The ticket pocket, so chic!<

When a customer wants to make a jacket, we review many details, including the shape of the pockets. On the right side, in particular, it is possible to add a small pocket with a flap, about 1 / 3 shorter than the normal dimension. French tailors call it "the English pocket" because it was invented in England. With the arrival of the railway, many gentlemen began to travel between London and their estates. These gentlemen then stuck the little train ticket in the stripe of their hat, a bit like journalists with the press card. It lacked discretion.

An ad hoc pocket was created: the ticket pocket or ticket pocket. This asymmetrical detail immediately flourished. Nothing made British more than this astute addition. Soon customers around the world adopted it for their sport jacket. Because, at first, the ticket pocket was only realized on tweed's clothes. It was not until the 1960s that we thought of adapting it to city costumes. It is said that Pierre Cardin incorporated these two details to draw Patrick Macnee's outfit in the melon hat and leather boots series, because they were "British".

But this juxtaposition was not always unanimous. Much like the pockets on a suit, an option normally reserved for riding jackets, this choice was not accepted by purists. As far as I'm concerned, all my costumes have a ticket pocket. Housing a small set of keys is very convenient. And this gives the garment a touch that is rarely found in clothing, except in English houses!
