Inside pockets: yes or no?

[navetsea]

If you ride you want the inside pocket on the right side where Vanson puts it. If you have to use the inside pocket while riding you don't have to take your hand off the throttle !!

hmm yeah, interesting idea for bike with automatic drive

with clutch lever though, it is better for your left hand pulling the clutch maintaining gliding speed, and right hand off the throttle to do things momentarily without the need to shift the gear to neutral.

so they need to have inside pocket on both sides
besides, interior pocket bags are the nice invisible entry points when your jacket need some repairing work done (loose stitches, replacing or adding eyelets, snaps, or studs)

Thanks for the photo! That helps me to understand the problem much better.

I've just had a quick look at my 1st edition, well-used ELC "Luftwaffe" which shows no print through at all after nearly 30 years. The pocket is clearly constructed differently to the one on my Royale. The ELC pocket is a much simpler design, made in such a way that there is less welting and the leather trim is much flatter. So part of the problem would seem to be the way Aero constructs these pockets.

^yep.

Some of us don't like inside pockets because it would affect the snug/slim fit of the jacket. As much as I would like to look good, I think utility is equally important. Though, I tend to overload the inner pockets with stuff because I feel they are a lot safer in my jacket than my jeans!

My years of jacket research has led me to this default response:

Have them on most of my jackets. Never had a problem with 'show through', though that wouldn't bother me anyhow. Used to want two, now I prefer just one, on the right breast.

Inside pockets? Definitely YES, please! (especially for my sunglasses-etui)

Two inside pockets, like usual on massmarket mens-jackets? YES!

Even both pockets with zipper? OH DOUBLE-YES!!

Additional, deep and versatile breastpocket.

Hooray to premium-storebrands!

I think we are talking about leather jackets which may be subject to show through a print or inside pocket shape on the outside leather shell of jacket after the inside pocket has been in use for awhile.

This is how my 30’s half belt looks like after a year of almost daily wear. There is an inside pocket on the same side as the chest pocket. No “printing” from what I can tell, only a pronounced vertical crease right at the edge of the chest pocket and inside pocket (they overlap).

I would not be bothered if it did print to the outside. An inside pocket is too useful to me to not have it in a jacket (except maybe if you have useful cargo pockets you could do without the inside pocket).
