Problems solved by technology

For example, traditional scarves typically use excess material, and can present a safety hazard.
Other types of cold weather neckwear typically lack versatility, and may be awkward to use.
For example, a collar-type article of clothing that is pulled over a wearer's head may be difficult to pull on over a hat, hood, or eyeglasses, and may disturb the appearance of the wearer's hair.
In addition, the clothing industry is highly competitive, with typically narrow profit margins.

Abstract

A neck warmer has a flat, pliable, substantially rectangular body. The rectangular body has first and second ends and top and bottom edges, and further has first and second opposite exterior surfaces, bounded by the first and second ends and top and bottom edges. First fastening means are attached to the first surface of the rectangular body proximate to the first end, and second fastening means are attached to the second surface of the rectangular body proximate to the second end. The first and second ends of the rectangular body are removably fastenable to each other at the first and second fastening means. The first and second fastening means are positioned such that when the first end is attached to the second end, the rectangular body forms a tube having inner and outer circumferential surfaces provided by the first and second exterior surfaces of the rectangular body. The tube is dimensioned to fit around a wearer's neck.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to improvements in the field of cold weather apparel, and more particularly to advantageous aspects of an improved neck warmer and method for making same. [0003] 2. Description of Prior Art [0004] Although there are currently a number of different types of apparel worn around the neck in cold weather, each has certain disadvantages. For example, traditional scarves typically use excess material, and can present a safety hazard. Other types of cold weather neckwear typically lack versatility, and may be awkward to use. For example, a collar-type article of clothing that is pulled over a wearer's head may be difficult to pull on over a hat, hood, or eyeglasses, and may disturb the appearance of the wearer's hair. In addition, the clothing industry is highly competitive, with typically narrow profit margins. There is thus an ongoing need for clothing designs that combine economy ...
