Innerfickor

Innerfickor are pockets located inside the lining of a garment rather than on the outside. They are designed to carry small items discreetly and securely, while keeping them out of sight. Common in jackets, coats, trousers, skirts, and some bags, innerfickor vary in size, shape, and closure depending on the garment style.

Construction and features: An innerficka is usually integrated into the lining or an inner layer. Some are welt pockets formed by a narrow opening along the seam; others have zippers, snaps, or Velcro closures. The openings are often reinforced to resist wear and to preserve the garment’s silhouette when items are stored.

Usage and security: Innerfickor are used to store coins, keys, a wallet, a phone, or documents. In travel or professional attire they may include security considerations such as RFID-protective lining or extra secrecy. Accessibility varies: in formal jackets they may be less convenient than exterior pockets.

History and examples: In tailored menswear, inner pockets have long served practical needs, and traditional waistcoats included a small watch pocket inside the front panel. Modern designs adapt inner pockets for electronics, passports, or other small items.

Care and maintenance: Inner pockets are cleaned with the rest of the garment; avoid overstuffing to prevent tearing or distortion of the lining. Empty pockets before washing to prevent damage and to maintain the garment’s shape.
