Other useful things found in pockets were keys, spectacles, a watch and pocket books."

In the 19th century in a dictionary it would define “a small pouch or bag attached to or inserted in a garment.” The original pockets were separate bags, not sewn-in but detached from clothing. In the 17th century theft became a problem which led pockets to be installed rather inside the clothing or attached to it.

Jetted Pockets. The first jacket pockets were sewn inside the lining or seams of garments, and are called “jetted” pockets. In their simplest form, they consist of little more than a slit; if you look at the left breast of your suit jacket, you’ll likely see an example. Jetted pockets can also have flaps, and this is what you’ll probably see on the bottom hip pockets of your jacket. These flaps came into vogue at the beginning of the 20th century and were originally designed to protect the contents of the inner pouch from falling out and from getting wet with rain. When you went inside, and the flap was no longer in use, you tucked it into your pocket; this tradition is of course no longer practiced, and the flap is kept perennially outside the jacket. Suits that are the most formal, especially tuxedos, do away with flap pockets altogether to give the piece a more streamlined look.


Ticket Pockets. Sitting above the right hip pocket, and about half the size, its purpose is easily guessed: it held a gentleman’s train ticket when he traveled by rail. In the 20th century it became known as a change or cash pocket, and it communicated that your suit had been custom tailored. Still today, few off-the-rack suits come with a ticket pocket, and they often must be specially ordered.

Patch Pockets. When gents of the 19th century desired additional pockets for storing their odds and ends while out in the countryside, tailors began adding patch pockets to their sports coats. A patch pocket consists of a piece of fabric sewn to the outside of a garment, forming one side of the pocket, with the other side formed by the material of the garment itself.


Patch pockets can have pleats that expand their capacity and flaps to protect their contents. The sporting men of yesteryear used them for storing provisions, cartridges, and various other supplies when hunting, shooting, riding horses, cycling, and playing golf and polo. 

Because they added an extra layer of fabric to a garment, patch pockets were considered the least formal kind of pocket, and still today are generally considered only appropriate for sport coats, rather than blazers or suit jackets.

The frustrations and limitation of women's access to money and ownership of property were neatly mirrored in the restricted scope of their pockets."

The Figurative Pocket

"The word 'pocket' also can refer to many things in life besides what is mentioned above. As a part of speech, it has found its way into almost every aspect of modern life, referring to objects that are smaller than normal (pocket-sized) such as the 'pocket mouse' and 'pocket gopher' - two distinct species of rodents with large external cheek pouches (these are common in the Americas).

In the financial area, there are many terms that make good use of 'pocket', such as 'pocket money' and 'to touch the pocket'. Also, 'pocket piece' is a piece of money kept in the pocket and not spent.

In politics, a 'pocket borough' is a borough with very few voters. Before the parliamentary reform in 1832, it was a small borough controlled by a single family or person. As well, a 'pocket sheriff' is a sheriff appointed by the sole authority of the crown, without a nomination by the judges in the exchequer.

In other areas of life: a 'pocket pistol' is not a firearm, but a flask of whisky carried just in case no drink is available on a journey. In addition, the popular video game series Pokemon is derived from the words 'pocket monster'. In mining, a 'pocket' is a rich deposit of ore found in a cavity in rock. In sailing, a 'pocket' is a strip of cloth sewn onto a sail through which a spar or batten can be inserted. In billiards, it is the pouch into which the balls are driven."
