ticket pocket

Small jacket compartment

A ticket pocket is a small pocket set above the main pocket on the right side of a suit jacket or sport coat, originally designed to hold train tickets for easy access.

The feature appears primarily on British-style tailoring and is considered a detail of classic menswear: The jacket had a ticket pocket and working cuff buttons.
