Problems solved by technology

A problem with the conventional method of attaching mirror patch pockets to the outside and inside of a garment is that the layers of fabric result in bulkiness and stiffness, interfering with the fabric's draping on the body and presenting an unattractive appearance.
These five layers, as well as the two folds at the edge of the pocket, create the undesired bulkiness and stiffness.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to clothing, and more particularly, is directed to a reversible garment having a two-sided pocket. [0002] U.S. Pat. No. 6,182,296, having a common inventor herewith, describes a reversible denim jacket and pants. The pants have patch pockets on the outside left and right hip fronts and on the outside left and right hip rears. Since the pants are reversible, similar patch pockets are on the inside left and right hip fronts, and the inside left and right hip rears. The jacket has patch pockets on the outside left and right chest fronts, and the inside left and right chest fronts. [0003] A problem with the conventional method of attaching mirror patch pockets to the outside and inside of a garment is that the layers of fabric result in bulkiness and stiffness, interfering with the fabric's draping on the body and presenting an unattractive appearance. [0004]FIG. 1A shows a patch pocket attached to a garment. FIG. 1B shows...
