A pocket with fastener, comprising:
- a pocket formed by a base cloth, and an outer cloth disposed atop said base cloth, said outer cloth having lateral side portions secured to said base cloth such that said pocket has an open top portion, said outer cloth having at least one attachment hole formed therein;
- and
- a fastener comprising
- a planar base portion,
- a mounting belt portion having first and second ends, said first end of said mounting belt portion being fixed to said planar base portion, and said mounting belt portion being removably inserted through said at least one attachment hole of said outer cloth to detachably secure said fastener to said pocket,
- a fastening projecting portion projecting from said planar base portion for receiving a strap of an object to be fastened to said pocket by said fastener,
- a lid member movably mounted to said planar base portion for movement between a closed position in which the strap, when received on the fastening projecting portion, is retained on said fastening projecting portion by said lid member, and an open position in which the strap, when received on the fastening projecting portion, can be removed from said fastening projecting portion;
- wherein a holding hole is formed through said outer cloth near said open top portion of said pocket to hold the strap and restrict lateral movement of the strap;
- wherein said holding hole is defined, at an upper edge thereof, by mutually overlapping flaps that are detachably attached to one another such that the overlapping flaps are movable between a closed condition in which said overlapping flaps are overlapped and engaged with each other so as to provide the holding hole with a closed periphery to retain the strap therein, and an open condition in which said overlapping flaps are disengaged from each other so as to cause the holding hole to have an open periphery that opens through an upper edge of said outer cloth at said open top portion of said pocket so that the strap can be inserted and removed from said holding hole;
- wherein said planar base portion has first and second lateral sides, and a pair of projections projecting forwardly from said first and second lateral sides;
- and
- wherein said lid member comprises a panel portion that, in said closed position of said lid member, spans across said pair of projections.
