You might notice that many modern suits have a closed chest pocket. Here’s why.
Purpose of the Closed Pocket:
It’s a design choice to maintain a sleek, clean look on your suit jacket. Leaving it open can cause the pocket to sag or look sloppy.
Traditional vs. Modern:
Historically, the chest pocket was fully functional, but today, it’s mainly decorative. Closing the pocket ensures the jacket keeps its structured silhouette.
Need a Pocket?
If you want to use it, simply carefully open the stitches. But be mindful — it may affect the jacket’s shape over time.
