The vertical positioning of the thigh pockets varied considerably (are you at all surprised at this point?!?) - that is, the distance between the waist straps/lower waist straps on men and the top edges of the thigh pockets.
The distance between the thigh pockets and waist straps was generally a bit shorter on the ladies' jumpsuits, but again, this is generally speaking!
For instance, that on one of Hoshi's ENT jumpsuits, her thigh pockets were ½" or less below her waist straps.

We saw similar thigh pocket placements on several other female ENT jumpsuits, as well.

Other ENT jumpsuits (of both genders) had thigh pockets positioned approximately ½" to ¾" beneath the waist straps.

Plenty of ENT jumpsuits' thigh pockets were positioned about 1" beneath the waist straps, including Travis', Captain Hernandez's, and "AG" Robertson's:

The 1"(ish) thigh pocket positioning was fairly popular on both genders' ENT jumpsuits.

As best we could determine, the majority of the ENT jumpsuits' thigh pockets were positioned 1" to 2" beneath the waist straps, including Trip's, Reed's, (at least) one of Archer's, (at least) one of Travis', and (at least) one of Hoshi's.

As noted previously, (at least) one of Travis' ENT jumpsuits had thigh pockets positioned about 1" beneath his lower waist strap (see page 354), but he did have at least one other ENT jumpsuit with thigh pockets positioned slightly more than 1" beneath his lower waist strap - perhaps 1 ¼":

Also, as you may recall, (at least) one of Hoshi's ENT jumpsuits had thigh pockets positioned ½" (at most) beneath her waist strap (see above), but she did have at least one other ENT jumpsuit with thigh pockets positioned lower - perhaps 1 ½":

The 1" to 2" thigh pocket positioning was, again, very common on both genders' extras/background uniforms:

There were some ENT jumpsuits with unusually low thigh pocket placements (between 2" and 3" beneath the waist straps) - most notably, Archer's!

I mean, just look at how much lower Archer's thigh pockets were (in relation to his lower waist straps) that nearly all of the others we observed!

Archer's (one set of?) early jumpsuit(s?) notwithstanding, his thigh pockets appeared to have been consistently positioned this low on most of his costumes.

We did observe a similar thigh pocket placement on two other uniforms - one male, and one female (though the female uniform was less extreme, perhaps 2"):
 |

|
Regardless, the variation didn't seem to be erroneous or otherwise due to neglect or apathy on the part of the costume department, as many uniforms were consistent with each other in this regard, and nobody seemed shy about showing different thigh pocket placements on screen at the same time.
 |
| ENT, 2x4 "Dead Stop" |
 |
| ENT, 2x5 "A Night in Sickbay" |
What was presumably erroneous, though, was when the two thigh pockets weren't equidistant from the waist straps on the same uniform, such as the two below:
 |
| ENT, 1x22 "Vox Sola" |
|
 |
| ENT, 2x5 "A Night in Sickbay" |
|
Note that on both examples above, the wearer's left thigh pocket appeared to be about 1" beneath the lower waist strap, but the right thigh pocket was slightly lower - perhaps 1 ¼" or 1 ½" beneath the lower waist strap.
But hey, stuff happens, and as I'm sure you're aware, there's a lot to keep up with when making one of these uniforms, so we can let the occasional slip-up slide, right?
