Single welt trouser hip pocket sample | Guide to a Bespoke Suit

This is the second common pocket used in tailored trousers. When making trousers you can usually use your own methods. So long as they meet certain criteria to make the rest of the trouser properly, the hip pockets aren’t a big factor, so you don’t need this method. However I have made these guides in an order to thoroughly cover things early on and then progressively skip over more and more techniques. You can find a written and illustrated version of this guide and others at tailorsperks dot co dot uk. https://tailorsperks.co.uk/introduction-to-bespoke-tailoring/ 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.
