    If I may,,,,

    An under-apron Pocket is just a rectangle of fabric sewn onto the surface of the Under Apron.

    A Side Pockets is, yes, similar to those in slacks.

    But that is where any similarity ends.

    I spent many hours and killed quite a few brain cells working out how to put my pockets into my Kilts without harming the look, hang, and swish of the Kilt.

    A good Pocket in a Kilt is not just stuffing an extra flap of fabric in a pleat. There really is a bit of Engineering and trial & error involved.

    How I do it is only one way. I sort of guard my construction method and keep it to myself.

    You could always wait till later this year when "The Art of Contemporary Kiltmaking" comes out.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Don't tease.
    "The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
