Talk:Pocket

Merge?
I recommend that jacket pocket be merged into this article, which needs expansion to cover types of pockets. I think people are unlikely to find jacket pocket (and really, if we're talking about formal tailoring techiques, it should be coat pocket). Thoughts? - PKM (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Also recommend merging Besom pocket into a "types of pockets" section here. - PKM (talk) 02:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, let's merge this one PKM. I'm going to go ahead and move actual cited (!!!) material about the besom pocket to the pocket article. SarahStierch (talk) 22:06, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I merged besom pocket! SarahStierch (talk) 22:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I moved jacket pocket to coat pocket so that it can cover broader topic such as the tailoring techniques. There's no need to merge if the topic is for coats and jackets. - M0rphzone (talk) 00:05, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Trouser pockets
What are the names for these two styles of front trouser pockets? Both would be worthy additions to the article.

 * Thigh pockets and swing pockets possibly? Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:55, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Pockets outside Europe?
As written now (September 2022) the history section is silent about the adoption of pockets anywhere outside Europe. I'm not the person to tackle this subject but I hope someone reading this article has the appropriate knowledge of historical clothing. It would be nice to at least know if Europeans were ahead or behind other societies in adopting pockets. Wyvern (talk) 15:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

The Pudding
It would seem The Pudding is not a remarkably sufficient source to make the claim on half of women's pockets. Additionally, the wording of the last sentence seemed more colourful than informative 208.98.222.16 (talk) 21:21, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
