Side slant trouser pocket sample | Guide to a Bespoke Suit

This is a guide to making a pocket for tailored trousers that is effectively in the seam. It is a common kind of pocket in formal trousers because it is more subtle and an optional style choice of pocket. The method is basically for trouser pockets because, like the side slant pocket, its edges inside and out are almost all fully finished. The pockets in trousers aren’t usually covered or hidden with lining. As a sample this could be skipped, unless you want to make an inseam pocket, but it is good practice and it is after my previous sample guides that cover a lot of information that I skip over here. As mentioned there are similarities between this and how I make the side slant. Having fewer differences mean that both are easier to remember and remain good at. If this is the first of my guides you’re seeing I am a training tailor making guides to as many parts of bespoke tailoring as I can for you to learn as well. I suggest referencing earlier content to better frame what I might do differently. There are fewer bespoke resources and it’s a different process to production garment making.
