The Suit Jacket
by Betsy Brown
I love pockets. I love to use my pockets, in pants, in skirts if they are fabulous enough to have them, and definitely in jackets. Today I bought a chic navy pin-striped suit jacket, a separate, and it feels so good – fem and man all at the same time. I am instantly powerful, city, winter, with my new jacket on. And the pockets – they are all over the place! From the side AND top loading normal pockets, front lapel, and an adorable inside pocket with a button that is perfect for secret items, what I don’t know yet, but my imagination is alive with possibilities: lipstick naturally, cash, cigarettes, lsd, love notes, telephone numbers, wow, so many secrets I can imagine…do you have any suggestions dear friends? At least now I know how to open the half-sewn pockets, before I moved to nyc I had no idea you were supposed to OPEN the stitching, and I missed out on all the sheer usefulness and fun... until my smart metro boyfriend showed me how it's done.
I like your pocket story. I love pockets too - I feel a little naked when wearing jackets and coats without pockets.
