My two cents: nothing wrong with a two- or three-patch pockets coat for a three-piece suit, but I would get regular welted pockets for the vest, especially if the cloth is worsted (actually, I think patch pockets look wrong on most worsteds anyway, coats included, but that's probably just me). Mind you, there is a picture of a patch ticket pocket in that old anglomania thread (remember? It's on a blueish tweed coat), and it looks rather neat, if slightly affected. So small patch pockets can look good even when prominently displayed. But it's certainly a risky move. EDIT: I see it's a Donny. In that case patch pockets would look good even if it's a worsted tweed, of course. Not that I like worsted tweeds, but still.
Patch pockets look bad on most jackets.
Neah...won't post it this time. Too easy. - B
Don't hold back on my account.
Like most things, it loses its shock value from overuse. We'll leave it dormant for now, and let it revivify. - B
That's funny, I never get over the shock of many of your outfits

Thank you...I try to keep things fresh.
You're clever to keep us guessing about how you dress, however...we only get those tantalizing bits and pieces. - B
Yes.
Top stitching on tweed is a bad idea on so may levels. Where did you hear about this and why would you want it?
I thought it was about as classic a detail as it gets.
