Benefits of technology

[0004] Some types of reversible garments are constructed using two different types of fabrics. The two fabrics are sewn together such that a different fabric faces outward when the garment is turned inside out and vice versa. Other reversible garments have been designed using a two-sided, single fabric. By utilizing a single fabric that is lightweight, significantly reduces a major environmental issue associated with manufacturing jeans—pollution. Consider the impact of one pair of reversible jeans for men and women compared with two traditional pairs of jeans. The amounts of arable land, water, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, thousands of tons of chemicals used to make the dye to color the cotton blue, copper, and detergents used in manufacturing jeans will be significantly reduced, thereby reducing pollution on a worldwide scale. Another problem commonly found in reversible pants concerns the difficulty in using belts or other fastening devices to secure the pants to the wearer. Belts, buttons, or zippers that are accessible from one side of the garment must be just as easily accessible when the pants are reversed. Similarly, pockets used in the pants must be easily accessible when either side of the fabric is outward facing. Further, the pants must be easily accessible when either side of the fabric is outward facing. Furthermore, the pockets of the reversible garment must not cause or increase any bulkiness in dual fabric configurations. Furthermore, the reversible garment must not cause or increase any overall bulkiness, and must be lightweight as to ensure maximum comfort to the wearer.
[0017] One pair of reversible jeans for men and women compared to two pairs of traditional jeans will significantly reduce pollution to the environment by significantly reducing the usage of chemicals, dyes, detergents, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Thereby, also conserving fertile land in third world countries that would be better utilized for growing food, and conserving valuable drinking water resources that would otherwise be used to irrigate cotton fields. Conservation efforts to the environmental are a growing concern to the world, as all things are connected. By wearing reversible jeans for men and women, the wearer becomes environmental conscience.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The garment of the invention is reversible for wear and may be worn comfortably by both men and women. By being reversible, it is meant that the garment of the invention has neither an inside nor an outside, but can be worn with each side as an outer or an inner side. One cannot distinguish an inner side or lining from the other side when the garment is worn. The garment of the invention, therefore, is a new, reversible garment which can be used by today's on-the-go men and women. The garment has neither a front nor back side and can be made in an indefinite number of colors and prints or combinations of the same. There can be one color on one side and another color, or combination of colors, on the other. The garment of the invention can be manufactured utilizing various types of cloth material used to manufacture prior art garments for the same use. In the preferred embodiment garment of the invention, consideration has been given to the following:

Abstract

A reversible garment comprising of a bottom portion for covering the bottom portion of at least the waist and upper thighs of the wearer. The garment further includes a first side that is configured to have a first design and a second side that is opposite and is configured to have a second design. The inventive reversible jeans are lightweight and versatile, which make them convenient and compact for travel, ideal for today's on-the-go traveler. Having one pair of reversible jeans, as opposed to having two separate pairs of traditional jeans, has a significant impact on the conservation of natural resources, and significantly reduces pollution on a worldwide scale. The manufacturing of jeans takes a detrimental toll on the environment. Reversible jeans for men and women not only reduce pollution, but make the wearer environment conscience.
