What is the difference between a side seam, quarter & besom pocket on trousers?
Trouser pockets are simply a matter of preference. Side seam pockets are cut right on the side seam of the trousers and are generally more challenging to place your hands inside the pockets. A quarter pocket is a more traditional look, and is easy to place your hands inside your pockets, as these pockets are cut on an angle. A besom pocket is a more contemporary look. A besom or cord pocket is basically two slits of fabric finished to a sleek opening.
