Pockets

[DFR]

That is a helpful diagram. I must say that i do not like the pen pocket above the left in breast - elow is much more discrete as a post above suggests.

Are there any views on contrasting colours for elements of the lining as this suggests - i don't dislike it. I tend to havea contrasting lining anyway and on my next commission am very tempted to do as this suggests. The edge stitching or even a piping are optiions too.

Really? I thought ticket pocket always referred to an outside pocket above the right hip pocket, and about half as wide.

I also know this internal pocket as a ticket pocket, although I am told that technically it is a "ticket pocket in the facing". The small pockets within the (usually) right hip pocket are also called ticket pockets.

Does anyone other than me (an another friend of mine) ask for deeper pockets on their trousers and slightly wider pockets on their coats? I really don't like shallow pockets and the felling of being stopped short. I've learned to ask for the coin pocket on inside right and to no have the fob pocket at all. I also now ask that they use a heavier grade cloth.

Yes i specify specific depths and sizes for all pockets in both trousers and coat. As ypu say I have to use and know wha goes in each - therefore I don't want any 'misfits'. It is as important as any other element of the suit.
