Combination hood and scarf garment

Abstract

The present invention relates to a combination hood and scarf garment developed to maintain the wearer's full front body, upper back, shoulders, full neck, ears, full head, and face insulated from the cold weather. This garment is designed with a long scarf whose strips of fabric can be fastened together with buttons to provide full coverage of the wearer's body, much like a blanket. The flexibility of the design allows the wearer to unfasten the strips of fabric and use them as a scarf to insulate the neck and shoulders. Designed without a full back and any sleeves allows this garment to be folded flat and compact enough to fit inside a conventional purse or handbag when not in use. The hood is designed with special curvatures that coincide with the shape of the wearer's head and neck so as to minimize any folding or wrinkling of the fabric.

Problems solved by technology

However, the fashion world of accessory items has been long void of providing a piece that enhances and economically extends the wardrobe while providing greater protection and insulation from the cold weather than typical scarves.

Conventional garments, such as, coats, jackets, and sweaters that insulate or protect a person's full front body, upper back, shoulders, full neck, ears, full head, and face from the cold weather are typically large and bulky items that cannot be folded flat and compact enough to fit inside a typical sized purse or handbag.

Accessory items, such as, scarves and hoods, are typically not sufficient to insulate a person's full front body, upper back, shoulders, full neck, ears, full head, and face from the cold weather.

Such scarves simply hang from the wearer's shoulders and do not offer complete coverage and insulation of the wearer's full front body.

Such garments are not sufficient to provide coverage over the upper back and full front body.

However, even such head gear system does not additionally provide insulation to the upper back and full front body.

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a combination hood and scarf garment that allows insulation and coverage of the wearer's full front body, upper back, shoulders, full neck, ears, full head, and face from the cold weather while being able to fold flat and compact enough to fit inside a conventional sized purse or handbag when not in use.
