My aunt told me to add a hidden zipper pocket to my jacket design

She said it was a must for city wear after her trip to Seattle, where she kept losing her transit card. I ignored it for my first sample, but my test wearer in Portland lost their keys on the train. Has anyone else found a good spot for internal pockets that doesn't mess with the outer silhouette?

I used to think hidden pockets were just a gimmick. My friend had her phone stolen in a crowd and a zipper inside the chest lining saved it. Now I add them to everything.

Ever think about putting that zipper along the bottom hem? It lies flat against your body so it doesn't bulge, and you can reach it without looking obvious. That's my go-to spot now after a few bad pickpocket scares.
