Lots of DBF on a cold day, including a new university scarf, new (to me) pecora nera, and some cords from a few seasons back.

DBF Team, I beseech you, please make the pockets on your jackets/coats deeper. My phone won't fit in the interior pockets of any of my DBF coats and it is a bummer
Hello ! Thanks for bringing up ! Our fitting model also brought this up last week. Which jackets and coats do you have ?

I think some of the back welt pockets on trousers could be a bit deeper too. I just carry a small card case, and I have a few pairs of DBF trousers that only fit the card case if it is horizontal. I think DBF is the only brand where I run into this issue.

I echo this! Whether it's hiking or balloon, both need deeper pockets all around.
@deborah_dbf thanks for listening.

I have the Granddad Coat, Parisian Raglan Coat, and the Casual Jacket. Very small interior pockets on all of them, I find. I can really only fit a small card case. Very cool that you're so responsive to customer feedback.

I have a corduroy university jacket and the interior pockets are fine but the external ones are purely decorative - I could maybe slip something small like a pack of mints in there but then I’d have no way of getting it out.
No complaints on the two-pocket wool overshirt.

I would also add the work jacket. Basically, I find all 3 outer pockets and also the inner pocket too small. It would be great if the pockets were overhauled.
Still, a great jacket. But I find myself reaching for other jackets more often because of the small pockets.

Small inside pockets also keep me from buying the Granddad coat. So hoping for next season!

Anyway, this post has motivated me to get my work jacket out of the closet again.

University Scarf, Work Jacket, Pecora Nera Sewater, Ballon trousers

Agree on the back pockets of balloon trousers should be deeper.

I thought the pockets on granddad was ok for me but it’s been in storage so maybe I’m misremembering.

Since Deborah is taking feedback - can we add the color black? Would love a black balloon trouser

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
