Benefits of technology

[0016]In an alternative non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the pockets permit a user sensitive to magnetic fields to wear a magnetized pocket and may be capable of mitigating magnetic interference with magnetically sensitive pocket contents.
[0017]In an alternative non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the pockets permit a magnetotherapy user to conceal therapy magnets in the pockets, and to adjust magnet strength and to harness the effects of magnetic fields.
[0018]In an alternative non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the pocket allows for at least one of the following: (i) the adjustment of magnet strength and the harnessing of the effects of magnetic f

Problems solved by technology

For example, pockets which are permanently sewn into the clothing item provide no flexibility in the location of the pocket or additional utility of the pocket.
Even if the pocket was detachable, the process for detaching and reattaching the pocket may be timely and cumbersome and the clothing item may become torn in the process.
If the pocket is attached via a pin, the resu
