Not really sure what you mean. The last time I ordered in a wetsuit I
ordered it with a pocket (they stuffed up first time round and put the
pocket on the front of the leg for some stupid reason, but got it right
second time round (I sent the suit back with where I wanted the pocket
drawn on in chalk, in future I'll just send a picture)). I think the
pocket was stitched AND glued? You may be able to retrofit pockets by
sending back to the manufacturer (or someone who can stitch neoprene).
Dive Rite make a pocket (I own one) which clips onto the upper thigh (I
added velcro to mine to keep in place). IMO it's better to get a pocket
fitted when you order your suit (the add on pockets are another thing to
mess with when your gearing up and they can catch on stuff when your
getting on and off the boat).
The wetsuit on my site had a pocket fitted (only recent change is a bungie
loop on the inside to attach stuff to)...
