Types of jacket pockets - The external pockets of the men's jacket represent an element that significantly influences the design of a jacket. In fact, depending on the pocket model, the connotation of a dress or jacket can vary greatly, and can also affect the harmony of the figure, for this reason it is important to know the various types of pockets and avoid lapses in style.
An important tip is not to unstitch the stitching that closes the external pockets so as not to ruin the aesthetics of the jacket, using the internal pockets to store personal objects.

-
Welt pockets with flap : The flap pockets are pockets with two welts, in which a strip of fabric with rounded lines defined precisely as skate . This type of pocket allows a "double chance" as the flaps can be hidden inside the piping, so as to make the jacket formal or informal depending on the occasion.
