Yes, the pocket lining is only the bottom portion of the pocket. Basically from the bottom of the opening to the bottom of the pocket. It is to re-enforce the wool fabric which is prone to keys poking right through.
You can see where the lining is sewn in this photo. It is just below the wide black stripe.
The pocket opening is to the bottom in the above photo.
Ah, that makes more sense than what I was envisioning.
For the pocket opening reinforcement, is the extra tartan fabric added to the outer layer of the pocket, so you don't feel it when putting your hand in the pocket, or is it added to the inner layer of the pocket, or to both the outer and inner layers?
