Bredvid knäppslån finns fickor med blixtlås, fickorna är stolpfickor med öppningen framåt.
These are pockets on the front of a winter jacket next to the placket. They are at chest height and have a vertical zipped opening. Can anyone tell me what this type of pocket is called in English?

  -> According to SAOL it does, ie, 'med lodrätt skärning'. So SAOL is wrong according to Anna. No modesty there. When will SAOL correct its mistake?

Napoleon pocket


Explanation:
In practice I would probably just call them chest pockets with vertical zips / zippers.
However, I have seen these called Napoleon pockets to distinguish them from all the other varieties of patch pockets, bellows pockets, pen pockets and whatever else can be attached at chest level.

(Scroll down about half way to where details are described)

There’s a napoleon pocket on the chest with a media port that’s been a happy haven for my iPhone. Also, inside the napoleon pocket is a lens wipe conveniently attached to a stretchy cord for wiping fog and rain off the glasses.
