Superdry Coat With Pockets - For Winter Warmth And Travelling

 

Multi-Pocket Coats
On a bus in London this coat caught my eye. I liked the pocket on the sleeve. The wearer told me she liked the two pockets at above waist level. They keep your hands warm and comfy.

Two more pockets below waist level are huge, ipad size, and protectively padded.
Two pockets are on the sleeve outside. Two more pockets inside.

The company has lots of variations, with hoods, in camel colour, black, red and more. 

Prices of |Superdry Coats

The new coats in February 2026 cost around £100 and up. But in their winter sale I found a coat reduced from over a hundred pounds to 76. Also ten per cent off your first order on signing up. You might also get free or discounted postage. 

|In addition to coats, they sell jeans, jumpers and rucksacks.

Travel clothes - pockets for pleasure and practicality


 My pale blue denim jacket has four big outside pockets and an inside pocket. I wore it everywhere in Albania on holiday, hiking in the countryside, and visiting museums and restaurants in the cities. 

The pockets have button fastening. Safer to prevent things falling out, as well as theft. I did occasionally drop things out when I did not bother to fasten the pockets and leaned over or took off the jacket indoors. For extra security, one day I shall add small zips.

How To Secure Pockets When Travelling


Photo by Michael Sheehan in Wikipedia.

The ideal travelling jacket has outside pockets for quick access to unimportant or not valuable items such as handkerchieves and combs, but secure inner pockets for money and credit cards and identity cards or passports.

If you don't have the time or money, some inexpensive items can be bought new or second hand. Search for photographer's jacket, fishing jacket, travelling jacket and pockets. Other words such as gilet may bring up more results. I check Amazon, Ebay, Pick pocet proof clothing.

You can also find belts with pockets at camping shops and ski and outdoor wear shops.

If the clothes you order on line have pockets which are not secure, or you have clothes which you love, but want to add security, here are some options.

1 Wear a belt with a zip compartment under your jacket.

2 Make a belt with a zip. Cut a wide hem off a long dress or old coat or old coat or jacket lining.  fold it horizontally and before seaming it up, add a zip in the middle.

 3 Secure all the pockets on all garments you intend to wear whilst travlling and clothes you are packing to wear at the destination.





When buying bags and tote bags, look for zips and press studs or Velcro (touch and loop closure).

Inserting a zip is easy. Decide where you want the pull part to be and pin or safety pin that in place. Decide if you want the zip visible or hidden half an inch inside. Sew down both sides of the zip. Secure the end by sewing across.

No time? No Zip?

Use a small zipped fabric toiletry bag. One you already own or buy a cheap zipped bag. Sew it inside a tote bag. Remove the inner pockets from a garment you were throwing away and keep them in a sewing box and add them to your travel garments.

Do you have a garment with false zips, ones which actually work but have no pockets behind them? Add a pocket behind. The simplest pocket is just a square sewn up on three sides.

Pick pocket proof clothing

I was emailed news about a Pick-Pocket Proof jacket seeking investors for funding, with offers of reduced prices. 

I like jackets with inner pockets.

I wrote back (I had to sign up first). (They seem expensive compared to Craghoppers.) Of course, a lot less expense than losing your passport, credit cards, money and phone, plus all the bits and pieces, phone cover and so on.

What extra is offered compared to other companies with jackets which have pockets?  They have a way of securing the zip pull.

So I wrote and asked if they had a matching set as I have several jackets and tops in my wardrobe which don't match anything else. 

They wrote back: 

"We already offer Pick-Pocket Proof™ travel pants which pair well with our new Cubed Travel Jacket. You can check them out at clothingarts.com. We have styles for both men and women and they come in a variety of colours."

Just don't take off your jacket and put it on the back of your chair. Nor let anybody go off with it to hang it up.
