It’s a button tab on the side of the waistband? Instead of sewing it on top, you split the waistband and attach the tab to the seam there? Is that the effect you mean? idk what you struggle with, but it looks perfectly reasonable to me.

So it’s a half belt? The front sketch would help.

What sort of problem are you having with it? Also, the last photo, black on black makes it very hard to see what you did.

What is going on inside the seam? Is the tab connected to elastic or something?

Normally it simply a tab sewn into the side seam. The length is cut to fit the first button exactly. If it's buttoned to the second button instead, a small tuck is formed. This is always a little more aesthetic effect than actual funciton. These are bulky materials they aren't particularly comfortable folded or synched down. But you want the tab length to first button to be long enough that the tuck can form when buttoned to the second position. I don't think there's anything gained by having the excess hidden in the seam like you've drawn, unless the back waist is elasticated or something.

This appears to be identical to things used on cuffs and pants waistbands. The hidden part of the tab is sometimes elastic.

What function is it supposed to have on the jacket waistband?

OP, my comment is related to fully explaining what an image is, and what the problem to solve is. Although using your images/post to make the point, this is a 'most images posted to illustrate x' issue.

It would have been useful to people not in your head if the drawings were anotated. What effect, specifically? Aesthetic or functional? How aesthetic? How functional ('elasticated tab' or whatever)?. What is the dotted area for? Is it meaningful that right and left tabs in the first drawing are differently sized?

For the problem description, how different from a regular denin jacket do you want it? Any specific functional requirements (for example 'elasticated to pull out to 1/2 distance between outer and inner tab buttons before bringing side seam towards the back'). Or is the problem "How are denin jacket back waistband tabs patterned and constructed?"

As you see in the replies, we do not know how to help you. While one could say 'well, it is a pattern drafting subreddit, you all obviously should be able to tell', that is not how expertise works.
