A pocket structure for a garment comprising an external covering element. The external covering element may be sewn to the garment and may form an opening of the pocket structure. The pocket structure may further comprise an elastic band. The elastic band may be sewn at a corner of the opening and between a side of the external covering element and the garment.

1 . A pocket structure on an exterior of a garment, the pocket structure comprising:
 an external covering element, wherein the external covering element is sewn to the garment and forms an opening of the pocket structure; and   an elastic band, wherein the elastic band is sewn at a corner of the opening and between a side of the external covering element and the garment.   
   
   
       2 . The pocket structure of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic band has a triangular shape, a first side of the elastic band is sewn to the external covering element, a second side of the elastic band is sewn to the garment, a third side of the elastic band is a section of the opening. 
   
   
       3 . The pocket structure of  claim 2 , wherein the garment is a pair of jeans. 
   
   
       4 . The pocket structure of  claim 3 , wherein the first side of the elastic band is sewn into an outseam of the pocket structure and the second side of the elastic band is sewn into a side seam of the pair of jeans. 
   
   
       5 . The pocket structure of  claim 3 , wherein the opening has a curved shape. 
   
   
       6 . The pocket structure of  claim 3 , wherein the opening is a top side of the external covering element, the top side of the external covering element comprises at least one metallic button. 
   
   
       7 . The pocket structure of  claim 3 , wherein the opening is a top side of the external covering element, the top side of the external covering element comprises a seam at about the opening and two metallic buttons at about two ends of the seam. 
   
   
       8 . The pocket structure of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic band is in a non-stretched position, if stretched, the elastic band enables the pocket structure to have one fourth to one half inch elasticity in the opening. 
   
   
       9 . A pocket structure on an exterior of a pair of jeans, the pocket structure comprising:
 an external covering element, wherein the external covering element is sewn to the garment and forms an opening of the pocket structure; and   an elastic band in a non-stretched state, wherein the elastic band has a triangular shape and is sewn at a corner of the opening, a first side of the elastic band is sewn into an outseam of the pocket structure, a second side of the elastic band is sewn into a side seam of the pair of jeans, and a third side of the elastic band forms a section of the opening.   
   
   
       10 . The pocket structure of  claim 9 , wherein the opening has a curved shape. 
   
   
       11 . The pocket structure of  claim 9 , wherein the opening is a top side of the external covering element, and the top side of the external covering element comprises at least one metallic button. 
   
   
       12 . The pocket structure of  claim 9 , wherein the opening is a top side of the external covering element, the top side of the external covering element comprises a seam at about the opening and two metallic buttons at about two ends of the seam. 
   
   
       13 . The pocket structure of  claim 9 , wherein if stretched, the elastic band enables the pocket structure to have one fourth to one half inch elasticity in the opening. 
   
   
       14 . A pocket structure on an exterior of a pair of jeans, the pocket structure comprising:
 an external covering element, wherein the external covering element is sewn to the garment and forms a curved opening of the pocket structure, the curved opening is a top side of the external covering element, the top side of the external covering element comprises a seam at about the curved opening and two metallic buttons at about two ends of the seam; and   an elastic band, wherein the elastic band is in a non-stretched state and is sewn at a corner of the curved opening, and if stretched, the elastic band enables the pocket structure to have one fourth to one half inch elasticity in the curved opening, the elastic band comprises three sides, a first side of the elastic band is sewn into an outseam of the pocket structure, a second side of the elastic band is sewn into a side seam of the pair of jeans, and a third side of the elastic band forms a section of the curved opening.
