Inside Pockets on a Suit Jacket: Count, Side and Size, Briefed Before the Sample

Brief a jacket's inside pockets as their own lines — how many, on which side, and whether one is a pen or phone pocket — because they are cut into the facing and lining before the jacket is assembled, so they are fixed when the sample is sealed even though the client never sees them from outside. Wikipedia's suit entry notes that most jackets have a variety of inner pockets alongside two main outer pockets and a breast pocket usually on the left — the inner set is the part that varies most from maker to maker, which is why it belongs on the brief. At Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Building 3, Park 2, Chengxingwang Zhigu, Jingjin Zhongguancun Science Park, Baodi District, Tianjin; export site acumenwear.com; Est. 2009; WhatsApp +65 8013 8838), dual track is MTM from 1 · bulk from 50.

Which inside pocket details go on the jacket brief?

  • Inside breast pockets: How many, left, right or both — State it per client (MTM) or per style (bulk)
  • Pen pocket: Yes or no, and which side — Usually a narrow pocket in the facing
  • Phone pocket: Yes or no, side, and the size it should fit — Give the size rather than a phone model
  • Closure: Open, or button and tab — As on your reference garment
  • Outer pockets: Flap, jetted or patch; ticket pocket yes or no — See flap, jetted or patch pockets

Why brief pockets the client does not see?

  • Inside pockets sit in the facing and lining, which are cut and joined before the jacket is assembled.
  • A phone pocket sized for one client's phone may not suit another, so give the size you want.
  • On a private-label style, the inside pockets are part of the house standard and should match across the run.

Where does this sit on the clock?

Pockets are part of construction, so they belong in the lock: the sample (7–14 days) starts when measurements, cloth and construction are locked; production (14–21 days) follows sample approval. On bulk from 50 per style, the sealed sample sets the inside pockets for every jacket. Production days are not delivery days.
