Abstract

La présente invention a trait à un vêtement (200) comprenant une boucle (218) constituée d'un matériau élastiquement extensible entourant un orifice axial et une poche (224) sur une surface extérieure de la boucle. La boucle présente une largeur suffisante pour accueillir un second orifice (220) à travers le matériau, le second orifice s'étendant de manière transversale par rapport à l'axe de la boucle. Le second orifice a une dimension lui permettant de recevoir un bras d'une personne jusqu'à l'épaule. La longueur circonférentielle de la boucle depuis un côté de l'orifice axial correspond sensiblement à celle de la circonférence de la poitrine d'une personne entre l'épaule et le côté opposé de la poitrine sous l'aisselle opposée et la longueur circonférentielle depuis un côté opposé à l'orifice axial correspond sensiblement à celle de la circonférence de la poitrine d'une personne sous les deux aisselles. Selon l'invention, la boucle est configurée pour pouvoir être portée de façon réversible, de sorte qu'elle puisse être portée de manière à ce que la poche soit située devant ou dans le dos.
