Abstract

A reversible-pocket scarf has at least one pocket on a side of an elongated body end, with the pocket having a first face bearing a pattern or color and a second face bearing a pattern or color which differs from that of the first face. The pocket is reversible and may be turned inside out to reveal the second face pattern or color and turned inside out again to display the pattern and / or color on the first face. Even when reversed, the pocket remains capable of serving as a place to put one's hands or items for which storage is needed. The optional use of layers between the body and the pocket creates additional, similarly-reversible compartments and allows the scarf to offer even more colors and / or patterns while providing an insulating layer for increased hand warmth and divided storage space in the scarf.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present disclosure relates to apparel and, more particularly, to a scarf having pockets which are reversible and may be layered.BACKGROUND [0002]Whether attending an outdoor sporting event such as a football game or engaged in some other cold-weather activity, individuals usually have a strong desire (and need, in the case of a medical condition) to stay as warm as possible. An important part of this is covering exposed areas of skin such as one's neck and hands. The use of a scarf to keep one's neck warm, or for concealment purposes, and the use of gloves or mittens to keep hands warm are well-known, but have disadvantages. Gloves and mittens are easily lost, and a person may find herself in a position where she has misplaced one or both of a set. There is also a considerable fashion aspect to scarves and gloves, and present options are limited in the number of patterns or colors they may present. Moreover, given the increasing number of personal it...
