Notes/Tips:

We do NOT accept leggings at this time, but we are working to add this to our product offerings.
With the exception of interior pockets in outerwear, all garments must have side seams in order to have pockets installed in them.
Garments made from stretch/knit fabrics are acceptable, but will lose some vertical stretch along the seams. Please keep this in mind when ordering pockets for these clothes.
If you do not see your specific type of garment in our shop, but it meets the requirements and is included in the list above, please select the product listing that most closely matches your garment, and make a note indicating this change during checkout. ( i.e If you have a romper or jumpsuit, select “Dresses – Business/Casual” or “Pants – Loungewear” in its place.) We are working hard to photograph and create new listings for each product offering!
If you have a specific type of garment you don’t see listed in this section please email us at hello@pocketsthanks.com for custom orders.

Dresses

Our pockets love ALL types of dresses! We can add pockets to any shape, silhouette, or style as long as the dress has side seams in every layer of the skirt (including the lining).

Style Tips:

For slim fitting dresses (such as bodycon or shift style), we have created a special, teardrop shaped pocket that fits vertically along the leg for a smoother fit. We HIGHLY recommend adding an invisible zipper to this dress style for optimized fit and security.
All materials are welcome! If your dress is made from a knit/stretch material, please keep in mind that the vertical stretch along the seams will be reduced.

Jeans

Jeans with fake or tiny front pockets are a crime, and we are here to serve justice. We can add new pockets or expand the existing ones in any pair of jeans as long as they have an existing front pocket seam (as shown in the reference photo below).

Style Tips:

We usually have to replace the hardware when adding new pockets, so your jeans may come back with different rivets. We will always do our best to match the existing color.

Outerwear

Having functional pockets in all of you outerwear pieces is essential. We offer two different style of pockets for outerwear, meaning we have a solution for any style of jacket, coat, blazer, or cardigan.

Style Tips – Side Pockets:

Standard side pockets can be added to any style or type of outerwear! Any garment you choose for this pocket style MUST have side seams.
We recommend selecting this option for garments that have a relaxed and/or looser fit.
If the outerwear garment you want side pockets in is tighter and/or form fitting, we HIGHLY recommend adding the invisible zipper upgrade option. Adding a zipper will maintain the streamlined fit of the garment and prevent the pocket opening from gaping.

Style Tips – Interior Chest Pocket

Interior chest pockets can be added to the inside of structural outerwear, such as jackets, coats, and blazers.
Outerwear with a full lining offers the best concealment of interior pockets with a professional finish.
Unlined garments are acceptable, but must be constructed with center seams at the front (as shown in the reference photo below).

Sweatshirts

What is the only thing that can make a comfort staple like a cozy sweatshirt or hoodie better? Pockets. Just make sure the garments you send us have side seams on both sides.

Style Tips:

Pockets will reduce the vertical stretch along the side seams.
This pocket style is best suited for garments that have a relaxed and/or looser fit.
For tighter, form/fitting garments, we HIGHLY recommend adding the invisible zipper upgrade option to prevent the opening of the pocket from gaping when not in use.

Skirts

Our pockets love ALL types of skirts! We can add pockets to any shape, silhouette, or style as long as there are side seams in every layer of the skirt (including the lining).

Style Tips:

For slim fitting skirts(such as pencil or shift style), we have created a special, teardrop shaped pocket that fits vertically along the leg for a smoother fit. We HIGHLY recommend adding an invisible zipper to this pocket style for optimized fit and security.
All materials are welcome! If your skirt is made from a knit/stretch material, please keep in mind that the vertical stretch along the seams will be reduced.
For very short skirts, the length of the pocket may be reduced to fit the skirt.

Pants

Pants with real, functional pockets, that you don’t have to shop in the men’s section for? It seems like a fantasy, but we are here to make it a reality.

We can add pockets to any pants style (sweats, pajamas, slacks, capris, etc.) Make sure that whatever pants you send us have side seams on both sides.
Standard side pockets are best suited to pants that have a relaxed and/or looser fit around the hip area.
For tighter/form fitting pants, we HIGHLY recommend adding the invisible zipper upgrade option to prevent the opening of the pocket from gaping when not in use.
