When it is desired to dispose the coat in the pocket 13, the coat is placed with its interior facing downwardly, Fig. 2, and the sleeves 18 are folded across the coat, the front panels 9 then being folded over about the seam 18. The coat is then rolled or folded from the collar end thereof downwardly towards the pocket until the parts are in the condition shown in Figs. 5 and 6 in which the flap 11 forms the major portion of the outer convolution of the roll. The flap 11 is then reversed and the coat tucked within the pocket, Fig. 7.
