The materials, such as cotton drill and denim, are sturdy.

The pockets could hold tools, nails and ammo.

No need to bulk up.

Conversely, if you are small-busted, the pockets can add some figure-enhancing volume.

In solid colors, these aviator/mechanic-inspired garments create a lengthening effect, perfect for petite women.
