vest-pocket
Small enough inside
Vest-pocket describes something small enough to fit in a vest pocket, emphasizing compactness and portability.
A vest-pocket dictionary or vest-pocket camera is notably smaller than standard versions.
The term extends to anything diminutive or scaled-down: a vest-pocket park is a tiny urban green space tucked between buildings.
The hyphenated form functions as an adjective; without the hyphen, vest pocket simply names the small pocket on a vest or waistcoat.
