On your ‘Texture’ layer go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and apply these settings.

Step 14 – Smudge Texture

To give it more of a random effect grab your smudge tool (40px soft round brush, Strength: 50%) and spread the texture around a bit, so that it looks like the image below. Erase the parts that go outside of the pocket.

Your image should now look like the image below. Now lets add some texture to the flap. Create a new layer and name it ‘Flap Texture’. Select a 77px soft round brush with a Flow of 50% #000000. Make some random marks on the flap.

Also change this layer to ‘Soft Light’ with an Opacity of 50%. Erase the parts that go off of the flap. Use the Smudge Tool if need be.
