You speak of cycling jerseys with front pockets as being something rather old. When I got back into the sport two years ago, the gear I had laying around were two pair of cycling shorts which were my preferred underwear for long distance motorcycling trips, and the two remaining jerseys I hadn't gotten rid of, mainly because they had my TOSRV patches from the 70's sewn on.

One jersey was a Lambertini, wool/acrylic blend, and the other was a Cool Gear (which I seem to remember as the first 'hip' line of cycling clothing that came out of the bike boom) totally man made fibre - and both had front pockets.

Yes, that's where we kept out cigarettes, rolling papers, or whatever else was small and probably would absolutely horrify modern cyclists.

I was actually disappointed when I started shopping for a new load of jerseys to find out that we'd gone down to just the three rear pockets. Anyone got an idea when the style changed
