Rintasikissä

Rintasikissä is a Finnish term that translates to "chest pocket" or "breast pocket." It refers to a small pocket typically located on the chest of a garment, such as a shirt, jacket, or coat. These pockets are often used for carrying small items like pens, handkerchiefs, or personal effects. The size and placement of rintasikissä can vary depending on the style and type of clothing. In formal wear like suits and dress shirts, a breast pocket is a common feature. In more casual garments, such as t-shirts or hoodies, a chest pocket may be present but is less consistently found. The term itself is descriptive, combining "rinta" (chest) with "sikissä" (in a pocket or pocket-like space). While the primary function is storage, rintasikissä can also contribute to the aesthetic design of a garment, adding visual interest or balance. The presence and design of chest pockets are often considered in fashion and tailoring.
