalized layer that would at least partially shield the user from electromagnetic radiation produced by an electronic device.
