Analysis, part 11g - Left Chest Pocket, Zipper Height (men)

As if the wild variations in horizontal and vertical left chest pocket zipper placement weren't enough, the actual zipper varied radically in height as well! 

As was the case with the zipper placement, the men's zippers varied some, but nothing extreme. 

The shortest male left chest pocket we ever observed was, unquestionably, an outlier:

In fact, if the zipper actually extended upward to about the "standard" distance (½" beneath the upper edge of the pocket), it would look about "normal" to us (using these terms loosely, of course).


Archer's ENT jumpsuit left chest pocket zipper appeared to consistently be about 6" tall (using the 1" waist strap as a reference):

Reed's zipper appeared to be about the same height, although it looked somewhat taller on his smaller physique:

Trip's zipper appeared to be a little bit shorter - perhaps 5 ½" or so:

ENT, 2x5 "A Night in Sickbay"


Trip's left chest pocket zipper may have been a bit shorter than Archer's (at least sometimes), but the difference on screen was practically unnoticeable:

Travis' left chest pocket zipper height appeared to vary a bit amongst his uniforms. 

Sometimes it appeared to be a bit shorter - perhaps 5":

Other times, Travis' zipper looked taller - about the same height as Trip's (5 ½" or so):

And still other times his zipper looked plenty long - at least 6":

Some male ENT jumpsuit left chest pocket zippers appeared to hover in the 5" range:

Other male ENT jumpsuits' left chest pocket zippers were noticeably taller, perhaps 6 ½" (at the most):

As you can see, the male ENT jumpsuits' left chest pocket zippers were pretty much always 5" to 6 ½" in height, with the majority of them about 5 ½" to 6" - very little fluctuation in zipper height, all things considered!
