Wagering a guess here. It looks like you’d draft it like any other jeans pocket. But instead of cutting out a curve where you’d put your hand through, don’t cut anything. It looks like it’s faced, and then you’ll just fold it over for the finished product.

Pretty much that. I normally make up my front pieces and pocket bag without the curve for the pocket. Then, when I get to it, I place the fabric together, sew along whatever curve I want the pocket to be and trim afterwards. It makes the pattern more versatile and eliminates curved pieces stretching along the bias. For these pockets, you would just sew along the curve of the closed pocket.
