What Is a Ticket Pocket?
The ticket pocket is the smaller pocket positioned above the right hip pocket on men’s jackets, traditionally about half the width of the pocket beneath it. You’ll often see it with a flap, though it can also be jetted (a slim, slit opening), patched, or styled at a hacking angle.
This understated feature might seem purely decorative at first glance, but it has a history steeped in practicality, unique British heritage, and a legacy of equestrian and urban utility.
