Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
au porter
English translation:
on wearer\'s [left/right]...
French term
au porter
"Une vignette reprenant la taille, la composition, le numéro d’ordre et l'origine de fabrication, les jour, mois et année de fabrication (format jj/mm/aa) , les pictogrammes d’entretien, doit être placée dans la poche intérieure gauche **au porter**."
I can't find any meaningful instances of the expression anywhere on the web.
Is it a typo and should be "poche à porter" for something like carrypocket or cargo pocket?
Thank you as always :-)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion
It doesn't seem to mean 'cargo' or 'carry' because in a least one case the pocket is referred to as a "poche fausse" so clearly is not useful. And in some cases the pocket is a hidden inside pocket so difficult to see how it could be "stylish" or "chic". And in any case the spec sheets are purely utilitarian so seems unlikely that they would tack on a gratuitous obervation at the end that adds nothing to the specs. (??) I'm stumped!
