What to look out for in a New Jacket - Satin Lined pocket!

[Brigadier]

My wife used to nanny for a family who were so "careful" with money, they used to cut the husband's worn-out underpants up, for the kids to use as hankies

No wonder the poor mites were picked on at school.....

I hope she washed them first.

Because that would make it alright then?

Of course. Why waste good money on expensive handkerchiefs?

Hmmmm... a greasy waistcoat pocket? Reminds me of a girl I once knew....

Are we talking Wizard's sleeve here?

I thought they were called clowns pockets?

Sounds like a regional think. Suppose our equivalent would be Wookey Hole.

I should add that, contrary to popular opinion, not absolutely everything in Yorkshire is bigger than anywhere else!

Will that magically baby's bum-soft satin pocket stop your overpriced flimsy Apple phone from getting bent?

Well at least some manufacturers are incorporating phone friendly pockets in their jackets now - I've kept keys and coins in various one-piece pockets over the past twenty years, and not had one damaged pocket ever! Come-On-Manufacturers, the one-piece method really works!!!

An update - that satin lined pocket is still as good as new, as there were no seams to wear out at the bottom etc, and my phone remains un-scratched!

And un-bent?

Jeez. I thought Coathanger's ramblings were sleep inducing.

Kai, no offence, but you need to get out a bit more. You have the jacket to make this possible.

I'd rather Kai stayed indoors, and kept away from other people. Maybe there is a club for satin pocket fetishists?

Now you've tried this experiment with your sharp jagged mobile phone could you possibly repeat the experiment with a bunch of keys , penknife and that odd bolt you've just picked up because it might be useful?
