Analysis, part 18c - Calf Pockets, Zippers

Each calf pocket had a horizontal zipper near the top that extended almost the entire width of the pocket itself. 

The zippers opened outward and closed toward center (the inseam). 


The outer edges of the zippers appeared to extend to about ¼" from the leg zipper's ¼" topstitching, or about ½" from the side edge of the pocket.

Unlike all the other pocket zippers on the ENT jumpsuits, the "top" (closed end) of the calf pocket zippers extended all the way to the edges of the pocket and were secured with the edge stitching mentioned previously.

The calf pocket zippers were usually placed either ¾" or 1" from the top edge of the pocket, with no apparent rhyme or reason to which ones were which ... 

These zippers, for instance, appear to have been positioned about ¾" from the top edge of the pocket:

But most of the main cast's calf zippers were usually about 1" from the top edge of the pocket:

Note that in the same publicity photo, while Travis and Reed are standing next to each other, Travis' calf pocket zipper appears to be about 1" below the top edge of the pocket, while Reed's appears to be about ¾":

The calf pocket zippers were, of course, edge stitched around their perimeter.

The bottoms of the calf pockets were sewn directly into the leg cuffs, which we'll examine later.
