4. POCKETS : INTRODUCTION
A pocket is a bag- or envelope-like receptacle either fastened to or inserted
in an article of clothing to hold small items. Pockets may also be attached to
luggage, backpacks, and similar items. In older usage, a pocket was a
separate small bag or pouch

5. POCKETS : A BRIEF HISTORY
Ancient people used leather or cloth pouches to hold valuables. Ötzi, who
lived around 3,300 BCE, had a belt with a pouch sewn to it that contained a
cache of useful items: a scraper, drill, flint flake, bone awl and a dried fungus.
In European clothing, fitchets, resembling modern day pockets, appeared in
the 13th century. Vertical slits were cut in the super tunic, which did not have
any side openings, to allow access to purse or keys slung from the girdle of
the tunic.
In slightly later European clothing, pockets began by being hung like purses
from a belt, which could be concealed beneath a coat or jerkin to discourage
pickpocketing and reached
through a slit in the outer garment.
The word appears in Middle
English as pocket, and is taken
from a Norman diminutive of Old
French poke, pouque, modern
poche, cf. pouch. The form "poke"
is now only used dialectically, or in
such proverbial sayings as "a pig
in a poke".
Historically, the term "pocket"
referred to a pouch worn around
the waist by women in the 17th to
19th centuries, mentioned in the
rhyme Lucy Locket.

6. POCKETS : TYPES
A watch pocket or fob pocket is a small pocket designed to hold a pocket
watch, sometimes found in men's trousers and waistcoats and in traditional
blue jeans. However, due to the decline in popularity of pocket watches,
these pockets are rarely used for their intended purpose.
A besom pocket or slit pocket is a pocket cut into a garment instead of being
sewn on. These pockets often have reinforced piping along the slit of the
pocket, appearing perhaps as an extra piece of fabric or stitching. Besom
pockets are found on a tuxedo jacket or trousers and may be accented with a
flap or button closure.
Camp pockets are pockets which have been sewn to the outside of the
garment. They are usually squared off and are characterized by seaming.
A beer pocket is a small pocket within a jacket or vest sized specifically for
transporting a bottle of beer. It came into fashion in the 1910s in select areas
of the American Midwest, prior to Prohibition, after which it faded into relative
obscurity before experiencing minor revivals in the 1980s and early 2000s.

9. POCKET SQUARES
they are referred to as a pocket handkerchief or pocket square. As a visible
fashion item there are a wide variety of ways to fold a pocket square, ranging
from the austere to the flamboyant: The Presidential, perhaps the simplest, is
folded at right angles to fit in the pocket.

15. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT POCKETS
1. One thing a lot of people take for granted is pockets. It seems like men
always have pockets. They're a requirement in men's pants, men's coats
always have functional pocket.. Women's clothing manufacturers, on the
other hand, seem to believe women can't be trusted with pockets.
Something like 99 percent of dresses have no pockets at all, and the
more formal you get, the more likely a women's coat or pants pocket is
going to be a fake, decorative pocket.
2. From the 17th century to the late 19th century, most women had at least
one pair of pockets, which served a similar purpose as a handbag does
today. There are no pockets visible on this woman's ensemble of 1760.
They were usually worn underneath their petticoats.
3. There were no mobile phones, car keys or credit cards in the 18th
century. Nevertheless, women kept a wide variety of objects in their
pockets. In the days when people often shared bedrooms and
household furniture, a pocket was sometimes the only private, safe
place for small personal possessions. They use to keep Money and
Jewelry
4. So people started hanging their pocket-purses inside their pants. This
made it tough for criminals to get at their money. It also made it difficult
for the rightful owners to get at the money. To buy something you'd
virtually have to drop your trousers and moon the entire marketplace.

16. MY CREATIONS
After learning so much about the pockets I realise maybe there is lot more
about it beyond my reach. So keeping the knowledge into consideration I’ve
designed a few pockets. The technical sheets of the same is in upcoming
slides. In this I’ve worked with 3D shapes which are inspired from English
alphabets and geometry. Although there are so many variations in pockets
which I could have taken in my design but the main purpose of designing
such pockets is either make them attractive or professional. Following slides
includes the technical sheets of following designs:
