I like having a secret pocket which can not be found even by searching the garment unless one knows that it is there, it is basically a second pocket hidden behind the regular left coat pocket which can't be accessed as easily as it it hidden, there are a few centimetres inside the normal pocket, near the flap where one can lift the fabric and slip something into the secret pocket behind it. The purpose of this is being able to hide my Signet Ring or something valuable should I ever get mugged, it is truly impossible to find unless you take the coat apart with scissors or know how to access it. Apparently I dress like a cold war spy. :wink: Do you ask for any unusual or special features on your bespoke garments?

The inside pockets are quite peculiar to me, size, position and quantity: I also specify minor alterations to other pockets. However it works for me and I would always recommend anyone to think about what pockets they need before bespeaking a new garment. Rightly there is great concentration upon aesthetics, utility merits detail thought as well.


PM if anyone wants to discuss further?

How surprising that no one seems to take advantage of the oportunity to create garments to their specific requirements.

Perhaps it has become unusual for a bespoke client NOT to ask for anything "unusual"... :roll:
