Neck warmer and method for making same

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.
