I see others jumping in with the jacket number and about the 'port pocket'. Sanmar calls it the 'port' pocket to go along with their 'Port Authority' (and variations

on the name) which is their house brand.
It really makes backside or front pocket area sewing easier because you get your hoop
and backing 'inside' the jacket without affecting the insulation.
If you sew through the insulation, like on a Carhart if you don't split the seam open, then you have just killed that section of insulation-squash it flat (sew it down) and it is no longer insulated. My contractor accounts love that feature, AND the fact the
Sanmar jackets at 'retail' are about $30 LESS than the Carhart.
AND we make the markup as a profit...along with charging for the sewing.
So it is easy to make $50 to $100 per jacket-I did-one company had me doing 75,000 stitch design on the back, another 25,000 on the front-at $1.00 per thousand and they were happy to pay it-because I gave them the jackets for $49- they had been
buying Carharts at $79.00
Can't beat that!
