It's been around for 200 years. Are you Highlander?

Just because it's been around for 200 years doesn't mean it can't be a fad. Not that I don't like the look, what makes it cool is that not ever jacket has one but now almost every jacket does.
Just like this ridiculous narrowing of the width of the lapel to 1 inch. It looks ridiculous.

Personally, I would rather see the peaked lapel SB trend go out the door before the ticket pocket. That and the ultra skinny lapel trend. I got no beef with ticket pockets, there pretty rare on Italian brand suits.

Then you apparently don't know what a fad is.

Fad, in-fashion, whatever. the ticket pocket is definitely overused. I also dislike this whole shoulder tabs thing that are popping up on almost every coat out there.

What are you going to say next, that jacket sleeves are overused as well? I can understand that as a stylistic choice you do not prefer the ticket pocket, and apparently nor do I, as I have not opted for a ticket pocket on any of my last MTM suits when I could easily request it. But my preference is not because everyone from Express to Banana Republic is using ticket pockets, I just don't need another mini flapped pocket to put my ticket when I have two hip pockets and 4 or 5 interior ones I can use.

they have been around as long as cutaway/ morning coats. 150+ years.
