An article has a panel of textile having an outer edge formed with a cutout. A permanent magnet is held in the cutout between a pair of flaps of a flexible material significantly more durable than the textile of the panel. The flaps flank the magnet, close the cutout, and overlapping the panel around the cutout. These flaps are secured by stitching or the like to the panel around the cutout to form the flaps into a pocket containing the magnet.
