However, these pockets have several disadvantages: - Objects easily slip out when moving, sitting or walking. - The outer pocket is particularly easy for pickpockets to access. - The contents move freely and cause discomfort, especially during sporting activities. - Objects slip out when sitting or bending over. - There is no solution that integrates a concealed inner pocket directly under the kangaroo pocket, which remains invisible and is accessible only from the inside. - Previously, inner pockets were mostly found in jackets, not hoodies or sweatshirts, and were not positioned below the outer pocket.

[0003] The technical challenge lies in integrating an additional pocket into the hoodie in such a way that: 1. It is theft-proof, 2. remains invisible and imperceptible, 3. flat, light and inconspicuous, 4. does not affect the outer silhouette, 5. remains comfortable, 6. Simple production enables, 7. and can be universally integrated into almost any hoodie design. 3. Object of the invention

An elastic hem keeps the opening closed on its own. Variant E: Double-walled pocket. A double layer of fabric between the outer pocket and inner pocket ensures maximum invisibility and security. 6. Manufacturing process

[0007] The Hidden Vault Pocket can be integrated into the following production methods: - Individual sewing process: The bag is made separately and then sewn together on the inside. - Layered construction: The pocket is inserted between the inner and outer fabric. - Modular process: Can be used in existing industrial hoodie production lines. 7. Advantages of the invention - Invisible integration - Very high theft protection - No objects falling out - No additional external volume - Perfect for everyday life, sports and travel - Low production costs - High comfort - Universally integrable 8.
