Pockets and Fastenings

 
 

 Inserted Pockets

Taken from a pattern book, these illustrations show different types of collars and patterns. For instance the Wing Collar Placket and Pointed Placket (with facing)
In the pictures on the right we have Inserted Pockets. These pockets are not as noticable as the patch and welted pocket, however I believe that this makes the garment more fashionable and comfortable to wear.

Jetted Pockets

Jetted Pockets are usually found on suits and jackets.
 

Welted Pockets

 Welted pockets are usually found on troousers. These are the same type of pockets on the back of my trousers.

Different types of pocket designs 
 

 Press Stud (Poppers) and Draw String

         
 
Press studs are simple and easy to do and undo; making the suitable for jackets, plus they are strong and firm.


Zips

 
Zips are a well known fastening as they are easy to operate, however there are different types made for different fucntions. For instance your standard zip used for jackets, trousers, jeans, shoes etc. 
There are other types such as the invisible zip on the far end on the right. This is used for formal clothing where designers desire the zip to be unseen so it does interupt the appearance of the garment.  

                  Hook and eye                      Velcro (Hoop and Loop tape)   

                         
Hook and eye fastening can be found in a variety of garments (usually formal wear), this is because of its small size so it can be easily hidden in a garment so the fastening can not be seen.
Hook and eyes are suitable for suit jackets, skirts and trousers; plus come in different shapes and sizes.
 
Velcro is another popular fastening mostly used in shoes and coats because of its effortless and convenience making it quick and easy. More likely to be used for children wear.
