A Useful Story about Suit Pockets (3) “Do you know what a change pocket is? What do they really do?
Have you ever heard of a detail named “change pocket”? It is a small pocket attached above the hip pocket, and is usually located above the right hip pocket. The word “change” in this change pocket directly translates to “change,” and as the name implies, in the olden days change and other small change was stored here. Today, few men use it in such a way, and it is usually regarded as a decorative item. Although it is acceptable to put coins in the pocket for official use, as with the hip pocket, it is basically recommended to avoid putting anything in the pocket that will cause it to bulge.
A Tutorial on Suit Pockets (4) “Is it OK to put something other than a chief in the breast pocket?
The pocket closest to the V-zone, the face of the suit, is the breast pocket. It is not an overstatement to say that using this pocket incorrectly can greatly affect a person’s impression because it is a detail that is close to not only the V-zone but also the face of the wearer. So, is it acceptable to put something other than a pocket chief in the breast pocket of a suit? To sum up, basically anything other than a pocket chief is not allowed, except for a pocket chief at weddings and parties, etc. It is not uncommon to see men on the street carrying pens and the like in their pockets, but it is correct to leave them out in business situations, as their use can make the suit look dowdy and unrefined. If you want to put a pen away, put it in the inside pocket of your jacket.
