Answer:

"A Napoleon pocket is a pocket that is usually located on the left breast of a jacket, on the exterior or interior; the contents of the pocket are usually protected by a storm flap or water-resistant zipper. The pocket is so named because Napoleon Bonaparte was often featured in portraits as having his right arm inside the left part of his jacket."
