NYDJ Women's Marilyn Straight Denim Jean

I love NYDJ jeans and have worn them for years. They're super comfortable, shape flattering, and hold up very well. I was ready for a new pair and ordered these without a second thought. When they arrived I tried them on right away, they fit perfectly and I put them away. I finally decided to wear them yesterday and when I put them on, once again I was very pleased with the fit. However, for the first time I put my hands in my front pockets. Or, at least I tried to put my hands in my front pockets. They are so tiny that a tube of lipstick would not fit in there. What the heck were they thinking when they designed this particular style? I should add these are regular full length jeans, nothing fancy, not capris or leggings, etc. Unfortunately for me, I was so used to getting these jeans and loving them I never thought to try the pockets. By the time I decided to actually wear them I missed my return window by about two weeks (my last day to return them was March 14). So now I am stuck with jeans that I can't even stuff a tissue into the front pocket. I'm sure I'll persevere and there are certainly worse things that could happen to a person, but it's just another annoyance to put up with when you expect better.
