Aspects herein are directed to an upper-body garment that can be converted into a backpack. The upper-body garment comprises a pouch structure located on an outer-facing surface of a back aspect of the garment. The upper-body garment further includes first and second closure mechanisms positioned on the outer-facing surface of the back aspect of the garment. To convert the upper-body garment into the backpack, the sleeves are folded inward, and the back aspect of the garment is folded toward the front of the garment so as to align the first and second closure mechanisms. The closure mechanisms can be releasably mated to each other to form the backpack and to enclose the upper-body garment within the backpack.

A modular attachment matrix array having a matrix array layer, wherein the matrix array layer comprises a plurality of spaced apart matrix array apertures, wherein each of the matrix array apertures is formed through the matrix array layer and is formed as an elongated octagon, and wherein the matrix array apertures are arranged in a repeating sequence of equally spaced rows and equally spaced columns. In certain exemplary embodiments, the matrix array layer is at least partially attached or coupled to at least a portion of a carrier material.

The glove with clip is a clip on the outside of the palm portion of a glove having a spring loaded raised lip urged against the glove tor spring base on the glove to removably hold papers, notes, instructions or lightweight material such as sand paper. The clip may be a flat metal clip having a base on the glove, a spring wire attached to the glove or a magnetic closure adapted to releasably hold papers or similar material used by a worker such as a plumber or electrician.

A rain cover system includes a jacket composed of a rain resistant material to be worn by a user, the jacket having a compartment accessible from a back portion of the jacket via a closure mechanism; and a pack cover disposed within the compartment to extend away from the back portion of the jacket; the pack cover is configured to enclose a backpack to protect against rain; the pack cover is integral with the jacket, thereby providing zero access points for water to reach the backpack; and the pack cover is stored flat against the user's back within the compartment when not in use.

An elongated length adjustable pocket assembly attaches to a garment surface of a garment to hold items. The pocket has an elongated configuration for retaining long objects. The pocket is defined by a top edge that can be length adjusted along the garment surface through a male fastener that attaches to corresponding female fasteners at incremental attachment points along the longitudinal of the garment surface, so as to increase or decrease the length of the pocket. One or more male fasteners are disposed at the corners of the top edge of the front panel of the pocket. The male fasteners face inwardly so that they can detachably fasten to corresponding upper and lower female fasteners that position at incremental heights on a garment outer surface, so as to enable the top edge of the pocket to fasten at different heights on the garment surface; and thereby length-adjust the pocket.

A clothing integrated tab system is disclosed. The clothing integrated tab system may include an anchor panel. The anchor panel may include a first aperture, a second aperture, a channel extending between the first aperture and the second aperture, and a bridge tab. The bridge tab may be disposed between the first aperture and the second aperture as well as extending over the channel. The clothing integrated tab system may include a tab member removably coupled to the anchor panel and extending through the first aperture, the channel and the second aperture.

A clothing part configured to surround a human body to protect the human body; and an accommodation part connected to the clothing part and configured to provide an accommodation space which is a predetermined space in which a predetermined object is received, wherein the accommodation part may form one surface together with the clothing part as an accommodation coupling part which is a part of the accommodation part is coupled to a clothing coupling part which is a part of the clothing part in a storing portion, and may provide the accommodation space which is a space in which a predetermined object is received, together with the clothing part as the accommodation coupling part and the clothing coupling part are separated from each other and thus a portion of the clothing part and a portion of the accommodation part are spaced apart from each other in an accommodation position.

An apron garment assembly includes an apron that is worn on a torso of a user, and the apron has a neck strap and a pair of waist straps. A plurality of retainers is each of the retainers is coupled to the apron and each of the retainers is manipulated to releasably engage a conductor on a pair of earphones. In this way the retainers inhibit the conductor from becoming tangled. A pouch is coupled to the apron and the pouch is collapsible into a stored position having the pouch lying against the apron. The pouch is selectively pulled away from the apron into a deployed position thereby facilitating the pouch to carry a plurality of objects. In this way the pouch enhances the user's ability to carry a plurality of objects.

A hooded garment can include a torso section extending from a waist region to a neck region, where the torso section includes a chest region and a back region. The hooded garment includes a hood extending upward from the neck region and having a front opening, a right sleeve extending from a right shoulder region of the right torso region and having a first wrist opening, and a left sleeve extending from a left shoulder region of the left torso region and having a second wrist opening.

A ballistic-resistant garment having a tensioning fastening system, and methods of making and using such a ballistic-resistant garment, whereby the ballistic-resistant garment includes (i) a front panel having a front panel pocket configured to receive a first ballistic-resistant insert; (ii) a back panel having a back panel pocket configured to receive a second ballistic-resistant insert; (iii) a front panel elastic elongate member coupled to the front panel; (iv) a front panel first fastener coupled to a front panel elastic elongate member first end; (v) a front panel second fastener coupled to a front panel elastic elongate member second end; (vi) a back panel elastic elongate member coupled to the back panel; (vii) a back panel first fastener coupled to a back panel elastic elongate member first end; and (viii) a back panel second fastener coupled to a back panel elastic elongate member second end.
