What's a "patch pocket"?

Post by Weston »

I'm thinking about getting a Todd's jacket soon, and noticed that the standard jacket has "patch pockets" as opposed to the ones on the Todd's custom. What does that mean? Does that mean they are like the ones on my US Wings jacket, where the pocket is stitched right onto the body of the jacket, as opposed to my Westeds, where the side entry pocket goes though the body of the jacket and into the lining?

If that's the case, good! I actually prefer that design, if you've ever worn one in a driving rainstorm for an extended length of time you would know why.

On my Todd´s standard I have no patch pockets but integrated pockets just like the Westeds have.

I think it means the pocket has a hole in it! #-o

It looks to me that the Raiders jacket in the film either doesn't have hand-warmers or they are sewn shut. Anyone have any screen grabs to prove otherwise?
