Flap pockets

Flap pockets are used on many items of clothing nowadays. The term ‘flap’ means ‘flap’ and here the fabric is cut into and the resulting slit is provided with a detached piece of fabric, i.e. a flap. They can usually be found on trousers, jackets, jeans, coats, shirts and blazers.

Flap pockets are a stylistic element that gives designers a great deal of freedom. The slit under the flap can be slanted or straight, a play between elegance and sportiness. The shape of the flaps can be round or pointed, they can be highlighted in colour and decorated with other accessories such as buttons.
