What is a convertible flap besom pocket on a tuxedo?Updated 5 months ago

A "convertible besom flap" means that you can showcase the tuxedo pockets two different ways. You can wear the tuxedo with the flaps of the pockets hanging down ... or if you prefer, you can tuck the flap pockets into the besom pocket and then you get the look of a tuxedo with double besom pockets. For reference, the majority of tuxedos do not have flaps and have what is called a double besom pocket. This is when your pocket appears to be a slit with small satin strip accents on the pockets.

The next question we often get is "Should I get a tuxedo with or without flap pockets?". This simply comes down to preference. You will see both inexpensive tuxedos with or without flap pockets; you will also see very high-end tuxedos both with or without pockets. Don't worry too much about this small detail. As mentioned before, it's simply a matter of preference.
