Assuming this is an elementary question - any help would be appreciated.

Hacking pockets only look good/appropriate on non-business fabrics, such as tweeds, cords, and heavier, coarser fabrics. On a high twist, flat wool, like serge they'll look out of place. So, I doubt you wear tweed to the office, so the question is irrelevant.Thank you - is this acceptable for business suits? My understanding is that it has, historically, been meant only for tweed jackets and the like.

Perhaps we should consider the possibility that RTW suits don't set an especially high standard. I value the sartorial opinion of Darren Beaman, Savile Row much more highly than I value the opinion of George Zimmer, Men's Wearhouse.Either way, my point was that hacking pockets look out of place on fabrications that are typically used on "business suits." Thus you won't find many RTW suits like this.
youre kidding?A purist (I am one)
I read somewhere that they are slanted so that, when riding a horse (and leaning forward) the pocket would remain horizontal and parallel to the ground. Anyone horsey enough to verify this? Chuck?They are considered a country, "horsey" detail.
Perhaps when bike couriers start dressing more formally, they too will adopt a hacking pocket for similar reasons...
I think RTW suits set a higher standard than bespoke. Bespoke gives the customer the liberty in some cases to become the fashion designer, which leads to, in most cases, disaster... just look at a few of the suits guys on here have designed for themselves, or have written about getting made. I can just picture someone with way more money than taste getting a Duponi silk suit with a hacking pockets, as well as a ticket pocket. With RTW, you have professional designers who know what looks "right;" though their designs may not suit your taste, they will, for the most part, look "right." BTW, I'm not talking about Men's Wearhouse. I'm talking about any respectable maker Barbera, Kiton, RL, Zegna, etc... Also, this doesn't include fashion; Etro, Dolce, etc....Perhaps we should consider the possibility that RTW suits don't set an especially high standard.
