Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in garments, in particular to an improvement in knitted garments (10) comprising an integral pocket (11) in which the garment can be retained. The invention comprises a garment knitted from superfine or micro-fibres, such that the fabric of said garment is elastic. The garment comprises an integral pocket, said pocket having a perimeter, wherein a first section of the pocket perimeter is attached to the garment and a second section (13) of the pocket perimeter forms a mouth of the pocket. The pocket configuration is such that the length of the pocket mouth is less than the maximum length of the pocket, and the pocket is stretchable to enable it to envelop the garment and retain it within the pocket in a compact package.
