• said lining material at least substantially coextensive with said pocket and being relatively lighter and thinner than said trim material and said pocket,

• a thickness of trim material overlying only a part of said lining material and having inner and outer peripheral edges,
• an external pocket generally retangular in shape and overlying at least that portion of the lining material which is not covered by the trim material,
• said lining material at least substantially coextensive with said pocket and being relatively lighter and thinner than said trim material,
• said pocket having four sides with outer peripheral edges and being of a flexible, tenuous lightweight material similar to that of said trim material, and comprising two parts forming an upper portion and a lower portion between which is located and secured closure means for opening and closing said pocket and dart means forming corners for said upper and lower portions such as to give depth to said pocket in that said pocket extends outwardly in a direction away from the plane of said cover and which combined with said material for said pocket allows said pocket to collapse and to expand according to its contents,
• binding strip means arranged around at least three sides of said pocket in an overlapping relationship with said outer peripheral edges of said pocket and said inner peripheral edges of said trim material, and
• securing means, including means along said binding strip means for holding said trim material and said pocket to said lining material and for attaching the bottom of said pocket which is the side free from said binding strip means and at least said trim material along its said outer peripheral edges to said cover.
