My Ex had a pair of slacks that had “fake pockets” on it. She would complain literally every time she wore them. One day, it dawned on me that nicer pants and coats for men, sometimes had pockets sewed shut loosely to keep them looking nice in the store (i think that’s the reason anyways). So, I asked her if it was sewn shut, and it was. She was mad at me for not telling her sooner.

Unless it has a lining, you should be able to determine whether the pockets are real or fake by checking the inner side.
She, unfortunately, wasn’t that bright.
That’s exactly why they do that! I used to be a wedding photographer and had to inform the groomsmen about this detail pretty often lol
I just intentionally leave the outer pockets of my suit jackets seen shut. I just use the inner pockets if necessary.
