"Pockets on a Polo Coat"

"What would Look Better, slanted Pockets or Patch with Flaps?, On a tie belt Polo Coat"

I give up. Why, is it called a polo coat? It doesn't look like something you would wear on a horse, while playing a game, that requires athletic movements.

I'd think more in term of functionality..... both look great to me, but if you tend to put your hands in your pockets a lot when walking out in Winter, the angled slash-pockets are porbably more practical.

"Personally, I prefer the flapped patch pockets"

Patch pockets.

You asked about "Looks" so I have to say the patch pockets. If you had asked about functionality, I would have to say the slanted handwarmer pockets.

The polo coat was worn before and after matches as well as during breaks in play.

Tennis players wore them too.

As did golfers.

I think flapped patch pockets are a good way to go.

A flap button over a zippered pocket looks dressy. Better than the button down flaps seen on many vintage jackets. I wanted mine to look different!

A "proper" polo coat should have patch/envelope pockets. I think that's the right way to go.
