Now For Something Completely Different

[Arthur Little]

"The suit jacket is [usually] designed with a left breast pocket ... NOT to contain a pack of cigarettes, a pair of spectacles - or even a business card - but for sporting a *handkerchief.

Without *one, this pocket appears to be a superfluous detail ... and a man looks as if he hasn't finished dressing properly."

:iagree: ... and it would be INTERESTING to know what others think ???

I thought this was going to be a Monty Python thread...

Yes, the left breast pocket is for a hankerchief only, Arthur

[Terpe]

Or mobile phone .

Or spectacles....:D

Interestingly the last (cheap) suit i got had all the pockets sewn up so you couldnt use them. They were just for show!

* :yeahthat:'s particularly annoying ... because it means the wearer has to be VERY careful in unpicking the stitching, or risk cutting into the fabric. :doh

... ah ... you mean the spin-off from the original series? Sorry to've crushed everyone's hopes ... but, in its intended context, this would only apply if the hankie got squashed. :D

As many pockets as possible for me Arthur...always lots of stuff to carry around these days, but usually specs in the breast pocket. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
