To Pocket or Not to Pocket?
Antonio, big fan.
I’m going to have some shirts custom made (Woo).
I guess the purpose behind the shirts are dual in nature:
1) to wear over chinos/slacks/pants to give the ensemble a formal look
2) to (potentially) wear with a suit.
My question pertains to pockets and your thoughts on them. Given the purposes i have for the shirt’s use, should i order them?
Personal choice. In mi opinion, I find them useless, so why have them? I only like them in casual shirts, they’re actually decorative in that case. But again, it’s about personal taste.

LikeDislikeIf you are spending money to have them custom made, then go without a pocket. Used to be that most store bought shirts had pockets. So if you had no pocket, it was almost a sure sign that your shirt is custom made. Of course now, there are so many shirts in stores without pockets… but i think most people still associate pocketless shirts as being custom made. Its a subtle way of saying- “I spent on this and it is better than what other people buy at stores”.
