What Are Your Preferred Types Of Pocket?

[ Edited ]

It isn't often I will turn down a piece of clothing because of a pocket.  My favorite type is in seam pockets, although, I rarely use them, and sometimes don't unsew them.

I won't buy anything with a "pork chop" pocket.  I hate to see (and don't want) a "circle" on a woman's thigh.

I require it to be deep enough to be useful. Shallow pockets are worse than useless.

I agree with you both.  I don’t care for the look of pork chop pockets either, and a too-small pocket is worse than none at all.  “Faux” pockets?  What’s the use?  Gotta be functional.  I rarely buy pants without functional pockets.

I’m not a fan of slit pockets on the sides of jeans or pants. They are usually temporarily stitched down because the designers know they gap open adding width to the hip area. I always have mine sewn closed when taking my pants for a hem.

It depends on where it is located. I also don't care for  the 4 pocket look ,on a top

 

I usually like seam pockets on my lower half

if we are talking about pants, my preferred pocket is NO POCKET at all.

I prefer NO pockets. I usually sew them closed and cut away the lining.

Pockets especially in pants are a must for me.  The only type I do not like are "cargo" pockets that are midway down on the leg.  And "faux pockets" are a complete turnoff.  Never buy either style.

I will not buy anything with a sewn on pocket.   I only like pockets that are hidden in a seam or a besom pocket on a jacket with no flaps.
