Description
- Provisional application No. 62/387,572, filed Dec. 28, 2015.
- None.
- This disclosure relates to clothing and accessories with multiple functions.
- People have always desired to express themselves and their individuality through the clothes they wear, and with the combination of accessories and peripheral items that accompany their clothing. Striking the correct balance between fashion and functionality has not always been the goal of many articles of clothing. A jacket is often used just as much for layering of clothing as it is for its function of keeping the wearer warm. When the jacket is removed, the person would usually be required to carry the jacket so that it is not misplaced or stolen.
- Similarly, backpacks are often carried as much for the look of having a bag to accessorize the wearers clothing, as they are for their functional purpose of carrying additional items without having to hold the items individually or in your hands. As styles and fashion change, sometimes backpacks are worn on the chest instead of on the back.
- In general, the present invention discloses a versatile hooded jacket capable of being converted into a backpack, or a backpack that can be converted into a jacket. The jacket has zippers on the side of the body and at the top, so that both the arms and the hood can be folded in and put away. The zippers are concealed beneath flaps that are secured closed with hook and loop fasteners such as Velcro, or with magnetic strips. The body of the jacket has a front and back surface that allow the backpack to be attached and worn on either the front of the jacket or on the back.
- In one exemplary embodiment, the jacket and backpack are made of nylon on the outside with a thin cotton lining on the inside.
- In another exemplary embodiment, the jacket is reversible to allow maximum variety of colors and style expressions by the wearer. When the jacket body is turned inside out, the backpack can still be attached to either the front or back of the jacket body.
- Certain advantages of this article of clothing include the ability to wear a jacket and not have to carry it in your hands after removal. The hood and arms of the jacket can be stored within the zippered compartments of the jacket body. The zippered sections can be secured and hidden with Velcro or magnetic strips.
- Another advantage of this article of clothing is the ability for the backpack to be worn on the front of the body in crowded places such as the subway or train station to prevent undetected theft of valuables.
- This article of clothing can also be useful when engaging in many outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and rock climbing.
