The front and back of this pocket are each made from one piece of twill weave linen, the lower front is lined. The back has two large patches. There is a hole on the lower front and much wear elsewhere. This pocket belongs to a group of five pockets from the same donor (59.285.6-9 & 59.245.30). They have several features in common, such as construction methods and some materials, signs of heavy wear and extensive repair often using the same methods.
