sisävuori

Sisävuori refers to the inner lining of a garment, bag, or other item. It is the layer on the inside that lies closest to the wearer or to the interior of the product. The lining is usually a lighter, smoother fabric than the outer material and is chosen for comfort, ease of wearing, and to protect the outer fabric from wear. Typical materials include polyester, viscose, cotton, silk, acetate, and blends.

The primary purposes of a sisävuori are to hide raw seams, improve the garment's drape and fit, reduce friction against the skin, add warmth or insulation, and help the item keep its shape over time. Linings can be fully attached to the outer layer or partially attached, with separate pieces in sleeves or other parts. In some designs the lining is removable or quilted to provide structure or padding.

In practice, sisävuori is common in clothing such as jackets, coats, skirts, and dresses, as well as in footwear, bags, and various upholstered products. The choice of lining material and construction influences comfort, durability, care requirements, and the overall feel of the item.

Care depends on the material and construction. Many linings are machine washable or dry cleaned; some require specialist cleaning or are designed to be removed before cleaning the outer fabric.

Etymology: the word combines sisä meaning inside and vuori meaning lining. In textile contexts it denotes the inner layer that contacts the body or inner surfaces.
