Attn: Expert Fashionistas! Pls Help! Are these "real" pockets?

I want to get this coat, but those two "slits" look like fake pockets to me. Sorry, I don't know the proper terminology. I've ordered jackets where there are "slits" on the photo, only to find out once I receive the merchandise, that is exactly what they are .. slits!! .. and NO pocket! Ridiculous!

That's the problem. They always "look" real in the picture. Then you get the item, and NADA! I have tons of jackets with those "slits" (not a real pocket). Of course, jackets are not the same as "coats". I'm thinking, it would be real stupid to make a coat with no pockets, eh? {#emotions_dlg.mad}

I agree pockets are needed.......does CS have any idea? Although with the styling on this jacket the pockets if there are any are probably not going to be very useful due to the size......

i am not sure i have ever seen or bought anything with a slit pocket that was just fake and that could not be opened up....... usually you just have to remove the threads.

  • MICHAEL Michael Kors quilted tech fabric puffer coat.
  • Golden hardware; MK logo pull tabs.
  • Detachable faux-fur (modacrylic/acrylic with polyester backing) collar; front zip.
  • Long sleeves; ribbed knit cuffs.
  • Front vertical, welt zip pockets.
  • Polyester shell/lining; acrylic knit; 90/10 waterfowl down/feather fill.
  • Polyester collar fill; machine wash.
  • Imported

NOTHING about pockets. But you know what I just noticed? ... "IMPORTED" ...

Prolly "Made in China" ... Nevermind. The top (br&@st) portion is prolly 32AA. Forget it! I Don't want it. There's nothing worse than a coat you can't move your arms in because the top part is too snug. {#emotions_dlg.angry}

Thanks, Fashionistas! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

The description says front zip welt pockets.

With MK I would size up just in case.

Oh duhhh! How many times did I read that description? I guess I just missed it because I really don't like ""welt"" pockets ... can't put my keys in them. Thanks!

The majority of times welt pockets are sewn shut for shipping. All you have to do is undo the stitching and you have a pocket. They seldom put a welt in just for looks - too expensive.

Why can't you put keys in a welt pocket? Welt just means the flat trim at the top of the pocket, nothing to do with the size.
