Roger Moore’s trousers in The Persuaders have offset jetted cross pockets that cut through the front dart, which is in the middle above the trousers’ leg crease. Frogmouth pockets and darts aren’t often seen together, but Sean Connery’s grey trousers have a dart above the middle of the frogmouth pockets. Darts can also be along the front edge of the pocket, which is how the brown trousers in Goldfinger are made. Whilst pleated trousers can’t have frogmouth pockets, both flat front and darted front trousers can. Sean Connery’s brown cavalry twill trousers in Goldfinger and Thunderball have frogmouth pockets, as do some of his casual trousers, such as the grey trousers in You Only Live Twice. Though the style naturally goes with today’s trends, they will continue to look dated to the 1960s and 70s unless they come back into mainstream fashion. Frogmouth pockets aren’t very fashionable today, but with the popularity of jeans and tight trousers it’s surprising that the frogmouth pocket hasn’t made a comeback. Unlike side pockets, frogmouth pockets don’t flare open trousers that fit tightly across the hips.

On lower-rise trousers the frogmouth pockets don’t need to be offset as far from the waistband. They are slightly slanted down across the front, and offset down from the waistband so the pocket is in the middle of the hips rather than on top of the hips. But unlike pockets on jeans, frogmouth pockets are not curved. As opposed to traditional on-seam or slanted pockets that are accessed from the side, frogmouth pockets are accessed from the front like pockets on jeans.

Frogmouth pockets, also called cross pockets, western pockets or full top pockets, were popular on trousers in the 1960s and 1970s.
