My brother wears several of my grandfather's jackets -- one may be our great-grandfather's -- and two of them have this exterior decorative flap. Behind the flaps are functional pockets and one of one of them is divided into two halves, stitched vertically down the middle, for some unknown reason. That same jacket has a small, flapped interior pocket on the opposing side and a separate unflapped wider and deeper one beside it.
These are bespoke jackets, of course; I believe that the small interior pocket was for his silver/ivory cigar holder I have, and the other for a leather wallet (which I also have) holding three cigars.
Wonderful personal alterations to traditional Highland civilian dress.
