Details of winter jacket
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?

pocket with vertical cutting
This is what it is, but you may find a better term. Eg, vertical pocket.

: Doesn't have to be vertical - http://linafelicia.wordpress.com/2012/08/17/stolpficka-till-... //Det är inte ofta SAOL har fel, men en gång är ingen gång... bröstfickan på en kavaj är ofta en stolpficka och den är horisontell.

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
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.

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.
