Men's Suit Pockets

Most jackets have a variety of inner pockets, and two foremost outer pockets, which are normally patch pocket, flap pockets, or jetted pockets. The patch pocket is, with its only extra piece of cloth sewn straight onto the front of the jacket, a sporting option, occasionally seen on summer linen suits, or other casual styles. The flap pouch is typical for side pockets, and has an additional lined flap of matching fabric cover the top of the pocket. A jetted pocket is the majority formal, with a small strip of fabric taping the peak and base of the slit for the pocket. This method is mainly often on seen on formal wear, such as a dinner jacket.

In totaling to the normal two outer pockets, some suits have a third, the ticket pocket, regularly located just over the right pocket and roughly half as wide. While this was initially completely a feature of country suits, used for suitably storing a train ticket, it is now seen on some city suits. One more country feature also worn occasionally in cities is a pair of hacking pockets, which are similar to usual ones, but slanted; this was initially designed to make the pockets easier to unlock on horseback while hacking.
